How to Play a Great Card

Gu Yunyuan, a member of the Gu Clan, was once the family's most promising soul cultivator. But one fateful night, a mysterious black card shattered the fifteen years of seemingly peaceful life he had known. Murder attempts, pursuit, a fall from a cliff... In the end, he met the most important person in his life, along with brothers as close as family. Every time he faces death and is reborn through the flames, it becomes an indispensable part of his life. The strange art of soul cultivation, the mysteries of card cultivation, and the many wondrous uses of different cards: only now does he truly feel the power and magic of cards. The power of cards is endlessly varied, and the world of cards holds countless wonders... Yet what Yunyuan cares about most is the black card he came by unexpectedly, and its true owner. When will he learn the truth about his origins, see the conspiracy laid bare, and find a place for his heart to call home... War is not what I wish for. If I retreat, I hope we can leave together, hand in hand. What happened hundreds of years ago was never what I wanted. I only hope to make it up to you in this life. This time, even if I have to search heaven and earth, I will never give up. Let me make two things clear: First, this is an Eastern cultivation story, not Western fantasy. Second, this story is not angsty at all! It's a power fantasy with rapid progression~ Third, this story is unfinished, so don't follow it! A friendly warning: 1) The story is scheduled to start on July 1 at 10 a.m. (tentative, possibly earlier.) 2) Jealous top, composed bottom. 3) One-on-one, happy ending. 4) After it goes premium, I'd like to post two chapters a day. What do you think? 5) An unlimited progression power fantasy, though it may still involve food... 6) This is actually a hidden note: this story has no moral compass. It features life-and-death battles, decisive killing, and never leaving a single loose end. 7) Number four was your imagination. 8) The card-world setting is based on a Qidian novel, but with some differences. If you've read other card-themed stories, please... forget them so you don't get confused... Setting: Almost everyone on the continent awakens once. Some become technicians with various skill cards, while others awaken perception and become card masters. The most promising are soul masters, who possess a talent for combat. Soul masters awaken soul power, causing soul patterns to appear on their left arms, and can use cards of their awakened type. Card masters awaken perception, causing spirit patterns to appear on their right arms, and can create cards. Technicians awaken talent skill cards and use different cards in combination with their talents. Those whose Spirit Sea collapses are called Gray People, meaning they are useless. Other details will be added based on everyone's suggestions. This story is unfinished, so don't follow it. Theme:
