Jian Yu, a professional con artist, is unarmed, weak, and easy to bully.
She considers herself a “good person,” yet fate toys with her, sending her into the high-fantasy comic The Age of the Gods.
A new era of divine war is about to begin. The gods each cultivate their own proxies to harvest faith. The gods are divided into rival factions, and war is on the verge of breaking out.
Jian Yu: Scared? Excited!
Facing the chaos, she uses [Deception] to create identities, fabricate histories, and manipulate everything until she ascends to the divine throne.
The black-haired witch is wild and unrestrained. She teases the messenger of [War] and desecrates the Tower of [Truth], yet sacrifices herself in the Abyss of Death to give someone else a chance to live.
Reader 1: Aaaaaah, honey, please don't die.
Reader 2: Fate is so cruel... My heart aches for her. She's been acting the whole time, and she's destined to be a sacrifice.
The silver-haired scholar is detached as water when she first appears. Standing atop the Tower of Wisdom, she follows the teachings of [Truth] and never bows her head. Yet no one knows her past: her homeland was destroyed by [War], leaving her a ghost who has lived on alone through time.
Reader 1: Does the author have some kind of psychological disorder?! Why treat her like this! I want to slap myself for hating her at the start.
Reader 2: The gods are terrifyingly powerful. I've lost my faith in [War]. She's already suffered so much, please don't torment her anymore!
Jian Yu smiled: The groundwork is done. Time for my real self to appear as a demigod!
Forum-style story, secret identity and fan interpretations.
The female lead's secret identity is never exposed, but the disguises her real self plays will be exposed. In the end, her real self ascends to godhood.
A satisfying story for niche tastes.
