I'm the Overpowered Dragon Proud of Heaven in an Over-Interpretation Novel

At six, Yu Qi awakened to the plot.

Only then did he learn that he was the cannon-fodder true young master in a high-martial-arts novel.

The fake young master who had been switched with him was the story's protagonist.

In the future, the fake young master would purge the land of rampant demon beasts, drive back invaders from beyond the heavens, and earn the admiration and respect of everyone.

After learning the truth about his birth, Yu Qi would grow jealous of the true young master, constantly provoke him and court disaster, until everyone abandoned him and he died a miserable death.

To escape that fate, he fled the home of his abusive adoptive mother and moved from one city to another.

After entering the prestigious Magic City University, where countless geniuses gathered, Yu Qi finally understood just how insignificant he was.

Classmate A had gone to the interstellar battlefield with his marshal father at the age of ten. Classmate B had started body training at three and reached the Mortal Realm by six. Classmate C had a divine physique and had already reached the Celestial Realm...

And Yu Qi had never practiced cultivation. He was just an ordinary person. T^T

Surrounded by his classmates, Yu Qi didn't dare speak and pretended to be aloof. All he wanted was to keep a low profile.

But whenever he appeared, special effects seemed to accompany him, and he had the face of a born protagonist!

In everyone's imaginations, he became

"the heir to the mysterious Yin Clan,"

"a genius who surpassed all others,"

"an ancient immortal reincarnated"...

To keep anyone from realizing he was talentless, Yu Qi had no choice but to cultivate in silence.

Years later, when his birth parents came looking for him, they discovered that the abandoned child they'd imagined was already standing at a peak they could only look up to.

In a dream, the future Yu Qi opened a book.

In the book, he became the one and only

protagonist of this world.
