Heaven's Design Is Clear, Yet I Am a Losing Position

In his previous life, Ye Shen worked as a corpse carrier at a funeral home. He witnessed the coldness of human nature firsthand and ultimately died a miserable death on a rainy night. When he opened his eyes again, he had become the notorious good-for-nothing playboy known as the Third Young Master of the Ye family, one of Yunjing's most powerful clans. The family was embroiled in an intense internal struggle, with brothers turning against one another. Pushed into the spotlight, he was betrothed to a frail heiress in a marriage meant to bring her good fortune, becoming nothing more than a disposable pawn.

Living a second life, he saw through people's hearts and the unspoken rules. Using the resources of the wealthy, he secretly trained in the arts of medicine and martial combat, making medicine his foundation and martial arts his shield. The family was a game board, and people's hearts were its pieces. He watched with cool detachment, planning every step. By using one scheme to break another, he would not only bring this deadlocked game back to life, but also reclaim the blood debt from the enemy of his previous life, who lay hidden beneath the glittering surface.

When his enemy received the lavish invitation that promised certain death, Ye Shen smiled and spoke softly, as if making casual conversation: "Don't rush. This is only the first move in the endgame." Beneath the workings of fate, I was a piece in the endgame, and also the one moving them.
