Defy Fate with the Tome

Shen Yuheng stayed up all night finishing a political intrigue novel. When he woke, he had somehow become an early-stage villainous cannon fodder with the same name as a character in the book. According to the original plot, he would publicly provoke the protagonist chosen by fate, become a stepping stone to his rise, see his entire family implicated, and die disgraced.

He had no all-purpose System, but he did remember the complete plot of the entire novel. The road ahead was riddled with danger. Undercurrents surged through the imperial court, rival forces schemed in the shadows of the martial world, and the original plot kept correcting itself, trying to drag him back onto his predetermined path to death.

Unwilling to be manipulated, Shen Yuheng tore up the script. He avoided deadly traps, stirred up the game at court, and outmaneuvered the forces around him. Now that he had rewritten the pages of fate with his own hands, would he follow Heaven's will, or would he redraw the world himself?
