Setting: After the Investiture of the Gods and before Journey to the West, spanning roughly from the end of the Shang dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou to the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, a period of about 1,600 years.
Protagonist: Huang Tianlu, a yellow weasel by nature, with an accompanying copper coin.
He transmigrates into the primordial world and becomes a lowly yellow weasel? No problem. He has a copper-coin golden finger that can divine good and bad fortune and find opportunities. Cultivators look down on him? He’ll beg them to grant him a title until they question their whole lives! Powerful beings want to push him around? He’ll steal the heavens and switch the sun and moon, robbing them blind! From a little weasel in a barren mountain to the renowned Great Sage of the Yellow Wind in the primordial world. Others cultivate immortality through hard work, but I do it by… stealing!
“What? You’re saying I’m just a chicken thief?” Huang Tianlu curled his lip. “You don’t know a thing. It’s called stealing the secrets of fate.”
