After dying in a modern car accident, Gu Lan awakens in Jing Nation, a world of cultivators and celestial prophecies that he has found out to be the world of a novel he partially read. Luckily, he’s armed with two advantages.

1) A "Scholar’s System" that rewards reading and writing—reciting poetry grants cultivation years, and composing stories unlocks martial insights. Another major way to get system points to change the destiny of the characters.

2) Fragmented memories of the novel’s plot, where a tyrannical Empress and a rebel protagonist clash.

Determined to avoid the plot’s carnage, Gu Lan settles in a remote city as a humble scholar. But fate laughs at his plans when he meets Mu Yuyan—a woman of ethereal beauty and quiet grace—at a temple fair. Their love blooms like spring cherry blossoms, and within months, they marry.

There’s just one problem.

Mu Yuyan is actually the reigning Empress, who temporarily leaves the capital (but still reigns the nation) due to a prophecy: "Only by living as a mortal can the nation’s doom be averted." Disguised as a merchant’s daughter, she seeks to break the heavens’ decree… initially unaware her new husband has knowledge of her world’s future.

Absurd! Reincarnated as a newborn into a demon-infested world, and the counterattack system shows up 30 years early?!

【At age 30, you've endured countless hardships, achieved nothing, and live in utter loneliness. Reward: "Late Bloomer" (Innate Trait). Effect: The older your bones, the faster your cultivation.】

【Counterattack Mission: Defeat Grade-6 Return-to-Origin cultivator Chen Yuan within one year. Reward: Swordsmanship – Beginner Level】

One-year-old Chen Yi stared at the system panel, then looked at his chubby little arms and legs, and fell into deep thought.

“…What the hell?!”

“This trash system definitely showed up too early!”

“I’m only one year old! What’s the use of a ‘Late Bloomer’ trait now?”

“And I’m supposed to fight Chen Yuan, a Return-to-Origin expert?!”

…

Years later, a war report came from the frontlines:

“Chen Yi — one of the Ten Great Martial Geniuses of the Tianyuan Continent, Champion Marquis of the Wei Dynasty, the Passionate Young Master, Sword Saint — has slain 100,000 demons at the battlefield of Mount Taizhou. Glory to humanity!”

But Chen Yi, standing amidst rivers of blood, just shook his head:

“I’ve been fighting fate since I was one year old. I’ve faced death countless times to reach this level of power. If you think you can do the same, be my guest.”

Those life-and-death experiences? Absolutely terrifying.

A one-year-old rival, a five-year-old childhood sweetheart, a ten-year-old senior brother, a teenage princess…

Who really understands my struggles?!

Transmigrated into the body of "Chen 94" (Jiusi)—a drunken, gambling-addicted brute—Chen Jie finds himself in a world eerily reminiscent of Ancient China, but under the oppressive rule of foreign conquerors: the Mulan people.

The Mulan enforce brutal taxes, stifling trade restrictions, and even strip the native people of their names, reducing them to mere numbers. Chen 94 is no exception—a worthless wastrel who abuses his wife and terrorizes her five-year-old sister.

But when Chen Jie awakens in this cruel man’s body, his first challenge isn’t the harsh regime—it’s surviving his wife’s desperate poisoning attempt, meant to free her sister from his tyranny.

Fortunately, the Daily Intelligence System activates in time, granting him foresight and strategy. With its help, Chen Jie begins a difficult journey: to atone for the original Chen 94’s sins, protect his unwilling family, and rise from the gutter of society.

Through grit, cunning, and the system’s aid, he slowly gains influence, strength, and—perhaps hardest of all—his wife’s wary trust. But in a world where the Mulan crush dissent with an iron fist, can a former drunkard turned rising force change their fate?

Or will the system’s intelligence be enough to outmaneuver an empire?

Scholar System, Business System, Confucian Saint System, Oracle System, Bald System, Ancestor System, Myriad Realms System…

This is a world overflowing with systems!

In this world, everyone can awaken a system of their own!

Everyone can cheat their way to the peak of life!

However, Xiang Beifei was utterly confused, “Why do all you locals have system cheats while I, as a transmigrator, don’t have one?”

Soon, he realized—

Not having a system cheat was actually the biggest cheat of all!

[Your descendants in the cultivation world have offered a plate of snacks.]

[Incense Points +10]

[Do you want to reward your descendants?]

Yang Genshuo was surprised to find that the sacrifices in the cultivation family game could actually appear in the modern world, and the things in the modern world could also be given to the descendants in the game.

Many years later, strange rumors about the Yang family spread in the cultivation world.

"To break through from the Embryonic Breathing Stage to the Qi Refining Stage, one needs to refine a wisp of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. I've heard of Scarlet Flame True Energy, Mystic Water True Energy, and Green Wood Spiritual Energy. What kind of spiritual energy was liquefied natural gas? How do I condense it?"

"I heard that the Yang family's spirit plant techniques are superb, and the yield per mu of spirit rice is twice as high as that of the top spirit plant families. This is because the disciples of the family practice a strange secret technique called 'crossbreeding'."

" The Yang family's pill dao is unparalleled in the world, and new pills are often born. It is rumored that there is an 'artificial intelligence', the spirit of the Alchemy God, who deduces pill formulas for them day and night..."

"The current Yang family's lightning cultivators are exceptionally powerful. They have used all of the Yang family's strength to create a top-notch lightning gathering array. The lightning cultivators who enter this array can cultivate several times faster. It is said that the eye of this array is called the Power Station."

With the growth of the Yang family, Yang Genshuo actually became the only immortal in the modern world by eating sacrifices!

Many years later, facing the endless stream of people who came up the mountain to seek Dao, Yang Genshuo calmly said,

"There are no immortals in this world. You have to believe in science!"

Then, he flew away on his sword.
