[System auto-play, mortal protagonist, not a wish-fulfillment story, magical battles of wits, starting from scratch]

Even among time travelers, Tang Zhen was one of those with exceptionally good luck.

Eighteen years after his transmigration, he became the leader of the strongest generation of geniuses in the cultivation world in a thousand years, thanks to his simple yet powerful copying magic system.

The upright officials took good care of him.

The powerful figures of the demonic path are both his enemies and his friends.

The daughter of a saint was his childhood sweetheart, and the demoness of the demonic path went through hardships with him.

He had originally planned to simply live out this tumultuous, mundane protagonist's life amidst all the ups and downs.

...

However, unforeseen events can happen at any time.

Perhaps the author hired a ghostwriter, the novel was moved to a different section, or the editor required it to be ranked highly. In any case, Tang Zhen lost everything, including the protagonist's halo, in an ordinary protagonist's predicament.
