### ** Chapter 1: The awakening in the other world **
The sound of hasty steps echoed through the corridor, followed by firm beats on the door.
- "Liang Feng! Wake up! The wedding is today, and you are still sleeping? Don't make the family go ashamed more!"
The voice was rough, impatience. Liang Feng slowly opened his eyes, feeling a throbbing pain on his head. The ceiling above him was not what he was used to seeing. Instead of the gray concrete of his small apartment on Earth, there were carved wooden beams with strange symbols.
He sat on the bed, looking around. The room was simple, but decorated with details that seemed out of a period movie. Red cloths covered the walls, and an old mirror reflected the weak light that entered the window.
- "Where am I?" He whispered, bringing his hands to his face. His hands were smaller, softer, and the body seemed weak, as if he had never lifted a weight in his life.
Fragmented memories flooded your mind. He remembered the earth, the life he had led. The family he had lost in a car accident. The friends who betrayed him, stealing everything he had. The woman she had loved, who abandoned him when he needed it most. And finally, the stab in the back, given by a thief on a dark street.
"So, I died ..." he murmured, closing his eyes.
But instead of darkness, he was here. In a body that was not yours, in a world I didn't know.
The door opened with a crash, and a middle-aged man entered, wearing thin clothes, but with a frowning expression.
-"Liang Feng, are you trying to embarrass me? Is the wedding today, and you are still lying down? Return and dress! The bride's family is already here."
Liang Feng looked at the man, trying to process the words. Marriage? Bride? He had no time for questions. The man threw a pile of red clothes on the bed and left, knocking the door behind him.
With a sigh, Liang Feng got up and looked in the mirror. The face that stared at him was that of a 16 -year -old, pale and thin, with eyes that seemed to carry the weight of a lifetime.
"So this is my new self ..." - said softly.
He put on the red clothes, feeling the rough fabric against the skin. As she got ready, a strange feeling began to appear on her chest. It was as if something inside him was awakening, an energy he had never felt before.
- "Is that ... Is that Qi?" He asked himself, remembering the stories of cultivators who read in novels on Earth.
With a cold smile, he closed his eyes and tried to control the energy. To her surprise, she answered, flowing softly for her body. The room seemed quieter, as if the world around were waiting for his next action.
- "If this is my new beginning, then I'll do it differently. No one will betray me again. No one will hurt me."
He opened his eyes, and a golden light shone for a moment in his pupils.
- "I'll become strong. So strong that no one can touch me."
Outside, the bells began to play, announcing the beginning of the ceremony. Liang Feng gave one last look in the mirror, adjusting the sleeves of his red costume.
- "Let's see what this world has to offer."

And so begins the journey of Liang Feng, a man who has lost everything in his past life, but now has a second chance in a world where power is everything.
