Wenyan leyó un libro en el que un personaje secundario que compartía su nombre era una falsa heredera. Después de que la verdadera heredera asumiera su posición, la impostora intentó asegurar su lugar en la familia adinerada drogando al hijo mayor y haciendo un hecho consumado de un arroz cocido, solo para ser desenmascarada por la Familia Shen y terminar suicidándose en la desesperación. Wenyan estaba furiosa de ver tal final. ¿Cómo no se podría sobrevivir sin el respaldo de una familia adinerada? ¿Acaso la familia no le había proporcionado una casa de lujo y un sinfín de artículos de lujo? Solo vender esos le reportaría decenas de millones. ¡Ella era simplemente un caso perdido! Si ella fuera la Wenyan del libro, habría renunciado a su posición y simplemente habría vivido relajada como un pez salado! Pero cuando despertó de su sueño, realmente transmigró al libro. Fiel a su palabra, dejó de conspirar. De la noche a la mañana empacó sus maletas, vendió su casa, coche y bolsos, y buscó un trabajo. Toda la Familia Shen notó el cambio en Wenyan, su hija adoptada. No solo se había mudado obedientemente, sino que también nunca causó problemas de nuevo. Aún más extraño fue que ahora podían ver sus pensamientos más íntimos. «Papá, Mamá, nunca quise usurpar su nido, pero los resultados de la prueba de ADN de la verdadera hija tienen problemas. De hecho, ella es incluso más falsa que yo, la supuesta heredera.», pensó. Padres de la Familia Shen: ...... Entonces, la 'hija' perdida y encontrada fue expuesta como una impostora y llevada por la policía para ser interrogada. «Hermano mayor, ese compañero de colegio tuyo no es bueno, es un espía corporativo, el hijo ilegítimo de los archienemigos de la Familia Shen.», pensó. El hijo mayor de la Familia Shen: ...... Después, el compañero fue sorprendido robando documentos confidenciales y también fue llevado por la policía para ser interrogado. «Segundo hermano, eres una persona tan pura y noble, no debes estar con la hija de la Familia Qin, ella solo te está usando, su corazón en realidad está puesto en alguien más.», pensó. El segundo hijo de la Familia Shen: ...... Gracias, lo investigaré. «Y tercer hermano, cuarto hermano......», pensó. Al final, nadie podría haber predicho que la hija adoptada menos distinguida de la Familia Shen se convertiría en la mimada nuera.

In a world shaped by trials and ancient mysteries, a young man named Leo awakens in a remote village with no memory of his past-only a deep scar on his collarbone, shaped like a five-pointed star. As a skilled blacksmith, he leads a quiet life until he and an outcast girl, Luna, uncover a long-forgotten legend about the Silver Pentagram, a once-glorious adventurer's guild. Their journey takes them through perilous cities, into the depths of a colossal mechanical tree, and against the will of those who wish to keep the past buried. When Leo encounters a masked thief named Dan, fragments of truth begin to surface-revealing that Leo might not just be seeking the Silver Pentagram, but reclaiming a history that was stolen from him. With powerful artifacts, sentient machines, and a looming war between light and darkness, The Ten Gates is a thrilling tale of lost identity, the battle between fate and free will, and the acceptance of both humanity's brilliance and its deepest flaws. As Leo and Luna venture toward the stormy shores of the Shattered Wind Sea, they must face not only their enemies but also the echoes of a forgotten past that could change the world forever. Will Leo reclaim his memories before the darkness overtakes him? Or will he become the very thing he once sought to destroy?
