The Path of the Cunning Fox
In a world where Qi reigns supreme and sects dictate life or death, only the strongest survive... or the most cunning.
Li Wei, a former criminal advisor with a strategist's mind, mysteriously dies on Earth and reincarnates in Aethelgard, a brutal cultivation world. His new body: that of a weak, humiliated, and seemingly talentless disciple. But Li Wei doesn't need muscles to crush enemies... he needs plans.
While everyone else trains with swords, he trains with lies. While others ascend levels through brute force, he climbs with manipulations, secret alliances, well-placed traps, and pills he shouldn't even know how to refine. From the dark corners of his sect, he uncovers secret portals, forgotten manuals, and sentient alchemical flames that choose their own masters.
And if that weren't enough, powerful and beautiful female cultivators begin to gravitate around him, intrigued by his cold demeanor, his sharp mind... and his annoying habit of always having a plan.
Can a man without power defeat monsters, sects, ancient bloodlines, and even the heavens themselves?
Li Wei doesn't want to dominate the world. He just wants to survive, protect his loved ones, and prove that a cunning fox can outwit dragons.
