"A man who gains power through pleasure, reborn in a life where pleasure is a sin." Yu Cheng didn’t sign up for this—a life of noodles, endless shifts, and envy was all he knew. But one cosmic fluke later, he’s reborn as Tian Hao 2.0, the spoiled young master of the Skyward Lotus Sect, expected to uphold honor and cultivate to greatness. There’s just one snag: the old Tian Hao was infamous for his lack of discipline, and the new one's path to power isn’t exactly orthodox. Thanks to a Heaven-tier technique, Tian Hao can ascend to power by enjoying life—good food, drink, and… well, the finer things. But in a world where pleasure seeking is seen as practically demonic, he’ll have to navigate scheming elders, puritanical sects, and a Celestial Overseer who might just be having too much fun watching him break every rule. Skyward Lotus Sect was all about discipline—until Tian Hao arrived.

Revenge, Becoming the strongest, living a wholesome life, protecting the world? Nope, I was just curious. Curious about how a world would be like if there wasn't a single main character. I have always hated main characters who take all the spot light for themselves and make a fool out of everyone just because they can, I wanted a world where everyone can be a main character. A world where the antagonist can kill the protagonist, a world without a protagonist. I always thought that it was an impossible task... however fate wasn't so cruel as everyone thought it to be. Or, maybe I was just lucky... Lucky enough to get a second chance. Lucky enough to create a world where everyone can be a protagonist of their own story (Maybe not everyone but I tried my best), a world without a protagonist. --------------- Join the discord server. https://discord.gg/BaP4c8b8Vq
