In a fantastical world teeming with challenges and unforeseen twists, Cao Wenbin finds himself in a remarkable predicament when he accidentally traverses to a realm where he becomes the Saint Son of the prestigious Cao family. Initially, he believes that this new status will pave the way for glory, power, and respect. However, he soon discovers that this world is anything but simple. It resembles a chaotic dream where danger lurks at every corner, and the rules of engagement are dictated by the caprices of fate. This world is a rich tapestry woven from countless novel elements, where lucky individuals—those blessed with extraordinary fortune—sprout like bamboo shoots after a rainstorm. Additionally, fated protagonists, seemingly destined for greatness, are as abundant as dogs in the streets. In such a fiercely competitive environment, every move carries immense significance. A single misstep could lead to disastrous consequences, transforming triumph into catastrophe in an instant. The Cao family stands as one of the most powerful forces in Zhongzhou, a region bustling with hidden agendas and political intrigue. Although the family enjoys an outward appearance of grandeur and influence, the internal dynamics are complex and often treacherous. As the sole Saint Son of the family, Cao Wenbin quickly realizes that he is not merely a figurehead. He must confront formidable external threats while simultaneously navigating the intricate web of power struggles and rivalries within his own clan. In this high-stakes game, Cao Wenbin learns that simply relying on his family name and status will not suffice. To survive and thrive, he needs to cultivate both wisdom and courage, embracing the challenges that lie ahead. Fortunately for him, during his tumultuous arrival in this world, he acquires a mysterious divine book. This book is not just a repository of ancient knowledge; it holds the key to unlocking his true potential. As he delves deeper into its pages, he begins to uncover secrets that will aid him in his quest for survival and dominance. As Cao Wenbin gradually masters the teachings within the divine book, his life transforms in unimaginable ways. The previously mundane existence of merely subsisting in this chaotic world is no longer his fate. Instead, he becomes determined to take control of his destiny, rising above the limitations imposed upon him by fate. The divine book empowers him with insights and strategies that can turn the tide in any confrontation, making him a formidable player in this dangerous game. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and Cao Wenbin soon realizes that the divine book's abilities are not without limitations. He discovers that the realm he inhabits is a chessboard controlled by various powerful entities, each with their own agendas and ambitions. Every decision he makes carries weight, and he must navigate a labyrinth of plots and counterplots to emerge victorious. Cao Wenbin's enemies are not always what they seem. They could be longstanding adversaries lurking in the shadows, or they might even be friends and allies with hidden motives. This uncertainty forces him to question his trust in those around him. As he confronts these challenges, he must rely on his intuition and the wisdom gleaned from the divine book to outmaneuver his foes.

Summit, a 30 year old Seon Creature from the ancient clan of Poe, loves to read books. But he wouldn't expect he would transmigrate right into a book, no less at that. Oh, hey! He really likes to read, what would you feel if your betrayed by something you love absolutely then gets thrown in some hard ass trials? Oh, I would feel like.. actually I have no idea. It was a normal cloudy day in the mountains of PavoClan (means Peacock Clan,) Summit, the one who loves reading books, is transmigrated after a strange hourglass hit him right on the head, into a book that was becoming extremely fun to read (what I need) and it was peak, with so much emotion. But a dark mystery was behind it. He never read to that point, so why know it? Why get killed by a hourglass that should actually do little damage, which, yea, it's quite hard to kill Seon Creatures? That was the important part, because the secret behind it will massively affect everything he'd ever known.

"So, Diana, what's your excuse for betraying me?" His amber glinted eyes bore into the woman with bloodied, broken blue hair, kneeling in complete disarray. "... you're evil." "Oh, so, looking out for all of you makes me evil?" The man narrowed his eyes, contemplating the echoes of protagonist halos and heroines' mentality, starkly real now. Coming from a world far removed from such grim reality, he had read about these personalities in novels, but experiencing their shortcomings firsthand was a different story. "How am I evil?" He looked down at his foot where a young man, limbless and crushed, lay in a state of complete brokenness, mustering the little strength he had left to utter some words. "... y.. you ba..stard, You killed millions." Hearing these words, the man's internal amusement grew at the absurdity of these hypocritical people. He had eradicated all the evil organizations within the Empire after ascending to his throne. Wars were waged to crush rebellious kingdoms that stood against his Empire, uniting the entire Heidal Continent under one flag—the Selvius Empire. He shifted his gaze towards another woman with pink hair, her body completely broken, supported by a rock to maintain a semblance of balance amidst the devastation. "Hmm, so what about you, Karina? Wasn't your family about to be executed by the Aidiac Royal family? Is it wrong for me to have intervened?" "You killed them without mercy, and although you saved my family, it was not worth it." "I just saved—" "It's bullshit. You could have solved everything peacefully without drawing so much blood." Hearing all this, the man began to understand why those novels depicted these people as hypocritical and low in intelligence. If he hadn't saved them, they would have suffered the most gruesome fate. Yet, despite being saved, these ungrateful individuals chose to blame him. The bitter irony of their ingratitude gnawed at him, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. "Guess you all have the same reasons." The man looked towards the seven people, their disdainful gazes directed at him. He had only aimed to change their fates, to rescue some from slavery, others from crippling circumstances, and a few from inevitable betrayal. Yet, they all blamed him for saving them, unable to comprehend that he had severed the root causes that would have subjected them to excruciating suffering. "Hahaha." "Indeed, now I see." He now understood what those novels had tried to convey—'these idiots think this whole world works like they think it would.'
