I died as a hardcore gamer, only to open my eyes in a cultivation fantasy I once played. Not as the hero. Not even as a helpful mentor. or a big villian... But as the cannon fodder destined to die before the first act even concludes.
I recognize this world instantly, the sprawling mansions of nobility, the immortal sects hidden in misty mountains, the power hierarchy where cultivators stand above common folk. I've played through this story dozens of times, defeated every hidden boss, unlocked every secret ending. And now I'm trapped inside it, wearing the skin of the game's first villain.
My position? The worthless young master of a prestigious family, universally despised yet secretly possessing a dormant bloodline that nobody in-game ever discovered because this character dies too quickly.
But something is wrong. Characters are behaving differently than they did in the game. Events are unfolding in unexpected ways. The cold beauty who should immediately despise me seems strangely interested in my skills. The vixen villianess who orchestrated my demise now studies me with curiosity.
Is my presence changing the storyline? Or was there always more to this world than what players could see through their screens?
With each deviation from the script I memorized, my meta-knowledge becomes less reliable. Yet it remains my greatest weapon as I navigate political intrigue, forge unlikely alliances, and desperately work to awaken powers that were never meant to be unlocked by a character designed only to die.
I refuse to be expendable. I reject the role assigned to me. In a world where destiny is supposedly predetermined, I will rewrite the algorithm itself, or break the entire system trying.

When Feng Changli calmly recited Yino's Year, Month, and Day of his exact birth time, his face turned pale. It felt like he was having the time of his life in a game, only to be suddenly doxxed by an NPC.


According to the rules of the Liuli Illusion Realm, isn't Yino currently replacing the historical identity of Jing Chen?


Why can Changli, an illusion generated by the Liuli Illusion Realm, see through the rules of the illusion itself?


What's even weirder is, even if Changli had the power to break the illusion's laws, how did she know Yino?


Could it be that a hundred years ago, Changli already knew that a baby named He Yino would one day be born in the Grand Tutor's Mansion?


Wasn't Xinyao called the Heaven's Eye of the National Advisor by the Divine Abyss Gate's Crown Prince?
