"I bought the sect that tried to extort you this morning, Ren. Do you like it, or should I just burn the building down?" In a world where a cultivator's mana core dictates their worth, nineteen-year-old Ren is at the absolute bottom. With a fractured core and zero backing, he spends his days working as a low-level archivist, dealing with arrogant noble disciples just to earn enough coin to survive. He expected a short, miserable life. He didn't expect Lady Lenore Vane. At twenty-seven, Lenore is a lethally powerful rogue mage and the head of the wealthiest underground merchant syndicate on the continent. She isn't an empress with an army, but she has enough gold to buy out entire factions and enough raw, terrifying magical power to flatten anyone who stands in her way. With her pale skin, sharp black eyeliner, glossy pink lips, and a striking magical tattoo etched onto her cheek, she looks like a gothic nightmare come to life. To the rest of the world, she is a cold, heartless powerhouse. To Ren, she is completely unhinged. Lenore doesn't want to hurt him. She wants to ruin anyone who ever made him bleed, smother him in absolute luxury, and lock him away in a lavish golden cage where the harsh world can never touch him again. Ren is just trying to survive, but how is a low-tier archivist supposed to handle the suffocating, hyper-possessive love of a wealthy gothic powerhouse who refuses to let him out of her sight?

To go against an unstoppable force, you need an immovable object. "Haotian, always remember, whether it be a Great Emperor or Immortal Emperor, your father is the only backing you'll ever need." ---------- There are countless characters in a eastern fantasy novel, from the heroic protagonists to the villainous antagonists, from the talented supporting characters to the arrogant side characters. The most dazzling existences in a eastern fantasy novel are naturally the protagonists who rose from rock-bottom to a position as high as the sky and the antagonists who were born with a silver spoon, always trying to bring down the protagonist only to lose everything in the end. Some antagonists go against fate to change their destiny, surpassing the protagonists to become supreme beings revered by all, while some protagonists descent down into the path of evil and tyranny, becoming beings even more terrifying than the original antagonists. There are even instances where supporting characters and side characters, to change their fates, end up in the shoes of protagonists and antagonists. But there is one more kind of character in every eastern fantasy. A background character, who only has a few appearances and is usually the lackey of a third rate antagonist. Such a character only exists to get slapped in the face by the newly risen protagonist, and is later on abandoned by the antagonist. And it seems that I, Ji Tianyu, have become the father of one such character. Fortunately, I possess the Peerless Powerhouse System, and as long as my son offends powerful experts, I can obtain the same cultivation base as them. In addition to that, I can also exchange for talents, treasures, techniques, and many other precious things with Fortune Points obtained from my son suppressing those Children of Destiny, the protagonists and antagonists. A background character does not have any cheats, no great backing, and neither heaven defying talent. But what if the father of one such background character is a peerless powerhouse who's origins are unknown and limits nowhere to be found? ---------- My name is Ji Haotian, and I'm the young master of the Ji Mansion in a small county city of the Great Jing Dynasty. I have never seen my mother, and my father's origins are mysterious, which makes him a respectable figure in the city. Lately, my father has been acting strange ever since the former young master of the Su Mansion regained his cultivation. However, one day, he told me something that shattered my entire worldview. As it turns out, my father is a peerless powerhouse! ---------- Author's Note - English is not my first language, and the cover image is not mine. I'm also not a native of China, so there might be some errors.
