In the previous life, after taking revenge, aside from the absurdity in bed, Xiao Ming never truly lived for himself.
Joining the Infinite Society was following the instructions of Teacher Bai Yiran; climbing step by step was to prevent his teacher's efforts from being destroyed by inexplicable troubles.
He wanted to help Bai Yiran settle scores with his enemies and earn lots of money so that the old man could retire and enjoy his twilight years.
He intended to protect Zhou Qingyuan from being bullied, repaying the love he himself was incapable of giving.
He wished to realize Fujiwara Rika's dream of becoming the king of the world and also to restore Li and Bing to normal people completely.
All of it was for others, all requiring immense power, so he stumbled and crawled, and before he knew it, he had touched the heavens only to be struck by lightning into the abyss and returned to this life.
