In a world where power and survival are dictated by one's ability to harness the ethereal energy known as qi, Xiao Long's life takes a drastic turn when he is reincarnated into the body of a once-lazy and untalented heir of the prestigious Xiao clan. Awakening in a new world with memories of his past life on Earth, Xiao Long is determined to seize this second chance and carve a path of unyielding power. With no moral compass and driven by an insatiable thirst for strength, Xiao Long views his new family as mere resources. His father, two stepmothers, and ambitious half-brothers are all obstacles and tools in his quest for supremacy. The only exception is his innocent younger sister, Xiao Mei, whom he vows to protect for the sake of the body’s previous owner. As Xiao Long delves into the profound mysteries of the world gifted to him, he discovers that his true potential far exceeds the expectations of his clan. The mark of the Chaos Tree on his palm, a remnant from his rebirth, holds a power that he has yet to fully understand or control. Facing a complex web of family politics, treacherous enemies, and hidden dangers, Xiao Long must navigate this perilous world with cunning and ruthlessness. His ultimate goal is not just survival but to avenge the attempted murder that brought him to this world and to dominate all those who stand in his way. Join Xiao Long as he transforms from a discarded heir into a formidable force, transcending his mortal limits and embracing his destiny in a tale of ambition, betrayal, and relentless cultivation. In this epic journey, the only rule is to grow stronger, by any means necessary.
