Synopsis
This is both a work of science fiction and an exploration of the meaning of life, love, literature and art. Brainpower is no longer the main ingredient for being human in this far distant future world. Spirituality, physical balance, and diligence all come together as integrity for Chen Mu, the Card Apprentice. The cards which Chen Mu masters in his own scrappy way, distill all the powers of the cosmos – human and nonhuman – into something that is not a book, not technology, and neither art nor magic, but is these and more. Learn about these strange cards, which can embody everything you might imagine for the future of technology, but also a future beyond technology which promotes the best, and sometimes the worst, from mankind’s past.

Card Apprentice Daily Log

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah!

The image of the Imperial Concubine as a salted fish has collapsed again.

Yu Tian had transmigrated into the book and became the demon concubine who had caused disaster in the book. In order to avoid a tragic death, Yu Yao decided to wear a small vest to develop wretchedly, just to be a qualified salted fish and avoid the sharpness of the male and female leads. An imperial edict descended from the sky, and Yu Yao became the new imperial consort. What palace fight? What fight for favor? Sorry, bengong only wants to be a qualified salted fish, to endure the emperor to death, and to be the imperial concubine. It was rumored that the Emperor of the Beijin Kingdom was as handsome as a god, and he was bloodthirsty. He also suffered from some unspeakable illness. Therefore, he had been in power for many years and had few children. He only had one crown prince. Yu Yao had originally thought that she and the dog Emperor were not fated to be together in this lifetime. However, she did not expect that after entering the palace, the dog Emperor would flip her card every few days. "Emperor, your body is not good. You should rest early." One night, Yu Yao was forced to the foot of the bed. "My beloved consort will know after tonight whether my body is alright or not." After a night, the emperor ate the marrow and refused to stop. Yu Tian, who was originally determined to be a salted fish to the end, had accidentally become the Emperor's favorite. He had also accidentally exposed all kinds of small identities that blinded everyone's eyes. He had also accidentally raised the Crown Prince who would unify the world in the future and directly walked to the peak of his life.
