Novelist Qin Ran transmigrates into his own book as the tyrant Yun Jiangxian, who won't survive past chapter fifty. He is burdened by nine concubines scheming to absorb his draconic luck and his destined nemesis Lin An, who lurks disguised as a eunuch. Fortunately, bound to a survival system and knowing the entire plot, he feigns incompetence while maneuvering behind the scenes. Cultivating in secret and driving wedges between the consorts, he turns the demonic concubine Ye Xianyue to his side and crushes the proud prodigy Tang Menggong. Seizing ancient techniques and divine beasts, he shatters the fortune-stealing schemes of Lin An and King Beiyu, unmasks hidden conspiracies, reverses his fate as cannon fodder step by step, and takes supreme control over the Great Xia dynasty.
