Pull Strings

Li Changshou, once a terminally ill man in his previous life, is reborn into the Primordial World as a low-level Qi cultivator who cherishes life and avoids all karmic entanglements. He resolves to dodge the great calamity foretold by the Heavenly Dao, embracing the Way of Steady, with the ultimate goal of securing a modest post in the Heavenly Court and surviving quietly. He moves with extreme caution: when still, he is as steady as an old dog; when he acts, he shakes the heavens. He believes the era of bloodshed is over— better to trick than kill, better to stay single than to fall in love. Yet enemies and beauties surge toward him like tides. Before long, he becomes a mastermind behind the scenes, entangled in power plays among rival factions, orchestrating the Dragon Clan's ascent to Heaven, and even the great calamity itself accelerates toward him.
