Synopsis:

Shen Yuan finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the world of "Proud Immortal Demon Way," a cultivation setting he knows intimately from countless novels. However, instead of embodying the heroic protagonist, he inhabits the body of Shen Qingqiu, the antagonist destined for a crushing defeat at the hands of his disciple, Luo Binghe. Determined to alter this predetermined outcome, Shen Yuan grapples with the limitations imposed by a system designed to maintain the established narrative.

He must navigate the complex relationship with Luo Binghe, striving to forge an alliance that prevents the tragic events foretold in the original story. Yet, the ingrained personality of Shen Qingqiu and the relentless pull of fate present formidable obstacles. The series explores themes of predestination versus free will, and the challenges of subverting established narratives within a fixed world. It offers a character-driven narrative focused on interpersonal dynamics and the struggle for agency against seemingly insurmountable odds.
