Steps To Eternity

Transmigrated into a brutal cultivation world, Earth-born Lu Su awakens in the body of Liu Guan Yi, a 15-year-old imperial prince marked by a terrifying curse—a black luck halo, visible only to him. Armed with a mysterious system that reveals the fate-bound auras of others, Liu Guan Yi learns the horrifying truth: he is destined to suffer, fail, and die young.



But Liu Guan Yi refuses to bow to fate.



Ruthless, cunning, and pragmatic, he conceals his mind behind a gentle facade, weaving plots within plots as he ascends the deadly path of cultivation. When he awakens an A+ aptitude during the empire's awakening ceremony, the world is shaken. The ancient sect weapon—the Ancient Longevity Sword—breaks its seal and flies to him, fulfilling an ancient prophecy. He is taken in as the personal disciple of the cold and powerful Ji Ning, leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and declared crown prince by an emperor who secretly plots his downfall.



Beneath the surface, a deeper battle brews. Heaven itself has selected a champion to oppose system users like him—and she may be closer than he thinks. As chosen ones and reincarnated monsters rise, Liu Guan Yi navigates a world of cultivation realms, ancient trials, sect politics, and divine secrets. Even after losing his right hand in a True God's realm, he presses forward, wielding schemes sharper than any sword.



With only black luck and an unyielding will, Liu Guan Yi seeks to shatter destiny, uncover the truth behind the 9th Leaf, and seize immortality on his own terms.



Because fate may have chosen to curse him—

—but he plans to curse it back.
