Unwritten Destinies

Introduction

Kai Lee is an ordinary 27-year-old office worker, a guy who finds his escape from the monotony of life by immersing himself in web novels, particularly those set in the Murim world—where martial artists cultivate immense power, mysterious sects wage war, and the strong dominate the weak. His favorite web novel, The Crimson Lotus Ascends, is a completed Murim saga he obsessed over for months.

One fateful evening, on his way home after a long day, Kai gets hit by a truck. When he wakes up, he finds himself inside The Crimson Lotus Ascends—not as the protagonist or a random bystander, but as the younger brother of the story's main antagonist, a character who never existed in the original plot. This new character, named Li Feng, is born into the notorious Black Cloud Sect, a ruthless faction that opposes the protagonist’s sect. The world of Murim is harsh and unforgiving, filled with conspiracies, betrayals, and brutal power struggles.

Now living as Li Feng, Kai finds himself torn between knowing the eventual downfall of his older brother, Li Tian, who is destined to become the main villain of the story, and his desire to survive in this dangerous world. His knowledge of the plot is both a blessing and a curse—he knows what’s coming, but his existence has already changed the course of events. His brother’s rise to power, the protagonist’s growth, and the countless hidden dangers in the world are now unpredictable.

Armed with his knowledge of the story and a deep understanding of the martial arts systems of Murim from his countless hours reading, Kai must navigate his new life carefully. But there’s a catch—Li Feng has no cultivation, no martial talent, and no allies he can trust. To survive, Kai must unlock the mysteries of the Murim world on his own terms, crafting his own path and deciding whether to follow in his brother’s villainous footsteps or forge a different destiny.
