Kehidupan Wa Lang di Bumi berakhir sia-sia. Miskin, sendirian, dan terlupakan. Kematiannya pun tak mulia. Namun, ternyata menjadi awal mimpi buruk baru. Ia terbangun di dunia kultivasi yang kejam, bukan sebagai protagonis berbakat, melainkan sebagai budak dengan sisa hidup sepuluh hari. Sepuluh hari sebelum jiwa dan raganya digunakan sebagai pupuk spiritual untuk menyuburkan tanaman obat para kultivator jahat. Terjebak di antara kematian kedua dan kehidupan sebagai bahan mentah, Wa Lang hanya punya satu senjata: akal sehatnya sebagai manusia modern. Dengan sisa-sisa pengetahuan kimia, fisika, dan psikologi dari Bumi, ia harus meramu, memanipulasi, dan mengakali jalan keluar dari tempat yang seharusnya tak tertembus. Ini bukan kisah tentang menjadi yang terkuat. Ini kisah tentang bagaimana seekor belalang yang cerdik dapat merobek akar pohon ek yang paling sombong.

Three months before my wedding, I found my fiancé buried deep inside my maid of honor. ​I gave Leo five years of my life. I ironed his shirts, managed his stress, and sacrificed my own dreams to build our perfect future. My reward? Standing in the doorway of our bedroom, listening to him call me "boring" while he ruined our bed with my best friend. ​Shattered, humiliated, and completely alone, I ran out into the freezing, torrential rain with nothing but the clothes on my back. I thought my life was over. I thought I had hit rock bottom. ​Until a massive black umbrella blocked out the storm, and a heavy, expensive suit jacket was draped over my trembling shoulders. ​Alexander. Leo’s incredibly wealthy, terrifyingly ruthless Godfather. ​He is older. Untouchable. The most feared man in the city and the patriarch who controls Leo’s entire inheritance. He is the ultimate forbidden fruit. ​He didn't look at me with pity as I sat bleeding and broken on the pavement. He looked at me with a dark, consuming hunger that made my breath hitch. Kneeling in the wet street, he wiped a tear from my jaw and whispered a promise that would change my life forever: ​"Tell me who did this to you, and I will ruin his life by morning." ​I only wanted a place to dry off. I only wanted a little bit of revenge. I never meant to let him back me against the marble counters of his penthouse. I never meant to crave his rough hands, his possessive growls, or the intoxicating danger of his bed. ​If Leo’s family finds out, it will destroy Alexander’s empire. ​But once the Godfather claims you... there is no going back.

“Are you going to treat me like the enemy?” Raffaele asked, hovering over me like a predator. “You are the enemy,” I sneered. He smiled. “Careful.
