[Warning: This novel contains English and Nigerian Pidgin dialogue. Strictly Rated 18+.] Death wasn't the end for Chris. After a fatal accident in Port Harcourt, a fearless, street-smart Nigerian hustler opens his eyes in an entirely different world—inside the broken body of a dark-skinned orphan named Li Yan, a boy framed by his own Sect and left to die in the dreaded Void Mountain after surviving weeks across the merciless Red Sand Desert. In the brutal cultivation world of Tianhuang, strength is everything. The weak are trampled. The talented rule. The heavens favor only geniuses. Chris is none of those. He possesses no powerful bloodline, no influential family, no legendary master, and no natural cultivation talent. But the heavens made one mistake... They gave a Nigerian the Supreme Hustle African System. Fueled by Naija resilience, relentless hustle, crazy battle instincts, and a mouth that never knows when to stay quiet, Chris begins clawing his way from the very bottom. Every battle makes him stronger. Every setback becomes fuel. Every enemy is another stepping stone.

Lin Fan is exactly three feet and four inches tall, which makes him the perfect punching bag for his snobby mother-in-law and the laughingstock of Jiang City’s high society. To the world, he’s just the useless, vertically-challenged live-in son-in-law of the failing Su family, a guy who gets splashed with wine and told to crawl into a hole. But what his icy CEO wife and her arrogant relatives don’t know is that his stunted growth is actually the result of the Primordial Asura Physique, making his bones denser than titanium and his body a condensed engine of violence. In the shadows, Lin Fan is the Supreme Dragon God, the ruthless ruler of the Nine Heavens Pavilion who commands trillions in wealth and an army of terrifying killers. He only plays the weak, clumsy dwarf to honor a dying promise and root out a traitor, but as arrogant young masters and greedy elders keep pushing their luck, they’re about to learn a harsh lesson. You might be able to look down on him physically, but when the Dragon God finally stops holding back, the entire city will be forced to bow.

The last strand of patience I had snapped into shreds when she chose her ex-lover’s son over our dying daughter. Now she paraded around smiling, flaunting him like a trophy, while I was left with nothing but the cold, lifeless body of my child. This wasn’t about hurt anymore. It wasn’t even about pain. She’d stolen a soul from me — and she would feel every atom of what I felt, and more. “I want a divorce.” “That’s not happening. You and I are in this together,” she screeched, eyes boring into mine, searching for the man who always bent to her will. “You will sign the papers,” I said, every word a quiet stone. “Make me!” I stepped closer. My hand closed at her throat — delicate, trembling under my grip — and forced her to meet me. “Sign the papers,” I whispered, voice low and cold. “Or I’ll make you suffer so that even our daughter hears your screams from six feet under.”

I died as the Nine Realms’ strongest Sovereign. Or so they thought. I woke up 5 years ago in a broken body — no memories, no cultivation, no name. The Carter family took me in as their live-in son-in-law, a dog they kicked for three years straight. The day my cheating wife threw divorce papers at me, I signed without looking back. At the crossroads, a girl in white was waiting. She called me “Your Majesty”... and returned something I’d buried: a shattered soul bead. With it came whispers. Fragments of a past life. And a truth: my death wasn’t an accident. It was betrayal. Now I have no power, but I have time. Nine soul fragments scattered across the realms. Nine betrayers who took my throne. Nine steps from trash son-in-law to the man who rewrites the heavens. They think I’m crippled. They think I’m done. Let them laugh. Every slap, every insult, every “worthless”... it’s all fuel. Because when the last fragment awakens, the Sovereign returns. And this time, I won’t die alone.

Can he outsmart the system, save his sister, and stop the aliens before he becomes the monster he fears?

On our wedding day, she didn't say "I do." She toasted my health, slid a poisoned needle into my goblet, and watched me choke on my own blood. My last sight was her stepping over my body into the arms of the man who bought her. I thought that was the end. I was wrong. I woke up in the Valerian Empire as Cale von Valerius—a discarded, "crippled" Third Prince who everyone expects to die quietly in a corner. But at the Imperial Welcome Banquet, she walked through the doors. Same face. Same voice. Same cruel beauty. Now, she’s Lady Evelyn, the newly betrothed bride of my ruthless older brother, the Crown Prince. She doesn't remember the blood on her hands or the altar where I died. She thinks I’m just a harmless, coughing prince with one foot in the grave. Let her think that. I’ll let her walk down the aisle again—right into the trap I’m building underneath her feet.
