"…Just, Fair, Kind, The reign of the Righteous Sovereign, one of eternal prosperity for the innumerable beings beneath the Myriad Heavens of the Vast Expanse. Countless creatures sing of his unrivaled attainments, they look upon with reverence at his matchless divine might, offering praise to his grand achievements, unifying the fragmented realms in eternal peace and prosperity... Beloved, do you agree with this Sovereign's 'correction' of the Vast Expanse's Eternal records?" the Sovereign spoke as he peered over his shoulder at the peerless beauty behind him.

"The Eternal records' sanctity is protected by the Gilded seal of the three Hallowed Scholars, although the three of them cannot touch you, such tampering is bound to render adverse karma on our Righteous Palace. Nevertheless, just? Fair? You frivolous prick, vile bastard! Kind? Scram! We just came from wiping out a universe! Do you even know what shame is? Is the thing stuck to your skull a person's skin or a donkey's ass?!"

Lin Xianyi is in some sense of the word, an idiot. After a lifetime of *Spoiler, read to find out 😜*, his soul is somehow drawn into the body of a child inside of a mysterious cocoon. Waking up as the cocoon shatters, he slowly comes to the realization that he has arrived in a whole new world, the world of cultivation! A world where the strong ruled over the weak, reason be damned!

Follow the ups and downs of Lin Xianyi as he fantasizes about his heaven-defying might, his eternal kingdom, and the innumerable fairies in his embrace. All the while everyone else around him schemes to seize everything from him...or not? Maybe some of them genuinely care about this idiot? Who knows? Well, you could! Find out as you follow the tale of the illustrious Righteous Sovereign, an incomparably Shameless Rogue!
