[Synopsis]

Ji Xiang never expected much—from life or from fiction. He liked Douluo Dalu, sure, but only for its flashy edits and action-packed visuals. The plot? The power scaling? The protagonist halo? Laughable.

So when he woke up inside the world of Douluo Dalu, in the body of a minor side character named Ji Xiang—just in time to save an unconscious Tang San—he didn’t panic. He played his part. Bowed when needed. Smiled when expected. And accepted the offer to become Tang San’s disciple without hesitation.

Because beneath the calm and the politeness, Ji Xiang remembers everything.

He remembers that Tang San will soon leave. That no one will come back for Ji Xiang. That he’ll be forgotten by the narrative entirely. But he also remembers the techniques. The timeline. The rise and fall of powerhouses. And he has something even more valuable—a power sealed in his hand, one chance to change everything.

Now, with Tang San gone and the mainland waiting, Ji Xiang sets out not to rewrite the story—but to quietly survive it. Grow stronger. Think deeper. Wait longer.

He’s not trying to be a hero nor villain.

He’s just not willing to remain a footnote.
