The Chubby Underdog Rises

Fu Xi Yan, the chubby and supposedly useless concubine-born son of Count Yongfeng, dreams of using his memories from a past life to advance science. Instead, political maneuvering sends him into the Brocade Guard and onto the dangerous road to Luoyang. After accidentally swallowing seven rare Harmonized Yang Pills, he awakens as a martial cultivator—and becomes the only person capable of pairing with Pei Yuan Jin, the formidable young master of Immortal Treasury Palace. Drawn into deadly conflicts spanning both the imperial court and the jianghu, Fu Xi Yan must rise from an idle “salted fish” into a force capable of changing his own fate.
