The Heavenly Book of Fate Forging

Shen Yan was born cursed—a severed spirit root, a scribe's life in a forgotten mining town, destiny's cruelest joke. Then he unsealed an ancient bronze scroll that revealed the hidden threads binding every soul's fate. No divine techniques. No easy power. Only the ability to steal fortune itself. Each theft carved a destiny mark into his soul, forcing him to witness the ruin of those he robbed. When he tried to save the ones he loved, fate answered with betrayal and despair. Now he understands: to forge your own destiny, you must first become its greatest thief.
