History’S Strongest Senior Brother

Yan Zhaoge finds himself transported into a world of martial arts, but there is a catch: he has been thrust into the role of a villainous canon fodder character. According to the tropes of such stories, he is destined to be a stepping stone for the 'ordained son of heaven'—the true protagonist who grows stronger with every setback.

Refusing to accept his fate as a mere mini-boss meant to be trampled upon, Yan Zhaoge uses his knowledge of the world's narrative patterns and his inherited memories to navigate the cutthroat world of cultivation. Armed with his wit and a refusal to follow the scripted path of a loser, he sets out to change his destiny and prove that even a 'senior brother' meant for death can rise to the top of the martial world.
