Good Deeds, Bad Rewards? I Defy Heaven to Save Lives

My name is Di Tian. Born without heaven's favor: opportunities avoid me, benefactors flee from me, even sects reject me. Falsely accused of stealing pills, I was beaten with rods and expelled, left on a mass grave to die. That day, I picked up a broken wooden token. It said: Do one good deed a day, or die. In this world, good deeds bring evil rewards—that's the heavenly law. Those who do good are struck by lightning, those who save lives face heavenly punishment—so no one dares to do good. My first good deed: I publicly exposed my senior brother's embezzlement ledger. That night, lightning struck. My second good deed: I saved a medicine boy abandoned by the sect. That night, I lost a year of my lifespan. My third good deed: I snatched back a good man doomed to die from heavenly punishment. That night, the heavenly dao recorded my name. The whole world curses me as a heaven-defying demon, saying my name is taboo and I deserve my misfortune. They don't know: without heaven's favor, heavenly punishment can't kill me. I've been unlucky all my life, but only today do I understand—this is the greatest blessing under heaven. And the people I saved all became big shots later. I'm still fighting heaven for lives. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Good Deeds, Bad Rewards? I Defy Heaven to Save Lives — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
