The Ledger of Fate

**Heaven is not a god; it is a ledger.** The lifespans, fortunes, and calamities of all living beings are recorded stroke by stroke in its pages. The so-called "Heavenly Justice" is a stabilization ledger established by ancient sages—using the lives of some to secure the peace of others. Millennia of incense and sacrifice are but firewood to feed it. Yang Qingzheng, the protagonist, has obtained something he should never have: the **Ledger of Fate**. He can read and alter this ledger. But the ledger does not accept numbers that appear from thin air—every alteration must be deducted from his own life: deducting lifespan, fortune, memories, and the people still remaining by his side. And that stranger who appears at the very beginning, covered in old wounds, who says only four words to him—"Do not trust the Heavenly Dao"—is **his future self, who crawled back from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood**. He did not return to stop him from rebelling against the Dao, but to teach him to shed a little less blood. Yet he never reveals one thing until death: **he himself is the extra stroke on the ledger.** Every person he saves breeds a disaster elsewhere; every calamity he intercepts pushes that war one step closer. **What he seeks to undo is precisely what he himself has caused.** — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Ledger of Fate — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
