The word "fate" traps people in a cage from which they cannot escape. No one knows whether the things you do today that you believe will change your fate are part of fate itself.
A gentle breeze blows, and the capital city is approaching autumn. In a spacious office in a building in the city center, the decorations are minimal, with a simple gray and white color scheme.
Leaning slightly back in his office chair, dressed in an expensive black suit, he placed a pair of slender fingers on a contract, tapping them rhythmically. Looking up, he had striking eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips slightly parted as he conversed with the person opposite him.
"Mr. Xie, our drug has been successfully launched into the market, and many pharmaceutical companies have requested cooperation with us. The patent application has also been successfully approved, and government officials are also interested in cooperating with us," the person opposite reported respectfully, dressed in a white research coat.
"That technology can be given to the country free of charge, but as for drug production, it depends on the other party's sincerity. We should cooperate with several companies, and most importantly, they must be qualified and reliable. After all, the production of this type of drug is not a trivial matter," Xie Wei said calmly.
The man nodded and left the room. The man inside was none other than Xie Wei, the young master of the Xie family, one of the four top families in the capital, and the male protagonist of this book.
[Family Classification: Reclusive/Top-Tier, First-Class, Second-Class]
There are countless families in the capital, but only the first-class families, top-tier families, and some unknown hidden families are truly powerful. The Xie family is the head of the top-tier families, with involvement in politics, business, and the military.
As far as Xie Wei knows, the reclusive families include the Su family, the Bai family, the Zhao family, and the Zheng family. Among them, the head of the Su family is a top figure in the political arena and has a good relationship with the Xie family.
The Zhao family manages the capital's underworld, getting involved in almost everything except the most illegal activities. A few years ago, internal disagreements arose, and now they and the Xie family are mutually disgusted.
The Bai family had always been involved in foreign trade and paid no attention to the domestic situation, having no dealings with the Xie family. The eldest daughter of the Zheng family was Xie Wei's mother.
At this moment, a voice sounded in Xie Wei's mind: "Ding! The host has successfully changed the original plot. As a reward, a part of the fate map of the character Xu Daiwei is revealed. The chosen one Ye Yan is about to enter the capital. The gears of fate have begun to turn."
The system appeared after that incident four years ago. It told Xie Wei that everyone's fate in this world was predetermined. The chosen one would enter the capital to begin developing, overcome numerous obstacles, encounter countless destined heroines, and finally reach the pinnacle of this world.
The chosen one of this world will destroy the world after reaching its peak, and the system searches for a way to break this in an endless cycle.
Finally, it realized that only when there was a balance of power between the chosen one and the ultimate powerhouse could the world achieve stability. Therefore, it chose Xie Wei and told him about part of his destiny—after that event, Xie Wei himself would sink into depravity day by day until the world was destroyed.
He also told Xie Wei that changing his own fate or the fate of others could bring rewards, and that the chosen one was destined to stand at the top. No matter how the fate of important characters was changed, Heaven would make up for what was lost elsewhere.
In layman's terms, the destiny of the chosen one to become stronger cannot be changed; only the fates of those important to them can be altered. The reward might resolve that matter, and Xie Wei readily agreed.
Therefore, Xie Wei has been involved in various fields of knowledge over the past four years, leading himself down a path that is not his own destiny. The reward he received was a drug that can inhibit cancer, as well as the structure and technology for solving early-stage cancer in cells. This allowed his family to secretly start a company called Qiyuan, which successfully entered the ranks of top-tier companies with this technology.

Countless people in the capital wanted to investigate who was behind this company, but they all came up empty-handed.
After clearly explaining what was on my mind, I looked at the chart of destiny in my mind and made a decision.
After driving home, Xie Wei went upstairs and knocked on the study door. He heard someone say "Come in" from inside, so he turned the handle and pushed the door open.
Sitting in the study was Xie Shengyu, the current head of the Xie family. When Xie Shengyu saw Xie Wei enter, his eyes crinkled into a smile.
"What, you have time to come see your old man today? Weren't you busy with your own affairs?" Xie Shengyu has always been indulgent towards his son. Xie Wei has no intention of joining the company now, so he doesn't force him. This is mainly because of what happened four years ago and Xie Wei's subsequent actions, and he is afraid of putting pressure on Xie Wei.
"I heard today that your company has something to do in Y country," Xie Wei said, scratching his head. "I came here specifically to volunteer."
Hearing his son start to care about company matters, Xie Shengyu's lips curled up slightly. He paused briefly and said with a hint of difficulty, "It's rare for you to take the initiative to care about this. Dad would also like to entrust it to you, but you need to have achievements to convince your uncles and elders, or have the status to handle this matter."
Upon hearing this, Xie Wei knew that his father was trying to trick him into working at the company again.
Thinking that his company would be exposed sooner or later, he figured it wouldn't hurt to tell his family first. He said helplessly, "Dad, I heard all about your plans in the Arctic Ocean. I'll go to the company sooner or later, but not now. Besides, Qiyuan was founded by me, and this achievement should be enough to shut up those uncles and elders in the group."
"What?! You founded Qiyuan?!" Xie Shengyu's mouth gaped open in shock, unable to utter another word. He looked at me for a moment, then slightly composed himself. "But the place we went to this time wasn't safe, your..." Before he could finish, he was once again stunned by the aura I displayed. "Your cultivation has reached the Day after tomorrow! You..."
[Realm Levels: Body Tempering - Acquired - Innate - Breaking Through Mortal - Entering the Realm - Immortal (Excluding Immortal, Body Tempering is divided into five stages, the rest are divided into early, middle, and late stages)]
He hadn't expected Xie Wei to have already entered that world, and before he could ask him what was going on, Xie Wei interrupted him.
"Anyway, leave the cooperation negotiations in Country Y to me. I also have things to do there. I'll get it sorted out for you in six months at most. We'll talk about the rest later. Remember to tell Mom." He said this perfunctorily as he quickly left the room.
Xie Shengyu watched Xie Wei run as fast as a rabbit, and said with disdain, "You brat." Then he smiled and looked in the direction Xie Wei had run away, revealing a look of satisfaction.
Thinking of Xie Wei's displayed strength, he sighed: "It seems I should have a talk with the old man."
That evening, he told his wife, Zheng Huaiyu. Zheng Huaiyu called Xie Wei to tell him to be careful and to prepare various things. Parents won't stop you from venturing out, but they always have a worried heart and hope you will be safe and well.
Meanwhile, at the airport entrance in the capital, a young man, about 1.8 meters tall, with hair just covering his eyes and ears, a handsome face, and wearing a white T-shirt and blue cargo pants, arrived. The gears of fate began to turn.
