Everyone in our family has their own secrets.... more>>

My mom is the only daughter of a former interstellar pirate, my father is a secret agent of the Old Century Allied Political Army. My adopted older brother has a special bloodline of beastmen, and the sister we picked up from the roadside is actually a master of witchcraft with mystical lineage.

And I, an ordinary eighteen-year-old male high school student, the only biological son of my parents, has no special bloodline, and has been a “normal person” since birth

The reason why I can know everyone’s secrets is because-

I transmigrated.

I was originally an ordinary person on the edge of the class, classmates couldn’t even remember my name occasionally. I refused all social activities that might attract attention, and kept to myself at school.

For some reason, I offended the tough guys in school, and they began to target me openly and secretly, but I never fought back.

Everyone thought I was timid and cowardly, and I never explained.

Because I just wanted to be an ordinary person.

Until one day, I intervened to save a classmate who was being bullied. I accidentally exerted too much force, causing multiple serious injuries. As they lay on the ground unable to get up, I personally took them to the hospital.

Since then, whenever the tough guys who call themselves the school bullies see me, they can’t help but feel weak in the knees—

Yes, as one of the members of this special family, I also have a little secret:

Before transmigrating, I cultivated for a hundred years, with profound cultivation, just a half step away from ascension.

In short, invincible.

The classmate I saved recently has been looking at me strangely.

One day, he found me, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes turning, and he stared at me and said:

“I know your secret.”

I immediately covered his mouth, pushed him into the corner, avoiding the sight of others, and calmly questioned him: “What do you know?”

He’s the antagonist of this book. Although it will be another ten years before he turns dark, if he finds out that this world is a book, many things will go awry

I don’t want to get involved in any trouble, so I must not let him discover me—

“You like me.”

Transmigrated.
