The Fake Demonic Ancestor

The Story

Li Fan wakes as the Old Ancestor, the supreme leader of a demonic sect facing total annihilation by righteous forces. His subordinates, desperate and vicious, push him onto the stage to save their crumbling organization. The reality is far from his title. He is an ordinary person without any world-ending power, trapped in a deadly situation. With one slip-up meaning death, he relies on master-level acting and a newly awakened system to deceive foes and allies alike. The campaign to purge the sect intensifies, forcing Li Fan to maintain his facade. He navigates the high-stakes environment through sheer performance, hiding his lack of ability from those who expect the pinnacle of demonic strength. Every interaction is a calculated risk as he survives by pretending to be the monster they fear, keeping his true nature hidden from the righteous enemies closing in.
