Hong Fei was a soldier until betrayal shattered his body and destroyed his future. Now broken and discarded, he wants nothing more than a quiet life, useful work, and no more causes worth dying for.

But when he finds a card deck on a stranger's corpse, his life becomes entangled with forces beyond his understanding. The deck's rules are described in an unknown language, its powers dangerous. His only guide is an unlikely summoned ally: a giant badger named Ling, who can read the cards but communicates only through drawings and stubborn gestures.

Desperate to survive, Hong Fei enters service with the disgraced Yu family. They're exiles, marked by invisible numbers hovering above their heads. Curses. Signs of fate twisted by unseen hands. And where fate is distorted, an Attendant is meant to intervene.

Healing his body is only the first step. To restore his cultivation and protect the Yu family, Hong Fei must rely on skills he'd hoped to leave behind: stealth, sabotage, and the violence learned on faraway battlefields. Political intrigue and hidden enemies surround the family, and powerful forces would rather see them erased than redeemed.

Every choice carries a cost measured not just in blood, but in fate itself.

Fate's Attendant begins a new cultivation fantasy series with LitRPG and deck-building elements, featuring a veteran protagonist, a mysterious system, and a measured rise in power where cunning matters as much as strength.
