Ling Xiao, a washed-up screenwriter from Earth, transmigrates into the cultivation world and binds himself to the "Heavenly Dao Copyright System." Recite half a poem and summon a lightning tribulation; plagiarize a poem and trigger a nuclear explosion. Anyone who plagiarizes him can also trigger Heavenly Punishment: lightning strikes and public humiliation in the comment feed.
As he evades the vengeful spirit of the 108 saintesses he wrote to their deaths in his previous life, he must also avoid his archenemy Su Qingli, who becomes a vessel for the Final Demon Lord and turns evil, seeking his life. Meanwhile, he teams up with immortal chef Wang Dachui to cause trouble with his Immortal-Slaying Pepper, making hot pot spicy enough to bring a Spirit Transformation cultivator to tears. Zhuge Gou, the God of Functions, uses Excel to calculate lightning tribulations, while a programming trick summons Li Bai and forms the "Badass Shenanigans Alliance." He gets out of trouble with Earthly tricks like rubbing lime in people's eyes while reciting poetry and bribing the Heavenly Dao with spicy strips.
The System's life-or-death choices, A: recite poetry and show off, B: crawl through a dog hole, keep forcing him to slack off and save the world. In the end, everyone uses a Function Spicy Soup Formation and Immortal-Slaying Pepper ice cream to fight the Demon Lord and the Cosmic Arbiter. They achieve the freedom to slack off at a hot pot restaurant among the stars, where they can feast on dragon liver. The comment feed scrolls nonstop, combat power goes off the rails, and the whole thing embodies the rogue cultivator's aesthetic: "Be wild enough, and even the sacred realms will kneel and call you Daddy."

When the intravenous injection of Zhuxian Pepper Liquid encountered a keyboard space bar stuck bug, this ridiculous healing method made my head laugh. I kept talking nonsense about the system that defies the imagination, and the desperate options were even more outrageous. The door was opened to outrageous things. On one side, it was spicy people doing it, and on the other side, it was survival in the void. I couldn't stop pursuing the root cause.
