Mortal Secrets

In a world of immortality where destiny is determined by "spiritual bones", those born with "mortal bones" are regarded as abandoned by heaven and earth. They are unable to draw Qi into their bodies and have no chance of immortality throughout their lives. They can only become servants or ants of monks. The protagonist, Shen Yan, is such a young man who was born in a family of immortal cultivators but has mortal bones. He does not hate his fate and only recognizes the word "living". However, in the desperate situation where his dignity is trampled on time and time again, he walks a completely different path from the "rebellious" people - he does not defy nature, only obeys the "ordinary", and uses his mortal body to open up another crack in the path to immortality.
