Born a Genius: I’m Really Not Grinding

At six years old, Sang Yan was abandoned by his father for having no spiritual root and being unable to cultivate. His father’s illegitimate son took his place and returned to the Sang family under his identity. At ten, Sang Yan accidentally discovered his secret. He wasn’t rootless at all: he had a Heavenly Spiritual Root, hidden by a strange sacred artifact. To keep the artifact from being exposed and bringing disaster down on him, Sang Yan cultivated in secret, progressing several times faster than an ordinary person. During an invasion by evil spirits, Sang Yan was gravely wounded by a spirit too powerful to defeat. Yu Yuheng, master of the Shadowmoon Sect, rescued him. Because Sang Yan looked like the person Yu Yuheng had loved but could never have, he kept Sang Yan by his side. But Sang Yan had no time for romance. If the other man saw him as a stand-in, he would simply use his resources to grow stronger. Yu Yuheng: No one is allowed to bully Sang Yan. Everyone else: Sang Yan’s already become a monster of a powerhouse. Who would dare bully him?
