Lin Mo starts out as a good-for-nothing, but with ten years of web-novel experience under his belt, he's ecstatic. This is obviously the script for a wish-fulfillment novel! Wait for a kindly old mentor, get dumped by his fiancee, trample the villains, and rise straight to the top!
But reality slaps him hard:
The kindly old mentor who should have become his golden finger immediately tries to possess him.
His fiancee, who should have called him useless, just says, "You want me to break off our engagement? Come back in thirty years."
Why doesn't the cultivation world follow the usual rules? The villains aren't stupid, the fairies aren't throwing themselves at him, and even the secret realms full of opportunities are traps designed to send cultivators to their deaths...
Without a protagonist's halo, Lin Mo no longer dares brag about his wish-fulfillment novel experience:
When powerful enemies attack, Lin Mo tells them his enemy's name, then runs.
When he finds an opportunity in a secret realm, Lin Mo only picks up the remains of cannon fodder.
When faced with a beauty's temptation? Lin Mo just takes one step...
All right, he admits: "I want to challenge my weakness."
Thirty years later, at the ceremony where his fiancee forms a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, Lin Mo, still at the mid Foundation Establishment stage, is stunned.
"She's at the Nascent Soul stage. How did I get there too?"
