You Asked for Immortality and the Dao, Not for Bringing Your Sister-in-Law Along

[No padding, no idiot plot, no brainless decisions, no harem, not invincible, sweet everyday life]

When Wang Yuan was born, he faced two possible paths in life.

1. Be born with peerless talent, then strive to live forever.

2. Achieve immortality first, then wait until he becomes invincible.

Wang Yuan decisively chose immortality first, then invincibility. The price was trash-tier aptitude.

But as the Fifth Prince of Great Qin, he had no control over his fate from the moment he was born, and was often drawn into succession struggles.

Fortunately, his aptitude was abysmal and his attitude was carefree, so people forgot about him and he was relegated to the Cold Palace.

Soon, he became a sounding board for the other princes.

Before his death, the Second Prince wept to him: “Fifth Brother, I envy you so much, living in the Cold Palace without a care in the world, while I never know if I’ll see tomorrow!”

The Seventh Prince died in his arms: “Fifth Brother, I never thought you’d be the one to bury me. I thought my eldest brother was my good friend, but I never imagined he’d be the one to kill me!”

Nearly a century later, the forgotten Fifth Prince unexpectedly stood against the Qin Emperor and drained Great Qin’s national fortune, shocking the world.

Five hundred years later, Great Qin’s capital fell.

The First Prince, his back bent with age, spared no effort and braved countless dangers before finally finding Wang Yuan, still as young as ever.

“Fifth Brother, Great Qin is in danger. Please, you must help us!”
