No transmigration into a book + no rebirth + two powerful leads + a touch of ensemble cast + a little goofy humor + good-for-nothing comeback
Romance included, with secret identities
A proud but easily placated Ghost King × a good-for-nothing, beloved by the whole sect, who's warm on the outside and cool within
Light comedy, angst but no tragedy, and an ensemble cast with a hot-blooded, chuuni spirit
Ning Chaoyan was a good-for-nothing whose life got off to a disastrous start. All he wanted was to coast through life, but after the sect's eldest senior brother chose him, he somehow embarked on an irreversible path to save the world (crossed out) and lie flat while conquering it.
The bright and noble eldest senior brother (gazing at him with affection): Chaoyan must have a good reason for doing this.
The gifted junior sister (proudly): Even if Chaoyan is useless, he's the most useless person in the world!
Li Chunguan, a shy but enthusiastic outer-sect hanger-on: Wherever Chaoyan goes, I'll go.
Chaoyan (looking troubled, secretly loving the attention): Ugh, these people just won't leave me alone.
The proud Ghost King: “…”
Chaoyan: 😗😗😗😗
After parting with his ever-protective uncle, Liu Nanxing, Chaoyan sets out to uncover the truth behind his family's deaths and the secrets of the Soul-Transferring Lamp. In the end, he exposes the sect's dark secrets and clears the names of the wronged souls of the past.
Everyone has their own selfish motives. Even cultivators simply hide theirs more deeply.
Through one adventure after another, he makes friends along the way. Though adrift like duckweed, he still hopes to find a place his heart can call home.
