Su Ran was once a lonely young man on the margins of society on Earth, struggling to make ends meet. Gifted in hacking, he sought a sense of belonging in the online world. One day, he accidentally triggered a mysterious program and was swept away by a strange light into a cultivation world known as the Spirit Illusion Continent, where he possessed the body of a fellow down-and-out scion of a cultivation family. The original owner had been bullied by his family for his poor cultivation talent, even stripped of his cultivation resources, and eventually died in despair, leaving Su Ran to inherit a life in ruins.
