Top student Shen Yici from the journalism department × drama queen Su Yaoyi from the dance department unexpectedly transmigrate, and are bound by the ancient artifact spirit, Yuan the panda, to the "Drama Queen Cultivation System."
To stay alive, they draw turtles on the aloof sect leader's robe, use hot pot seasoning to break a corpse-poison formation, and teach a crane to waltz. Their antics get them placed on the wanted list across the entire cultivation world.
When the crisis of the Demon Lord's return strikes, they invent "Collision-and-Claim Swordplay" and a "Square-Dance Demon-Trapping Formation." With an icy sword cultivator senior brother and the jealous young lord of the Demon Sect at their side, they turn a solemn tribulation into a reality show for the Three Realms.
Only later do people learn that Shen Yici's bloodline is the reincarnation of an ancient twin lotus, Su Yao's dance steps encode a secret scripture from the Jade Lake, and the gluttonous panda is actually a divine beast of primordial chaos.
When the four of them and their panda narrate a duel at the Immortal Alliance Assembly like a comedy routine, even the Heavenly Dao finally admits:
"Cultivation really does need a sense of fun!"
