When the clock strikes midnight, Ling Beimo's dantian always shatters right on schedule.
As the supreme immortal sealed inside a modern school, he faces a double nightmare every day: his cultivation resets to zero at midnight, and there's the silver-haired, red-eyed disciplinary committee officer who always slaps a demerit slip onto his desk just before he can cheat with magic.
When demonic cultivators start mixing Soul-Eating Powder into the cafeteria's nutritional supplements, a young nine-tailed fox crawls into his schoolbag to use as a heater, and a million viewers in the Immortal Realm's livestream watch him explain Five Years of Tribulations, Three Years of Practice Exams, Ling Beimo finally sneers at his seal bracelet as it explodes into fireworks: “I didn't take the blame for three thousand years and repair ten thousand desks just to become Heaven's free online tutor.”
And as Su Qingxue, who holds the High-Risk Cultivator Surveillance Log, gradually realizes, the backbencher who is always catching up on sleep writes a lost sword art in his rough notes, and forms demon-slaying seals during his eye exercises. More terrifying still... when he looks at her, his eyes hold the traces of snow from a thousand years melting away.
