In a world where magic is not a miracle but a daily routine, where elements flow through the breath, thoughts can weave illusions, and strength and talent determine everything - Shen Nan is an out-of-place existence.
He was born into a family of magic, and his bloodline should have surging magic power, and he was given high hopes as a "son of magic". However, fate played a cruel joke on him: Shen Nan's magic perception was pitifully weak and his spell casting was clumsy. In an environment where everyone regarded magic as natural as breathing, he became the most dazzling alien and the laughing stock under the name of "genius".
The aura of the "Son of Magic" is no longer glory, but heavy shackles and endless ridicule. Unwilling to become a waste, Shen Nan embarked on a path of magic learning that was destined to be full of thorns. On this road, there are no shortcuts, no sudden epiphanies, only boring and boring practice day after day, bruises all over the body after countless failures, and the deep-rooted frustration and self-doubt when facing a magic that others can master easily but that he can't achieve even with all his strength.
