Lin Xiaolu, a wage slave from the 21st century, wakes up in the cultivation world in the body of a boy who shares his name. The moment their memories merge, he is met with the tragedy of a family destroyed: his father is dead, his soul sealed away; his mother has been abducted by a mysterious powerhouse. All that remains is a cold jade pendant hiding a secret. Burdened by a blood feud and determined to save his mother, he claws his way up from the bottom ranks of the Qingyun Sect.
He is sharp-tongued and lecherous, yet loyal and devoted. He jokes around and acts the fool, yet strikes without hesitation. His modern soul brings more than unconventional ideas: it also comes with an inescapable habit, smoking. When a sprig of “Worryfree Grass” in the cultivation world stirs his homesickness, that wisp of mortal smoke becomes his unique mark, helping him stay true to himself and press onward along this cold road to immortality.
From a shocking upheaval in a humble room to the first steps through mist and rain, from the storms of Zhongzhou to the roars of ten thousand demons, from the Fallen Star Secret Realm to the Burning Heaven Warzone… Lin Xiaolu strides across mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a three-foot blade of green steel in hand (a cigarette), stirring the heavens with laughter and curses. Beautiful women stand by his side, brothers follow him, powerful enemies surround him, and mysteries pile up. From a lowly Foundation Establishment cultivator, he will fight his way to the heights of the Heavenly Void and seek the Dao, until at last he sets foot on the elusive road to becoming an Immortal Emperor.
This journey is not for carefree immortality, but for the obsession in his heart: to revive his loving father, save his mother, kill his enemies with his own hands, and claim the supreme battlefield of Heaven’s Mandate! Watch how a modern soul uses smoke as his guide and love as his blade in a xianxia world, defying fate and rewriting his destiny in the stirring saga of “A Misty, Rainy Road to Immortality”!
