[Wish-Fulfillment + Multiple Heroines + Master Schemer + Scheming + Hilarious + Unexpected Charm]
Lin Xiu opened his eyes and found himself a brand-new disciple of Beihai Academy, with impeccable credentials. His appearance? Adorable and refined, mild-mannered, a future sage in the making. His inner thoughts? A nonstop stream of frantic commentary: “How long do I have to kneel for this stupid ceremony? Knee pads! Where are my knee pads?” “Scamming freebies? That’s my specialty!”
The [Saintly Survival System] he awakened was even more absurd: **he could grow stronger just by twisting the meaning of the Analects!
A gentleman’s sword in public, a pocketful of lime powder in private. Ambushes, shifting blame, dirty tricks? Just the basics, don’t make a fuss! But then:
His sweet, childhood friend Ye Zhiwei: “Brother Xiu, you read so beautifully~” (Did she unconsciously use [Words Become Law] to save my hide?)
The proud sword immortal Su Wanqing: “Hypocrite! I’ll tear off your mask!” (Did her recording stone catch my pants splitting and reveal my soft hedgehog armor?)
Buddhist saintess Miaoyin: “Lay disciple, shrinking from danger is not true wisdom...” (Did she see through the essence of my survival strategy and give me a life-saving bodhi seed?)
His admiring bro Xiao Yu: “Brother Lin leaves no evil unpunished. What a true hero!” (I threw lime powder at a servant and killed him in a counterattack, and he was so moved he gave me a golden-devouring ant egg?)
Surrounded by demonic cultivators? Hunted by the Zhao family? A beast tide breaking out? An ancient demon revived? No fear! Just watch Lin Xiu:
Spout a stream of straight-faced nonsense and fleece the Three Realms dry!
Use the most refined face to pull off the most underhanded stunts!
As everyone imagines him to be a “true gentleman,” he quietly survives his way into becoming the greatest Sage (Schemer) Venerable of his generation.
