A modern office drone transmigrates into the world of immortal cultivation at the age of 22. After keeping his head down for over sixty years, he now looks like an 80-year-old man with a full head of white hair, seemingly close to death. Inside, though, he's still the same modern young man who loves to complain, has a wealth of modern knowledge, and occasionally just wants to lie flat. His cultivation is mediocre, and he's survived this long entirely by relying on his experience at keeping a low profile.
He trembles, has cloudy eyes, and speaks slowly, putting on a convincing act of being a feeble old man. He's a relentless complainer, quick-witted thanks to years of experience as a master of survival, and sharp in a crisis, with the goofy sensibilities of a modern person. He appreciates beautiful women, since he's still 22 on the inside, but knows his life comes first. After being captured, he's forced into dual cultivation with the empress. She tosses him a top-tier demonic dual cultivation manual, The Yin-Yang Ode of Reversal, and orders him to follow its breathing method. But modern reading habits, from left to right and top to bottom, are the complete opposite of the order used in ancient texts, which may be read right to left or laid out in unusual ways! Lin Chen reads the cultivation method “wrong” according to his own habits, and the result... the technique miraculously reverses! The empress becomes the one being drained!
