The Protagonist’s Halo, Dispelled

Liu Yunsheng is a hapless man forcibly bound by a “protagonist halo.”

Others cultivate immortality for eternal life, invincibility, or a harem of three thousand beauties.

He cultivates immortality just so he can get a good night's sleep in peace, and maybe pry off that blasted halo that keeps automatically matching him with melodramatic plotlines like “broken engagement,” “bottleneck in cultivation,” “rescue the beauty,” and “fight the boss”!

“Please, all I want is to be an anonymous nobody!”

“You want to break off our engagement? Great! Give me your address and I'll pack up and move in tonight. Just give me half the bride price.”

“Explore a secret realm? No thanks. I haven't even picked the wild vegetables in my backyard.”

“The Holy Maiden was captured by a demon lord? What does that have to do with me? I'm not her father!”

This is the funny-sad story of a chosen one who desperately wants to retire, only to be pushed forward by the entire world and accidentally save it along the way.
