When overworked office drone Han Yi dies suddenly on the victory screen of Thief Simulator, he opens his eyes in a vast world of immortal cultivation. After fifteen years of living in a haze, he awakens at last, and the talent for the Dao of “theft” branded deep in his soul erupts
[Absolute Concealment] lets him merge with the shadows, beyond the reach of spiritual senses;
[Spatial Severing] lets him slip through restrictions and cross vast distances in a single step;
[Nimble Hands] lets him pluck treasures from bags as if no one were around.
He is the “Fragrant Thief,” feared by Nascent Soul experts, stealing secrets and making fools of his elders:
The Ice Silkworm Snow-Silk Undergarment of the Frost-Clear Fairy is, in his eyes, “the most beautiful fabric”;
Granny Feihua's keepsake embroidered bodice becomes his plaything for tormenting the vile and overbearing;
Even Elder Leng Yuexin, a half-step from Spirit Transformation at the Tianyan Sword Sect, has her intimate silk handkerchief switched under the watch of layers of guards. He leaves behind the brazen quip, “Though the winter plum is cold, its fragrance lingers in secret.”
The Profound Ice Phoenix-Tail Hairpin makes an appearance at a drinking party, stirring up a storm in Profound Heaven City. He publicly keeps his promise made three days earlier, treating Nascent Soul sword intent as nothing. Making “theft” his path and humiliation his pleasure, he recklessly tests the limits of the cultivation world's rules, trampling the dignity of one powerful figure after another.
But this heaven-defying divine ability comes at a terrible price: every use makes the world forget him. When concealment becomes instinct and theft becomes obsession, can he carve out his own peak on the vast path to immortality?
The Tianyan Sword Sect's pursuit, Leng Yuexin's icy killing intent, and the unknown karma drawn to him by the Dao of “theft”... Han Yi smiles and drinks cheap wine, his fingertips tracing spatial runes:
“The road to immortality is long, and I make the rules. I seek the Dao beneath the boundless heavens, and I shall be my own peak!”
