Grandmaster, Your Persona Is Falling Apart!

Ling Chen, a workaholic who died from overwork, transmigrates into the body of a good-for-nothing outer disciple of Tianyan Sect in the cultivation world, whose life hangs by a thread. From the start, he’s bound to a sharp-tongued snark System, faces a 90% risk of dying, and is branded an “illegal immigrant from another world” by the Heavenly Dao, which relentlessly rejects him. Furious, Ling Chen puts his office-worker smarts to use: optimizing breathing techniques to meet KPIs, creating diversions to snatch resources, and using jump-rope moves in magical duels to stun the crowd. He carves out an outrageous path to success in the cultivation world!

Then he runs into the legendary Lingyuan Patriarch, said to be the most beautiful man in the cultivation world, with a presence so icy it could give you frostbite. At their first meeting, Ling Chen blurts, “SSR male god!” and the patriarch’s gaze freezes. The next time, he says, “Patriarch, you’re the GOAT!” and the patriarch seriously researches ancient incantations. The third time, Ling Chen picks up the patriarch’s “trash,” only to find it’s a bundle of divine cultivation manuals!

Ling Chen thought he’d latched onto a cold, powerful backer, but then he discovers the patriarch’s persona is falling apart. Wasn’t he supposed to be an aloof, celibate iceberg? Why is his spiritual sense secretly following Ling Chen? Wasn’t he supposed to have transcended worldly desires? Why is he obsessed with Ling Chen’s mints and osmanthus cakes? Wasn’t he supposed to be omnipotent? Why does he instantly get lost in secret realms?

Even more terrifying, when the Heavenly Dao’s tribulation lightning crashes down and demonic cultivators’ schemes close in, the patriarch whose persona has crumbled keeps shielding Ling Chen, his icy eyes warming with a scorching light. “For you, what does it matter if my whole persona falls apart?”
