I Went Out and Picked Up a Husband, Turns Out He's a Reclusive Master

Son-in-law + playing the fool to outsmart others + one female lead + building a career + cultivation + System + transmigrate

On the streets of Jiangcheng, Su Qingyue, the heiress of the Su family, tries to dodge an arranged marriage by "snagging a husband." By a twist of fate, she brings home Lin Fei, the heir to the reclusive Lin family. From then on, the Su household sees the arrival of its "useless live-in son-in-law." But who would have guessed that this man, so clumsy at washing clothes and cooking, would secretly resolve the Su family's business crisis, face-slap the family mockers, and shine amid the Lin family's infighting, as the Second Elder plots a coup and Lin Hao vies for the heir's position? Together with Su Qingyue, he brings the family turmoil to an end and repels a financial attack by Global Capital.

Their peace does not last long. The cultivator Mo Chen suddenly appears, intent on seizing the Lin family's spiritual vein, and Su Qingyue dies protecting Lin Fei. In his grief, Lin Fei activates the Lin family's cultivation System and awakens the consciousness of his great-grandfather, Lin Xuanzhen, a cultivator from the Upper Realm. Using the System's power to travel back in time, he returns to the day he first met Su Qingyue, determined to change their fate.

From then on, worldly business battles escalate into cultivation duels. Lin Fei practices the Lin family's techniques, advancing through Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, and joins forces with his great-uncle Lin Xuanfeng, a Golden Core cultivator, to fight the Demon Venerable Long Aotian and the Qingxuan Sect behind him. But then the ultimate boss, the Nascent Soul-stage Mo Luo, invades with the Soul-Devouring Sect from the Upper Realm. With everyone dead and all hope lost, the System triggers its ultimate time reversal, sending Lin Fei back three hundred years to the era of the Lingxuan Sect in the Upper Realm.

There, he reunites with the young Lin Xuanzhen and Lin Xuanfeng and forms an alliance against the demons, only to discover that the Demon Venerable Chonglou has also traveled through time and is at odds with Mo Luo beneath a facade of cooperation. As three centuries collide and the immortal and demonic factions stir with hidden agendas, Lin Fei holds both memories of the future and secret techniques for spiritual veins. Can he completely thwart the Demon Sect's conspiracy, protect his beloved and the spiritual veins of the Lower Realm, and rewrite the fate in which everyone dies?
