(Feel-good, multiple heroines, slow burn, rise through the ranks.)
Pei Ji had been an orphan since childhood. While he was at university, his long-distance girlfriend was stolen away from him. Heartbroken, he was whisked by a mysterious force to a strange continent after a car accident.
Having made hard work his guiding principle since childhood, he decided that in this life he would build up some capital and then enjoy himself.
But reality is always cruel. The moment he set foot on this continent, the gears of fate had already begun to turn.
Pei Ji: You have great fortune. How about we become friends?
Daughter of Fortune: Marry me.
Pei Ji: Huh? No, no, no! (shakes his head frantically) I’m afraid of getting caught up in karma, and I want to be free.
But the deed was already done.
Daughter of Fortune: It’s fine, go enjoy yourself! I can shoulder everything for you. (coughs up blood)
Pei Ji: Wait, what? (heartbroken) I won’t go enjoy myself.
Daughter of Fortune: But our enemies are mighty cultivators, the Heavenly Dao, and immortals from the heavens.
Pei Ji: One day, even the immortals and Buddhas of the myriad heavens will bow before you.
Husband, I want to become a god.
Pei Ji: If a god stands in your way, I’ll kill him.
Husband, I want to become an immortal.
Pei Ji: I’ll clear the path to immortality for you.
Immortal: A mortal from the lower realm thinks he can become an immortal? How ridiculous.
Pei Ji: Heh. If she says she wants to become an immortal, then she will. (The immortal falls.)
Husband, our enemy is the king of the immortals.
Pei Ji: Don’t worry, my love. I’ll set a deadly trap for him.
