[Not a wish-fulfillment story. Not a wish-fulfillment story. Traditional Taoist arts + no System + a battle of wits]
A hundred years ago, he was the public enemy of the occult world. Under the Seven-Kill Decree to Slay the Gods, the brightest heirs of the great lineages all perished.
A hundred years later, his soul transmigrates into the modern era, only to become the assistant kept by Su Ruanruan, Jiangcheng's most beautiful CEO.
After being reborn, Chen Shiling discovers that modern Taoist arts have fallen into decline. But Su Ruanruan, his wife who should have died long ago, is still alive at over 140 years old, without a single change to her appearance!
To resolve the Su Group's crisis, he uses feng shui to dispel evil and signs a ten-billion-yuan wager, only to suffer the backlash of forbidden arts and lose his sight.
Worse still, the shareholders are forcing their way into power, ghosts swarm the office building at night, and evil cultivators plot against him.
When all hope seems lost, an ordinary old security guard dies a brutal death saving everyone. In a mortal's body, Chen Shiling resolutely signs the Occult Alliance's War Writ:
"On the seventh day of the seventh month, before the Mass Grave, we will settle both victory and defeat, and life and death!"
He walks a blade's edge, just hoping that one day he can reclaim his power and uncover the truth behind the century-old purge,
while desperately keeping his past-life secret identity hidden, terrified that his "wife" will recognize him.
But as he repeatedly reveals that familiar coldness and sharp edge in one desperate situation after another,
Su Ruanruan's gaze shifts from playful curiosity to utter disbelief and shock.
