"The Remaining Life After Failed to Overcome the Tribulation" is a fairy tale about the genius monk Su Yan, who after failing in the ascension to heaven, falls back to the mortal world and explores the true meaning of Tao through loss and rebirth.
Su Yan, the former immortal genius, faced off against the Thunder Tribulation of the Nine Heavens God in the eyes of everyone, but his success failed due to an unnoticed crack in his Taoist heart and the "betrayal" of his best friend Mo Chen. The sect was razed to the ground, and his confidante Lin Qingwan died in order to protect him. Everyone thought that this proud man of heaven had lost his soul, but with his broken body and broken Taoist heart, he fell into the mortal world and became a "waste" in the eyes of the world.
At the darkest moment of life, a simple boy named A Shi appeared. He did not know the way of immortality, but he had a character as tough as a rock. He carried Su Yan out of the quagmire of despair and gave him the simplest warmth and companionship. In the process of teaching Ah Shi to start a new life in the mortal world, Su Yan's heart that had become cold due to the pursuit of ultimate power began to be warmed up a little bit. He gradually realizes that the "ruthless road" he pursued in the past may not be the only answer to Tao.
However, the thread of fate has already been woven. When Mo Chen, who has become a master of magic, comes again, when clues about Lin Qingwan's reincarnation emerge, when the shocking secret hidden in A Shi is revealed... The past grudges and current choices push Su Yan to the crossroads of destiny again.
This time, there is no spotlight, no Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. What he wants to overcome is a more dangerous "heart disaster". When best friends become old enemies, when old loves become strangers, when pure protection becomes a luxury, what will Su Yan do?
