Lin Mo, a 996 office drone, is attacked, and his family heirloom jade pendant bursts with green light, awakening the Hidden Dragon Art! His stomach ailment is cured, his senses become superhuman, and he transforms from a programmer driven mad by endless demands into a cultivator who slays vengeful spirits and gambles on jade! His haughty junior sister, Chu Yao, complains that “rogue cultivators are a liability,” but trusts him with her back in a fight. His unrequited love, Su Qingxue, goes from being someone who only likes his posts to joining him in developing AI-powered healthcare. When they take on the Shadow Alliance’s sinister spirits and dimensional rifts spewing out the claws of monsters, Lin Mo says, “I can write code, and I can rule the city too!”
