After the Saintess Broke Off Our Engagement, I Lay Flat and Became Honghuang's Overlord

The protagonist, Xiao Chen, is a soul from the modern world who transmigrates into the body of a good-for-nothing young master of a cultivation family. From the start, he's publicly jilted by a heaven-blessed prodigy, the holy maiden of the greatest sect, and becomes the laughingstock of the entire continent. At the lowest point in his life, he unexpectedly activates the [Hongmeng All Things Recycling System]. Its sole function is to recycle all the “junk” in the world, from pills ruined by other alchemists and damaged magical treasures to exhausted spiritual veins and even people whose cultivation has failed and driven them mad, turning it into the finest Hongmeng treasures and source cultivation.

From then on, Xiao Chen follows an unconventional path of “scavenging.” While others painstakingly cultivate, he hunts for treasure in junk piles. While others brave danger, he picks through battlefield ruins. On the surface, he maintains the image of a spoiled young master who has decided to lie flat and let himself go, but behind the scenes his cultivation advances by leaps and bounds. Using a modern mindset and all kinds of unconventional tricks, he toys with one hypocritical foe after another and tramples the prodigies who envy him. As the System continues to level up, he can even recycle “broken vows,” “fading obsessions,” and “severed karma,” gaining all kinds of incredible divine abilities. In the end, the good-for-nothing who was once jilted gradually recycles his way to the top, lying flat as he becomes the ruler of the Primordial World, master of all things' creation and destruction. Everyone who once looked down on him can only gaze up at his retreating figure from the dust.
