Lin Yan, a corporate slave, stayed up all night writing a novel, only to find himself transmigrated into the body of a down-on-his-luck scholar in the eighth year of the Zhenguan era. The tattered copy of "Collection of Online Novels" in his pocket turned out to be a cultivation manual. It contained incantations for guiding qi into the body, romantic scenes for practicing object manipulation, and a constant stream of hilarious mishmash techniques. He initially just wanted to rely on the manual to live a life of leisure, avoiding overtime and clients.
Who would have thought that a levitating sugar figurine made from his bare hands on the streets of Chang'an would attract the attention of the mischievous Princess Gaoyang, and even earn the favor of the gentle Princess Changle? The palace became his training ground for disastrous failures: burning spiritual energy to make roasted meat, accidentally hitting ministers with his objects—no battles between immortals and demons, just chaotic daily life. Lin Yan, while cultivating through these disastrous failures, also flirted with princesses and helped the common people, rising from a down-on-his-luck scholar to become Chang'an's number one immortal master, ultimately finding simple happiness with his beloved amidst the fireworks of the Zhenguan era.
