In the contemporary Chinese scientific research system, there is an ancient "spiritual research community" hidden - all scientific researchers are actually "spiritual research monks". Their papers, projects, citations, impact factors, fund books and other behaviors will be transformed into real "academic spiritual power". But the vast majority of people are unaware of it, and only a handful of people have awakened their talent for "scientific research and cultivation of immortality".
The protagonist Lin Xiaoman, 28 years old, was an assistant professor in a certain 985 university who was promoted or left. He was on the verge of sudden death after staying up late continuously to revise the 37th edition of the fund book. He accidentally awakened the spiritual root of "ruined enlightenment" and embarked on an alternative path of cultivating immortality by using Buddhism to fight involution and using humor to resolve academic anxiety.
