While making a delivery, Lin Ye, a socially anxious rider who usually tries to avoid trouble and blend into the background, catches an evil cultivator refining Yin Puppets in an urban village. As he teeters on the brink of death, he awakens the memories of the immortal soul of the “Myriad Arts Wandering Immortal.” This immortal once rebelled against the immortal realm’s rule that “immortals alone are supreme,” fleeing to the mortal world. His memories contain unconventional immortal arts suited to city life, such as turning a delivery bag into a magical weapon and a phone into a spiritual energy detector. Lin Ye uses these arts to save his co-renting roommates from a puppet attack. A murder case involving evil cultivators then brings him together with Su Wan, a forensic intern who can sense spiritual energy. The three conceal their identities as they work ordinary jobs in the city, while taking down evil cultivator gangs and exposing a cultivation organization disguised as a tech company. In the end, they face the “Immortal Tribulation Envoys” sent from the immortal realm, using the Wandering Immortal’s “mortal-friendly immortal arts” to preserve the warmth of everyday city life and maintain the balance between immortals and mortals
