Two male leads, pairing undecided, multiple love interests.
After living like a hermit for thousands of years, the nine-tailed fox Bai Jue unexpectedly ascends, only to discover with astonishment that he has not reached the Celestial Realm, which cut off contact with the mortal world long ago, but a universe occupied by “insect demons.”
Unable to find fellow cultivators or his clan sisters who ascended long ago, and with no way back to the mortal world, Bai Jue decides to make the best of things and continue his retirement somewhere else.
Fortunately, there are plenty of places here with spiritual energy. It’s thin, but still far better than the very, very, very, very late Dharma-ending era after the founding of the nation, when spirits were forbidden from cultivating. He can lie around in even greater comfort.
This world has no concept of demon immortals. After ascending and being nearly killed by the Heavenly Dao's tribulation lightning, Bai Jue is mistaken for a male insect by a female soldier, who casually takes him home from a garbage planet.
Watching the karmic thread he had finally managed to clear away reconnect to him, this time as a deadly karmic bond, Bai Jue sighs. He can only keep lazing around while sending his deadly benefactor a text every day to ask if he needs help: How was your day?
Unfortunately, the cold and aloof general loathes male insects who are lazy, idle, flirt with female insects without taking responsibility, and are utterly useless… New to this place and unable to speak the language, Bai Jue accidentally checks every box.
After learning the whole story behind their karmic bond, Bai Jue fails to improve the general's opinion of him, even with his irresistible little face.
The old fox spirit, who has lived for who knows how long, sighs and can only observe from the shadows as he repays his debt.
At last, when the chance comes, Bai Jue saves an insect's life and severs their karmic bond by smashing the last fragment of the Kunlun Mirror and reversing time…
Given another chance, he’ll shake off every karmic bond and lie even flatter!
