Others transmigrate into the world of immortal cultivation with either extraordinary talent or noble bloodlines. Lin Xiao, however, inherits nothing but a dilapidated courtyard and the soul of a lazy couch potato who wants to lie around until the end of time.
But the outrageous scandals of the cultivation world have never followed the rules. Lin Xiao only wanted to sit back and watch, yet he is forced to witness the top disciple, hailed as the "Light of the Righteous Path," secretly meeting the demon clan's Holy Maiden beneath the moon. The next day, a bizarre murder case lands right on his doorstep.
To prove his innocence, this reluctant couch potato has no choice but to take up the banner of deduction. From then on, the cultivation world's style takes a sudden turn:
When a fairy dies, he examines the scene: "A crime of passion, committed by someone she knew. I recommend looking into who she had a romantic dispute with recently."
When treasure hunters clash in a secret realm, he analyzes the traces: "A high-level setup disguised as an accident. The killer must be at least at the Golden Core stage and versed in the third chapter of the Five Elements Escape Art."
When the demon clan invades, he flips through the case files: "A classic case of internal conflict being turned outward. I suspect someone's been whispering in the Grand Elder of your sect's ear."
As he investigates, his cool and aloof senior sister offers him a partnership contract, the demon clan's Holy Maiden tries to take him by force, and a dashing sword cultivator vows to protect him... Lin Xiao clutches his head, wanting only to run away. "Wait, all I wanted at first was to quietly sunbathe!"
Then one day, he personally uncovers a century-old bloodbath and discovers that every clue points to his own long-forgotten origins...
This is the "unreliable" tale of a man who solves cases to scrape by in the cultivation world, accidentally becomes a revered big shot, and, along the way, throws the entire immortal realm into turmoil with its tangled love and hate.
