At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a great calamity struck. The Eight Immortals all "failed to awaken," and the Three Realms teetered on the brink of collapse.
Lu Dongbin, once Donghua Dijun, leader of the Eight Immortals in his previous life, was now just a laid-back scholar who wanted to stay alive and cultivate immortality.
He had a secret: he could see the threads of cause and effect connecting all things.
He had planned to keep his head down until old age, but was horrified to discover that unless he found the other seven immortals and helped them "reclaim their divine stations" within ten years, the Three Realms would be annihilated.
With a ten-year countdown in his left hand, he opened the register of "Problem Immortals" in his right:
An amnesiac shaman, a martial cultivator possessing a beggar, a girl who could only perform Nuo dances, a bookish man riding a paper donkey backward...
His mission was to retrain these "problem children" one by one and turn them back into immortals.
"I just wanted to cultivate in peace. How did I end up as the top HR manager in the Three Realms?"
Today's KPI: Go to Lingnan and bluff the girl wearing a Nuo mask into believing she's He Xiangu.
If she doesn't believe him? Then he'll use the threads of cause and effect to "act" until she does.
When all the Eight Immortals lose their memories, a laid-back man who can see the threads of cause and effect is forced to become the immortals' HR manager, saving the Three Realms through "workplace management." Story Synopsis
