After cultivating for ten thousand years and becoming invincible, Immortal Venerable Xuanyuan got stuck at the final trial of the inner demon.
With a gritted-teeth decision, he sealed his memories and cultivation, then descended into the city, where he became Lin Yuan, a corporate drone working grueling 996 hours.
He thought life would mean revising drafts, working overtime, and cramming onto the subway. Until...
The commercial artwork he casually drew was hailed as "naturally imbued with Daoist resonance." His morning tai chi summoned purple auspicious clouds from the east. He joked that a thunderstorm sounded just like a heavenly tribulation... and the client actually got struck by lightning?
Reclusive masters asked him to appraise treasures, a cool and beautiful CEO asked him to read the feng shui, and a former beauty from the immortal realm came at him with a sword, demanding to know why he had sunk into the mortal world.
Lin Yuan looked at the porridge he'd made for the doctor next door and fell into thought.
Then, when demons tore open the night sky, he instinctively stepped in front of the girl who was always bringing him warmth.
The next moment,
the Immortal Venerable returned, and every evil spirit fled.
