Lu Qinglan, a mortal child, was born in an ordinary peasant family with only the most inconspicuous miscellaneous spiritual roots and inferior spiritual patterns. In the world of cultivating immortals where resources are scarce and the strong prey on the weak, he has neither extraordinary adventures nor the favor of noble people. Only relying on his extraordinary mind and extreme caution, he can make his way step by step in the world of mortals.
He is good at calculations and is good at taking advantage of situations. He narrowly survives every life and death crisis and accumulates his slight advantages into a powerful one. The gentle companionship of his childhood sweetheart Lin Qingyao is the only constant starlight on his dark road.
However, an even more treacherous and unpredictable hidden thread has always been entangled - Xie Hongli, the saint of Xuanming Palace, whose resourcefulness rivals him, but whose strength far exceeds him. She has a love-hate relationship with Lu Qinglan, and she repeatedly sets up desperate situations, but shows mercy at critical moments. This twisted obsession and Lu Qinglan's true heart will eventually collide to create a flame that overturns the entire world of immortality.
From being a humble mortal to competing on the immortal road, Lu Qinglan's pursuit has never been to be alone in the Nine Heavens. He just wants to use these mortal hands to protect his loved ones, practice his own way, and walk an immortal path belonging to ordinary people in this ruthless world.
