Lin Chuan, a burned-out office drone, is unlucky enough to transmigrate into a cultivation power fantasy as a cannon-fodder villain. In the original story, the chosen protagonist will crush him to death in just three days.
To stay alive, he puts his workplace survival skills to the ultimate test: avoid conflict, shower everyone with flattery, and pretend to be sick every day. His dream is to be an invisible, lazy nobody.
But his “cautious” actions are wildly misinterpreted by the entire sect
The poison pill he casually tosses aside becomes an ancient divine artifact. The route map he drew to slack off is revered as a secret manual to a hidden realm. Even his fake stomachache is mistaken for a sudden enlightenment on the Great Dao.
From then on, he is forced to sit atop the pedestal of a “reclusive master,” living on the edge every day: trying to manage the world's frenzied worship while screaming inside, “I just want to go home!”
