[Single Male Lead, No Romance + Transmigration + Psychological Healing; a brisk pace, with three short arcs across the first 40 chapters]
Lin Yu, a senior psychological counselor at a major internet company, died suddenly and transmigrated to a cultivation world, where he became a laborer with no spiritual roots.
He thought he would spend the rest of his life eating, drinking, lying flat, and waiting to die. But heaven opened another window for him: he could see emotion labels floating above people's heads.
And just like that, he was back to the work he knew best.
The atmosphere at the Tianxuan Sect changed overnight:
He helped workaholic Zhang Tieniu overcome his self-doubt and break through a three-year bottleneck.
He taught socially anxious genius Ji Lingyue to imagine the audience as radishes, and she became a fluent speaker.
Rich kid Qian Duo realized his failed alchemy wasn't because he was clumsy, but because of his own father.
Even the Sword Sect's eldest senior brother, a perfectionist on the verge of madness, came to ask him, “Can you see that shadow on my back?”
Before long, members of the demon and monster clans were coming to see him too...
Everyone thought Lin Yu had cultivated some mysterious technique. He only smiled faintly and brewed a pot of tea.
“Take your time. Tell me what's going on. I'm listening.”
(Quietly: I only realized after writing two arcs that cultivation isn't a major part of the story, though cultivation is the setting.)
