At the Xuantian Sect, an inspector from the Celestial Realm charged with monitoring public personas arrives for a surprise inspection! Immortal Venerable Mo Wuyuan’s official persona is “aloof, celibate, and above worldly concerns,” but in private he’s a veteran glutton who’ll fight over snacks. Senior Brother Gu Qingfeng is known as “gentle, refined, and doting on his junior brothers,” but in truth he’s a sharp-tongued young man who loves making fun of his junior brothers and sisters. Second Senior Sister Bai Lili is labeled “a cold beauty, devoted to cultivation,” but in private she’s a passionate fan who follows her idols all the way to the Celestial Realm. And Lin Xiaobai, who transmigrated here, has the newcomer label “diligent, studious, and exceptionally talented,” but in reality, she’s just a lazy fish who wants to lie flat.
With a persona-collapse crisis looming, everyone is forced to play along to protect the sect’s rating and their immortal status. Mo Wuyuan hides his stash of snacks, Gu Qingfeng puts away his notebook of snarky comments, Bai Lili destroys her fan posters, and Lin Xiaobai is made to cultivate day and night. But the harder they try to act, the more they mess up. In front of the inspector, Mo Wuyuan’s gluttony gives him away, Gu Qingfeng can’t stop himself from making sarcastic remarks, Bai Lili blurts out her fan code words, and even lazy Lin Xiaobai accidentally reveals the truth about slacking off.
A hilarious battle to protect their public personas officially begins. As they struggle between “being themselves” and “playing their assigned roles,” the master-disciple duo’s goofy everyday life and the senior brothers’ and sisters’ contrasting charms take turns on display. It turns out that being your truest self is the rarest virtue in the Celestial Realm.
