Su Qi spent ten years living in a Taoist temple, while seventy-seven years passed at the foot of the mountain.
On his first day down the mountain, he used a Republic-era land deed to buy milk tea and was mistaken for a cosplay influencer.
When he found the old Su family mansion, security stopped him at the gate.
But his eighty-three-year-old younger brother burst into tears. “Brother! I've waited eighty years for you!”
The younger generation of the Su family stared at the “twenty-year-old” young Taoist, exchanging bewildered glances.
“Grandpa, is he really your older brother?”
“Grandpa, are you sure you haven't mistaken him for someone else?”
Only his granddaughter, Su Wanwan, lit up. She quietly started a livestream. “Guys, you have to see this. My grandpa's older brother is even hotter than a top-tier star!”
From then on, the Su family had a new ancestor.
A talisman he casually drew sold for tens of millions.
Tea he brewed helped a paralyzed old man stand again.
More than a hundred million people across the internet followed the health exercises he taught.
Looking at this world, at once unfamiliar and familiar, Su Qi wanted only to fulfill his master's dying wish: temper his heart in the mortal world and break through to the innate realm.
But he had no idea that the entire internet was digging into his secret identity.
“Who is this young Taoist, really?!”
“Did the Su Group suddenly enter the world of metaphysics because of him?”
“Breaking news! A certain top-tier star went to the Su family late at night and knelt for three hours just to beg him for a talisman!”
Meanwhile, the comments in Su Wanwan's livestream had gone wild.
“Wanwan! Ask your great-uncle if he's looking for a cultivation partner!”
“Wait, why do I feel like... he looks just like the husband in my dreams?!”
“If I could marry him, I'd be willing to drive a luxury car and live in a mansion!!”
Hey😑 It's just average!
When I came down the mountain as a monk, I worked as a nanny.
