Three years after joining the Azure Cloud Sect, Lin Yue firmly believes he is a diligent, grounded disciple steadily growing stronger on the path of cultivation.
A warm current accompanies his sleep, his sword practice feels just right, he always escapes danger during training, and he narrowly wins every small competition.
He thinks hard work is being rewarded by Heaven, unaware that the entire sect is putting on an act just for him.
He has an Absolute Spirit Constitution. He cannot draw in spiritual energy or practice techniques, and the moment spiritual energy touches him, his meridians shatter.
The sect leader burns through his lifespan, the elders play nanny, and his fellow disciples act as extras. Everyone in the sect works tirelessly to let him live in peace.
When the layers of disguise are torn away, Lin Yue finally realizes:
His path of cultivation was a deception, built on the acting and lives of the entire sect.
When the deception ends, he is no longer the weakling being protected.
Even a mortal body can command the path to immortality; after a play-acted tale comes true, they finally find true love and stay by each other's side.
