Synopsis

The rating has just been posted and is expected to rise later.

Transmigration + martial arts + immortality + multiple heroines + behind-the-scenes scheming + decisive and ruthless

Slow-burn early on, explosive payoff in the middle and later parts

Li Xuan woke up to find he had transmigrated to another world where martial arts reigned supreme, becoming an ordinary thirty-year-old martial artist. He thought he could finally make his mark, but his mediocre aptitude left him working as a servant at a martial arts school for thirty years. Now he was on the verge of dying of old age in bed.

On the night of his sixtieth birthday, a bolt of lightning struck an ancient tree at the school, finally awakening the fate that had lain dormant within him for thirty years: [Forever in Your Prime]!

Though he looked old, his sinews and bones could be tempered and strengthened through cultivation. Though his vitality had waned, he could turn back time and regain his youth. From then on, the “Old Servant Li” whom everyone looked down on began a legend that would make the entire martial world tremble.

When his enemies came knocking, he slowly looked up, leaning on his broom. “Young man, do you know what it means to be old and still going strong?”

Overpowered Stories with Multiple Female Leads, but Not Too Harem-Like, No Miserable Plotlines, and a Slice-of-Life Focus

I want something like Detective Conan: When Toji Fushiguro Transmigrates into the World of Detective Stories. It can be fanfiction, a crossover, or any genre, but don’t force romance just for the sake of it. Ideally, the romantic development should be gradual and logical. No walking incubus, please. Fellow readers, your recommendations are welcome.

Male-Oriented Stories with Multiple Heroines, but Not Too Many

I’m looking for male-oriented stories with a well-written romance. Fantasy, urban cultivation, anything is fine. I hope there aren’t too many heroines, two or three is enough. In some harem stories, the heroine only exists to increase the size of the hero’s harem. She’s just a useless, pretty prop.
