Ye Wudao, the Immortal Emperor and supreme ruler of the Immortal Realm, failed to survive the tribulation of the Nine Heavens. His soul transmigrated into the modern city, where he became a good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law, abandoned by a wealthy family.
Once an Immortal Emperor, now a good-for-nothing. His mother-in-law looks down on him, his wife is heartless, and everyone mocks him as utterly useless.
Then one day, a talisman he casually drew sold at auction for an astonishing 300 million, shaking the entire city.
His former enemies knelt and begged for forgiveness. The wealthy family that once cast him aside wept as they pleaded for him to return.
His wife, eyes red, asked him, “Who are you, really?”
Ye Wudao stood with his hands behind his back, looking down on all living things. “I am the Immortal Emperor you could never hope to marry into.”
When the gates of the Nine Heavens opened once more and his old nemeses came hunting him from the Immortal Realm, Ye Wudao sneered. “You won last time. This time, I won't even give you a chance to regret it.”
He isn't a good-for-nothing. He's the king, returned.
