Programmer Shen Mingyuan worked overtime until early in the morning and was pulled into a "cultivationist mutual aid group" and inexplicably became the group leader. He thought this was a chuunibyou cosplay group, so he casually used his "group leader authority" to kick a guy who was swearing - but the guy was really struck into pieces by lightning.
What's even more outrageous is that Shen Mingyuan found that he had awakened the ability to read minds: he could hear the true thoughts of his friends.
The cold-blooded sword cultivator in the group was thinking to himself: "Did my daughter pass the exam today? Urgent!"
The Buddhist milk tea shop owner was cursing in his mind: "Someone is plagiarizing my recipe again, I must deal with him!"
The salty old man who posts health links all day long is thinking in his heart: "The last group leader was eaten by the system. How long can this guy last?"
Shen Mingyuan looked calm on the surface: "Fellow Taoists, I am just an ordinary group leader."
Inwardly: "Help! These people are all real monks! And that old man said that I will be swallowed up by the system?! How should I run away?!"
Mind-reading allowed him to see everyone's true intentions, and also allowed him to predict countless dangers in advance. But the price is - the more voices he hears, the faster his memory disappears. When he forgets who he is, he becomes part of the system.
Shen Mingyuan must use mind-reading skills and the group leader system in this dangerous world of cultivation to pretend to be a boss and save his life while finding a way to break his fate. And all he can rely on is a group of "fake fairy friends" whom he exchanged his sincerity for.
