Luo Chubin is a cripple. ALS has pinned him to a wheelchair. Employers toss his resume back at him, his classmates mock his disabled body in their group chat, and not even his mother’s tears or his brother’s desperate support can stop him from sinking into despair. When he hits rock bottom, an ancient-style xianxia game called The Emperor’s Realm becomes his only escape. The game’s starting character is just like him: a girl with a worthless spiritual root, no spiritual power, and everyone trampling her underfoot. Her name is Wu Zetian.
He doesn’t know that every time he spends money in the game, it becomes the power of the Heavenly Dao above her. And she doesn’t know that the mysterious Heavenly Dao who saves her from one desperate situation after another is an ordinary young man who can’t even lift a finger.
He gives her marrow-cleansing pills, opens her spiritual meridians, and shields her from heavenly tribulations. She helps him stand again. His fingers begin to move; he gets back on his feet and rises from a bug trampled underfoot to a business magnate, slapping back everyone who once humiliated him. She goes from helpless prey to breaking through the immortal path and being crowned Immortal Emperor.
He thinks he’s a player. She has always revered him as the Immortal Venerable.
Misunderstanding and reverence, protection and devotion, grow ever stronger between their two worlds. When danger engulfs both realms, they join forces to break through the crisis and cross the barrier of time and space. At last, they meet.
She ascends to the pinnacle of immortality for him, with all the immortals bowing before her. He turns his life around in the mortal world for her and reigns supreme.
Two cripples abandoned by the world become rulers of both realms. Their mutual salvation, born from the depths of despair, ultimately becomes an imperial saga that shakes the ages.
