You Said You Were Practicing Asceticism, So Why Are You Following the Path of Pleasure?

[Anti-Cliché Cultivation + Lighthearted Wish Fulfillment + Emotion-Driven + Face-Slapping + World-Building]

Xie Yishuang transmigrated into a cultivation world where "happiness is poison and laughter is a sin."

The Heavenly Dao preached, "Take suffering as your sustenance, and make solitude your final destination." Cultivators harmed themselves in pursuit of the Dao, and the more bitterly they wept, the stronger they became.

Yet he awakened the [Blissful Dao]: perceive pain, soothe and transform it, and use emotions as fuel to forge the power of bliss!

The leader of the Sorrowwind Sect descended with the Emotion-Quelling Bell: "Heretic, weep, and I'll spare your life!"

Xie Yishuang unleashed a surge of heartflow in return. "Sorry, I mainly cultivate by having a great time."

While others spent a century in bitter cultivation, he built a Blissful Grotto-Heaven, minted heartflow coins, cured every illness, and saved thousands. His cultivation soared while he lounged around.

Until the Heavenly Dao's enforcer arrived, its icy compass fixed on the space between his brows. "Nonstandard entity detected. Initiating erasure."

Xie Yishuang grinned. "Don't rush. First, I'll bring back from the end of time the girl who died for me.

"Then I'll settle the score once and for all with you, this miserable Heavenly Dao."
