Shen An transmigrates to the Great Zhou and becomes a down-and-out scholar raising an adorable three-year-old girl.
He plans to coast through life with the help of his System and raise his daughter, Shen Nian'an, nicknamed A'nan. But the girl is not only sweet and well-behaved: she also carries a Pure Yang physique that can feed a spirit sparrow until it turns into a “golden bean.” Before long, reclusive sects, martial arts world demons, and literary giants are all setting their sights on her.
To give his daughter a safe and stable childhood, Shen An is forced to get to work:
He casually recites a poem and leaves the literary world in shock, including a venerable Hanlin scholar;
He picks someone up off the roadside, only for the man to turn out to be Moyuan, a traitor to the Demon Cult with immense cultivation and a built-in “knight protector” trait;
On a trip, he meets a blind old beggar who can smell the “sunshine” on his daughter. The words “wandering through the mortal world” open his eyes.
From then on, the martial arts world of the Great Zhou gains a curious sight:
A lazy scholar holding an adorable little girl, a small blue-cloth cart creaking along, a spirit sparrow golden from head to toe, and... a black-clad shadow ten zhang away, terrifying enough to make people flee at the mere mention of him, yet willing only to pick wild fruit for the little girl.
Shen An: “Leave me alone. I'm just raising my daughter in the mortal world. But my poems can astonish the clouds, my daughter is a heavenly treasure, and my bodyguard can take on the entire Demon Cult.”
A'nan: “Daddy, I want the reddest candied hawthorn! And that uncle in black brought me another star today. It was a meteorite from beyond the heavens...”
