To escape a torrential downpour, the crew of a nationally popular slow-paced variety show stumbled into a mysterious traditional Chinese manor deep in the mountains, one that was missing from every map.
The manor’s owner, Shen Qingzhou, had an otherworldly air about him. He was leisurely sipping tea in the courtyard.
At first, the entire internet assumed he was just an ordinary rich heir who preferred seclusion.
That was until a top-tier star found the unfinished manuscript of a hit web novel in his study, abandoned for ten years;
The nation’s best-loved movie emperor discovered that the thing propping up a table was actually the outline of a science-fiction masterpiece that had won the Nebula Award;
And a hugely popular singer nearly broke down when he saw that the platinum single he had long coveted was casually written on a takeout order by Shen Qingzhou!
As the whole internet erupted, Shen Qingzhou sighed. “I’ve lived too long. Every now and then, I get bored and earn a little spending money.”
Yet that was just the tip of the iceberg.
When a nationally renowned antiquities expert joined the livestream and saw the seal Shen Qingzhou used to crack walnuts, he dropped to his knees on the spot!
“The Imperial Jade Seal?! And that painting... the inscription says it was given to Brother Qingzhou by Wang Xizhi?!”
At that moment, the whole world was stunned!
It turned out he had once advised an emperor of the ages and shared wine beneath the moon with the Poet Immortal.
He wasn’t descended from some illustrious family. Shen Qingzhou himself was a living thousand-year-old clan!
The wealthiest people in the country chartered private jets overnight just for a chance to meet their revered ancestor. Even top-tier stars were perfectly happy to chop wood and tend horses here.
Shen Qingzhou was at a loss. “I just want a quiet vacation. Why is the whole world coming to find me?”
