After the Immortal Sect's Prodigies Lost Their White Moonlight Substitute

Yun Lian, an outer disciple of Taixu Yuchen, is a cultivation washout with a five-element spiritual root. One day, he happens to pick up something that claims to be a System.

The System says that all the prodigies of the immortal sects have a beloved they can never have, a white moonlight they obsess over day and night. Their longing leads them to fall for people who resemble that beloved.

When the beloved returns, the substitute becomes a stain on their lives and gets abandoned.

The System says someone has to free them from their obsession and save them, even at the cost of self-sacrifice.

Yun Lian: “...” This thing is downright wicked!

But the System is offering far too much, so Yun Lian has no choice but to agree.

He becomes the hardworking junior disciple of a refined, gentle senior brother, the sole personal disciple of the number-one Immortal Venerable in the Nine Provinces, and awakens an ancient great demon. There's also a pure, aloof holy son, a demon who kills without batting an eye...

At last, the powerful figures from every corner let go of their obsessions, and Yun Lian follows the System's plan to die a tragic death.

But everyone starts acting strangely. They fight like mad to seize his remnant soul, exhausting every rare treasure in the world to rebuild his body, all in the hope of giving him one chance at life...

The System is basically a cheat, and the shou will grow stronger and stronger.
