Transmigrated as Long Aotian, I thought I’d be invincible from the start, but I can only use my old survival-at-all-costs tricks and play the lackey
Synopsis: The male lead, Xie Yifan, was a computer science genius who had spent three years of his master's degree working himself to the bone, thinking he would finally soar to success. But the job market was terrible, and he graduated straight into unemployment. In a fit of anger, he decided to start his own business and become a tycoon, creating jobs for a million new graduates. "If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, Xie Yifan, the business world would have languished in darkness forever! Hahahahahaha! Hehehehehe!" To that end, he spent five years quietly building up his business, finally seizing an opportunity and earning his first pot of gold. He enjoyed his success for just one day. While out drinking with Liu Ruyan, an assistant at a business partner's company, he kicked the bucket. Even he didn't know whether he had died from overwork after three years of working around the clock for his master's degree and another five years of all-nighters, or whether Liu Ruyan had set him up.
When Xie Yifan woke up, he discovered that he had transmigrated as a man named Long Aotian. He was even a cultivator, currently testing the spiritual roots of mortals with his senior sister so their sect could recruit disciples.
"Long Aotian"? Hahahaha! After thinking it over, Xie Yifan couldn't help bursting into laughter. Wasn't this the name of the protagonist of a cultivation novel? In this life, he would trample the entire cultivation world beneath his feet!
But when he returned to the sect, he discovered that he wasn't the sect's chosen prodigy or a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius, as he'd imagined. He had a fake spiritual root with all five elements, making him the worst of the worst: a menial disciple. The sect wouldn't have taken him in if his senior sister hadn't been captivated by his stunning looks and tall, imposing figure.
Villain: "Your name is Long Aotian? Why does just hearing it make me want to beat you up?"
Xie Yifan: "..."
Golden finger: Want to sing? Get rich. Want to pee? Get struck by disaster.
Okay, okay, okay, okay
