Lu Youwei, a project manager at a major tech company, dies suddenly from overwork and wakes up as the lowest-ranking menial servant in the Tai Xuan Sect. The sect's selection process is rigged from the start. Reforms change the procedures but provide no resources, credit is siphoned upward through the ranks, and responsibility is pushed down. The worst part is that here, authority, responsibility, merit, and reputation are all recorded by the Heavenly Dao: claim credit that isn't yours and you'll be struck by lightning, while even spoken orders leave behind karmic consequences. To stay alive, and to stop the menial servants around him from working themselves to death under a chorus of "approved in principle," Lu Youwei leads a crew of hard workers to survey spirit veins, organize the beast pens, and repair the grand formation. Amid a mountain of rotten accounts, he builds a Great Dao of authority and responsibility. The higher-ups only want him to take the blame, but step by step, he turns the Tai Xuan Sect, on the verge of collapse, into the foremost immortal sect in all three realms, one no one can afford to ignore.
