    Book Recommendation | *3500 Yuan Monthly Salary: I Cultivate Immortality in the Mortal World* This urban cultivation novel is absolutely perfect! It features a single female lead and no harem. The male lead, Chu Fan, earns a meager 3500 yuan a month, diligently cultivating his Qi and Foundation Establishment in his rented apartment. His mind is solely focused on his cultivation journey and protecting the woman beside him, without any messy romantic entanglements. He conceals the dangers of cultivation, endures the scorching pain of tribulations, and would rather bear all the pursuit and investigation himself than let Su Qingxia be involved in any conflict. She, on the other hand, cherishes the simple pleasures of life, warming his weary cultivation path with a bowl of hot porridge and a lamp. Their mutual protection is delicate and touching, without any melodramatic misunderstandings, only unwavering determination to face challenges together. Even more remarkable is the clear division of realms, the rigorous plot without any simplistic twists, and the perfect integration of the cultivation storyline and the mortal romance—a truly refreshing urban cultivation novel!

Time flew by, and eighteen years passed in a flash. Though our days were simple and hard, Lotus warmed my heart. My daughter grew into a beautiful and talented young woman, stunning all others. Lotus and I fell in love and pledged our lives to each other. One day, I encountered a cultivator who said of my unparalleled talent and wanted to take me as a disciple to pass on his teachings. He said that if I attained enlightenment, the world would be astonished. I had no desire for immortality, only to grow old with Lotus. However, my family was poor and my parents were ill, so I had to become their disciple to repay their kindness. I gave them elixirs and miraculous medicines, and they recovered completely. I followed my master to seek immortality. At our parting, we were heartbroken, vowing never to forget each other, and to return together in immortality. Reluctant to part, the fragrant grass seems to understand my heart. Six years have passed since we parted, night after night I think of you, day after day.

Returning home, I collapsed to the ground, my house destroyed, my fields barren, my parents dead, their bones withered. Lotus committed suicide in the mass grave. Only then did I learn the reason, and anger rose within me, a wicked heart ignited. A wealthy man, heartless and lustful, took Lotus into his household. Lotus refused, her beauty ruined, my parents heartbroken, losing their lives. Lotus cried out to heaven, but received no answer, and followed him to the underworld.
