   Recommendation 🦆 ① A typical "couch potato" character. He doesn't possess any overpowered abilities, nor does he have any deep-seated grudges to avenge. He simply navigates the cultivation world cautiously. Adhering to the principle of "survival first, safety foremost," he sleeps while his senior brothers cultivate and slacks off during fellow disciples' trials. Day after day, year after year, he quietly lives the life of a couch potato in the sect. However, he is not without strength; he simply chooses to keep a low profile. This unique personality and way of dealing with the world allows him to forge a distinctive path in the cultivation world.
