    A Nascent Soul cultivator disguised as a neighborhood security guard finds enlightenment amidst the mundane world – this contrasting setting is incredibly satisfying! Li Qingfeng appears ordinary, but his daily routine of mediating neighborhood disputes and catching thieves is filled with moments of effortless skill, effortlessly breaking formations and defeating enemies with a flick of his finger – a classic example of playing dumb to outwit his opponent. The novel cleverly blends urban life with the undercurrents of cultivation, featuring vivid and lively supporting characters and a layered foreshadowing system. It offers both humorous and relatable daily interactions and a grander scope encompassing the resurgence of spiritual energy and crises in other worlds. The clash between the patriarch's transcendent mindset and ordinary life perfectly embodies the profound wisdom of "great seclusion in the city," making it an irresistible urban cultivation masterpiece.

She married him for three years and was poisoned to death by him and his concubine when she was eighteen. After being reborn, she decides to stay away from him and find a worthy man to entrust her life to. However, the man who poisoned her in her past life kisses her again. The female lead discovers that the Shen family has been used as pawns all along, victims of power struggles. Three people like the female lead: Gu, who falls in love with her at first sight, and the two are betrothed; Han, who falls in love with the female lead mentioned by his brother-in-law, and blesses her (currently); and her husband from her past life, Wang, whose thoughts are incomprehensible, and why he likes the female lead is unknown. Currently, the plot is more focused, with less emphasis on romance.
