Overworked office drone Cang Yan transmigrates into a garbage immortal-cultivation game that advertises itself as suitable for all audiences, only for its story to start with an adventure and end with a man-on-man romance. He even turns into a tiny little kid and gets picked up as someone’s disciple.
Cang Yan: I don’t want to cultivate immortality. I want to go home.
He Weiran: Home? Wherever your master is, that’s your home.
But if he really had to go home, Cang Yan wasn’t sure he’d want to return to being an office drone, either.
As the sect leader of the Canglan Sect, He Weiran proves to be an indulgent master who spoils his child without limit. His only disciple can ask for the stars and get them, even if Cang Yan wants to blow up a mountain. He’ll just carefully remind him not to get hit by flying debris, then thoughtfully prepare a big bag of explosive talismans for him to toss around.
And so He Weiran becomes Cang Yan’s ultimate mother hen, supreme demon-king protector, and life mentor, guiding him from a tiny toddler to a fresh-faced young man.
He used to wonder why the game’s story had to include a romance between men. Now he understands.
Cang Yan finally gets hit by the boomerang, too: he ends up in a same-sex romance, and falls in love with his master.
