The Lazy Immortal Ascends

The print edition of The Ascending Salted Fish is now available for preorder. Song Qianji spent his whole life running himself ragged. In the first half of his life, he was an ordinary mortal, scheming desperately for the slightest chance at immortality, only to lose his friends and family and end up alone. In the second half, he became a powerful cultivator and poured his heart and soul into securing a chance for humanity to survive, but he couldn’t overcome fate and died with regrets that would last for ages. Only after he died did he learn that this world had a “Savior” appointed by the heavens, destined to turn the tide and become a great hero. Before the protagonist grows up, side characters aren’t allowed to steal his role. Besides, Song Qianji doesn’t even count as a side character. At best, he’s… a prop. Given another life, he no longer wants to cultivate immortality. He just wants to sleep in, bask in the sun, and watch the clouds and flowers. He wants to live like a happy salted fish, then choose a good spot for his grave when he dies. No one is going to make him get back on his feet. Urge someone to cultivate and their ancestors’ graves will be moved. Urge someone to pursue the Dao and you’ll be cursed to die a thousand deaths. But why do the opportunities he begged for in his previous life now land right in his lap? Why has the former partner he couldn’t forget come back to him, and why does the Savior he could never reach treat him like a brother? Savior: No. I’m the one who doesn’t deserve you. PS: A supporting female character has a one-sided crush on the male lead, but the only thing on his mind is farming! Key point: The protagonist is a salted fish who wins without even trying. He likes farming, but this is NOT a farming novel!!! Updates are irregular. Theme: Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets
