Yan Qing: ...No, absolutely not. Newly transmigrated Yan Qing knows nothing about cultivation and can't even read. He's an illiterate in the world of cultivation. Yan Qing: Stay calm. Don't panic. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to cultivate. He can put on a secret identity and use a communication talisman to find himself a master. Then he meets Senior Brother Yun. Senior Brother Yun is kind, knowledgeable, and has a lovely voice. He wonders if he's stunningly handsome in person, too. * Wu Jinyun is reborn, returning to the time when he first met Yan Qing.

Only after his death does Lin Sheng learn that he's a disposable character in a danmei novel, a tool to highlight the second male lead's devotion and charm, a catalyst for the main couple's romance, a target for the protagonist's face-slapping, and a convenient source of experience and resources. Given a second chance, Lin Sheng thinks: Am I not handsome or talented enough? Why waste my time on those people? He swears, "I'm done being a devoted lackey!" He'll cherish his life, stay away from the second male lead and the main cast, avoid his scumbag father and mother, focus on painting, and build a career of his own.
