The Retired Life of a Shadow Guard

In this vast world, everyone has their desires, and each pursues their own ambitions of longevity and power. The emperor values the realm, the nobles crave merit, and the heroes are driven by grand aspirations.

Long ago, the Tongtian Xuan Sect saved the world from peril three times and reached the height of its power. But the world changes, and fate is uncertain. In the end, the sect fell into decline. Yet the human heart is hard to fathom, and rumors say that ordinary people can unravel the elusive mysteries of destiny.

Forty years ago, Tang Yanqi, a disciple of the Xuan Sect, was forced to jump into a river and end her life, vanishing into the vast waters along with two mysterious treasures.

Until they appeared once more.

Ten years ago, the Yu family was slaughtered over the Zhou Tian Geomancy Chart. Now, ten years later, rumors say that the equally renowned Life-Creating Manual has resurfaced...

Oh, right. None of the above has anything to do with the protagonist. He's just an ordinary retired (resigned) shadow guard.

Bu Qingyao, an attack who seems rather serious but is actually quite childish, x Yang Kai, a calm retired shadow guard with hidden talent, as the receive.

Younger seme, six-year age gap in biological age, ten-year age gap in career experience. Not a typical wuxia story.

Theme: Understanding and equality are the foundation of love. Only by moving forward together can we overcome every challenge.
