When 996 programmer Cheng Xu transmigrated back to the cultivation world, Immortal Zun Luoyan had just emerged from seclusion.
This Immortal Zun was not only the Grand Elder of Xuangguang Sect, but also an idol throughout the entire cultivation world. Every disciple in the sect dreamed of becoming his apprentice, rising to the top and cutting a swath through their enemies.
Only Cheng Xu wiped away his tears. "In my dream, I became his apprentice and got watched while I practiced every day. I worked 24/7 for hundreds of years. It was terrifying."
He didn't want to stand out. He only wanted a leisurely life in the countryside, so he developed a new feature in his body:
If anyone set their sights on him, it would automatically sound an alarm.
The day after he activated it, a notification chimed: [Immortal Zun is watching you]
On the third day: [Immortal Zun is watching you] +5
On the Nth day: [Immortal Zun is watching you] +10000
Cheng Xu: ...
I can't take this. I might as well leave the sect.
Cheng Xu represents the sect at the Myriad Arts Assembly.
In the audience, a beautiful woman in red parts the gauzy curtain and smiles at him. Her eyes sparkle, leaving everyone mesmerized.
Everyone: That's the peerless beauty Immortal Maiden Wuyan, whose musical skills are unrivaled. So many people in the cultivation world dream of becoming her lover, yet they can't even get a glance from her. You, brat...
System notification: [Iris scan successful. Immortal Zun is watching you!]
Cheng Xu: ???
Cheng Xu goes on a business trip to promote the sect's magical artifacts.
In the middle of a busy day, a blood mist suddenly spreads, tinting his vision red. A gale lifts him into the air, and he falls into a broad, strong embrace.
The black-robed Demon Venerable's ears turn slightly red as he reaches out to push Cheng Xu away.
System notification: [Fingerprint scan successful. Immortal Zun is touching you!]
Cheng Xu: !!!
Cheng Xu: How old R U?
Fine, I'll give in. I'll give in, okay?
I'll upgrade the multithreaded automatic cultivation program right now, set up shortcut keys for instant-cast spells, and get the sect's farming scaled up, artifact crafting modularized, pill refining automated, animal husbandry made smart, and workflows moved online.
Just tell me what else you want. I'll do it all.

Reader's note:
1. Yes, I've revised this blurb a lot, but don't worry, it's still the same premise.
2. Yes, the title and blurb don't look very much like an ancient-style romance, but this is a story where I'm letting loose. Changing it this way makes me happy, and the inspiration is flowing.
