Ji Ran was the sect's notorious Five-Element Spiritual Root failure, someone anyone could push around at will.
One day, his usually cold and distant senior brother stood in front of him. Though they were both at Foundation Establishment, he took the brunt of Ji Ran's tribulation lightning without hesitation, nearly losing his life.
The strongest qin immortal in the cultivation world personally came to Ji Ran's sect to take him as his sole direct disciple. He stumbled on arrival, unable even to hold his qin steady.
And that wasn't all. After a thousand years of war with the human realm, the demon realm voluntarily sent a truce proposal with just one condition: the Demon Lord must marry an ordinary cultivator named Ji Ran.
The entire cultivation world was in an uproar. Countless people wondered what was so special about this male cultivator named Ji Ran.
Little did they know the strangest part was yet to come.
The usually genial and easygoing leader of the Kongsang Sect tore the truce letter to shreds, tears streaming down his face. He practically roared from the depths of his throat: "Impossible! Tell him to get lost!"

Reborn for a second life, Ji Ran has learned to take things as they come. All he wants is to be a lazy fish, eating and sleeping, and never putting up with any mistreatment.
There's just one problem: it seems all his old acquaintances have been reborn too.
One after another, they shower compensation on the "clueless" Ji Ran, even wanting to pluck the stars from the sky and place them in his hands.
Not having to work hard is truly wonderful. To the envy of all the onlookers, Ji Ran lounges in comfort all the way from Foundation Establishment to ascension.
What? You say the Demon Lord Xie Wan has been reborn too?
Sorry, I barely know him. :D

Xie Wan has wealth, power, looks, and talent. The only thing he lacks is basic empathy: in the five elements of virtue, he's missing all five.
He's suspicious and conceited, and can't understand any kind of close relationship. The only person in the world who can put up with his awful temper is Ji Ran.
Later... Ji Ran jumped from the Immortal-Slaying Platform, nine thousand zhang high, right in front of everyone.
Later still, the Demon Lord went mad.
No one had ever seen Xie Wan like this. He howled until his voice was hoarse, clenching his fists so hard that bone showed, begging only for that person to stand before him again, even if it was just to glance at him.
