[Working title]
Three hundred years ago, you could call Nie Yixing a sucker who could barely reach Foundation Establishment by relying on rare treasures of heaven and earth.
Three hundred years later, the sucker says, "Go on, say that one more time."
Nie Yixing cultivates for only one reason.
Rumor has it that a treasure in the Junshan Secret Realm can turn back time. He wants to return to three hundred years ago and erase all the stupid things he did.
Nie Yixing succeeds, but...
Why did no one tell him that even if he went back three hundred years, he still wouldn't be able to stop that sucker from doing stupid things?
Time has indeed turned back, but Nie Yixing now has to face his past self at every turn.
A walking embarrassment, Nie Shuangxiu, is currently hated by everyone and their dog, and is being strung along by the person he loves.
Whenever things get out of hand, Nie Shuangxiu puts on a shameless smile. "It's better to rely on yourself than others. Immortal, hurry up and help me!"
Nie Yixing: "..."
I really want to run him through with a sword.
Fortunately, after all his efforts, Nie Shuangxiu finally sets out on the same path of cultivation that Nie Yixing once took.
Even rotten wood can be carved, and no one understands Nie Yixing's future better than Nie Yixing himself.
He crushes the treasure and returns to the present, three hundred years later.
As soon as he wakes, he hears someone say, "Master, someone outside claims to be your cultivation partner!"
Nie Yixing: "Absurd. Did you throw him out?"
"Not exactly. He looks exactly like you, Master, so he must be your son!"
Nie Yixing: "...?"
Nie Shuangxiu: "I said we were cultivation partners, but they wouldn't believe me no matter what, so I had to say I was your illegitimate son."
Seeing the two of them inseparable around the sect, and watching Nie Shuangxiu get away with everything, the sect members can't help but say that the father and son are indeed deeply attached.
But they don't know that at night...
Nie Shuangxiu pins him beneath himself and says, blushing, "Immortal, please help me again."
