You Yunye was the greatest cultivator in the cultivation world, as well as the key figure who helped the cultivation world adapt to modern times as spiritual energy grew ever thinner. One day, however, he ran into a spatial-time rift while out for a stroll and died.
When he woke again, he had been reborn in the body of a high school student taking the college entrance exam. Just as he was about to hand in a blank paper, he spotted a small-print bonus question at the end: "Discuss how the cultivation world should respond to and handle the gradual decline of spiritual energy."
You Yunye perked up. "Now this is something I know!"
He promptly wrote a sprawling essay of ten thousand words, becoming the first student with five spiritual roots ever admitted to a cultivation university as an exceptional talent, and stunning everyone.
After entering university, You Yunye discovered that everything he had said in his previous life had become classic wisdom. People read his words over and over every day, and everywhere he looked were golden, bold, oversized "Supreme Quotes." Everyone at the cultivation university, young and old, was his devoted fan.
You Yunye: ...

One day, as usual, You Yunye was strolling beside the artificial pond to help his food settle when he heard two people debating the profound meaning of the words Immortal Lord Qingyue had once said: "Once you catch a demon beast, cook it promptly." One said it was to prevent spiritual energy from dissipating; the other said it was to keep demon blood from contaminating things.
They argued until they were red in the face, neither able to convince the other, and looked ready to fall into the pond together. He hurriedly grabbed them both.
You Yunye, aka Immortal Lord Qingyue: Is it possible he just said to cook demon beasts promptly because they taste better when fresh?
The two immediately united against him, utterly disdainful. "Do you understand Immortal Lord Qingyue better than we do, or do we understand him better?"
You Yunye: ...

Every day at the cultivation university, You Yunye was so mortified he could have dug out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes. Fortunately, he finally found the one and only person who wasn't a fan of his: his roommate, Si Chaozhu.
And this one-of-a-kind Si Chaozhu devoted himself to the classics and to slaying demons, striving to improve himself and become the cultivation world's model of icy professionalism. He couldn't care less about You Yunye, a proper "good bamboo."
You Yunye: This one is quite pleased.
But after his secret identity was exposed, the entire cultivation world started looking for him. He decisively went to Si Chaozhu to lie low, only for the other man to pull him close. Soft lips brushed his skin, seemingly by accident, while his cold eyes shimmered with desire.
"Would Immortal Lord consider becoming my cultivation partner?"
