Chen Ming, an idle playboy with no useful skills, is transported to an ancient world without internet or money after a car accident. In this world, demons, monsters, and immortals coexist, and danger lurks everywhere. Because he has such delicate, tender skin, a monster snatches him up as a little snack.
At the critical moment, an immortal in flowing white robes descends from the heavens and rescues Chen Ming from the monsters' lair.
To stay alive, Chen Ming clings to the immortal's leg. Only after the immortal takes him back to the mountain does Chen Ming learn that his savior is Wen Xuan, the revered master and sect leader of the Qingsong Sect.
Wen Xuan brings Chen Ming into the immortal sect, but Chen Ming simply isn't cut out for cultivation. Even with Wen Xuan personally instructing him, he can't be bothered to learn properly. To dodge his master's punishments, Chen Ming falls back on his old tricks: sweet talk and flattery.
But Wen Xuan is cold and unyielding, and won't be swayed by either threats or entreaties. To keep Chen Ming from cutting corners and avoiding punishment, he specifically assigns senior disciple Liu Ruoxin to supervise him.
Having charmed countless men, Chen Ming can tell at a glance that his gentle, upright senior brother will be easy to win over. He promptly gives up on his stubborn master and turns to acting cute, pouting, and spinning one tall tale after another for his senior brother.
Sure enough, his senior brother falls for it. He not only helps Chen Ming deceive their master, but even completes Chen Ming's punishment tasks for him.
Chen Ming and his senior brother grow closer and closer, and everyone notices. One day, word reaches their master, who summons Chen Ming to his room alone.
Thinking his attempts to dodge punishment have been exposed, Chen Ming steels himself and bluntly admits he has no immortal roots. His master should send him down the mountain as soon as possible.
The stern-faced master stares at him with bloodshot eyes. "You want to run?"
Chen Ming: "?"
If he doesn't run, is he supposed to wait around until he's punished to death?
Master: "You once said that the moment you saw me, your heart filled with joy, and you wanted to share a bed with me. Do you still mean it?"
Chen Ming is horrified. How can his petty master take even a joke seriously?! He shuts his eyes and, ready to face death, says, "Your disciple was young and foolish, and said something reckless. Master, punish me however you like."
A soft touch brushes his lips, and Chen Ming hears his master's trembling voice: "My punishment is that you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Chen Ming is forced to keep his promise and spends three days and three nights in bed with his master. On the fourth day, he tries to run, only to discover that a magical restriction has been placed around the room. He can't even get out the door, let alone go down the mountain.
Only then does he realize his master wasn't just talking.
A teasing, flirtatious, clingy disciple who charms everyone a little, but not by much, and is the pursuer × a cold, protective master who treats only the pursuer differently, with a possessive streak hidden beneath his two-faced exterior, and is the one pursued
