Fellow Daoist, Please Keep Quiet

[Main story complete] Chu Jingxi, an overworked 996 office drone at an advertising agency, heard a steady stream of System announcements before he died:

[Congratulations! You have awakened the talent “Negotiation Expert.”]

[You are a master of psychology, naturally gifted with exceptional negotiation skills.]

[Congratulations! You have awakened the talent “PR Consultant.”]

[You can effortlessly maintain a brand’s image.]

[Congratulations! You have awakened the talent “Top Sales Champion.”]

[You’re like the second Wolf of Wall Street, always miles ahead in performance.]

…

Chu Jingxi opened his eyes, thrilled. In the distance, immortals were locked in battle, shattering mountains and dimming the sun and moon.

[Welcome to the cultivation world.]

Chu Jingxi: “???”

What the heck? He’d transmigrated with nothing but his mouth!

An exalted immortal beheaded an enemy with one strike, then appeared in front of Chu Jingxi the next second.

“Demon spy, you must die.”

As the immortal coldly raised his sword, the System sounded another announcement:

[Congratulations! You have awakened the ultimate passive skill:

“Fellow Daoist, Please Remain Silent.”]

The snow-white blade stopped half an inch from his throat. Suddenly, the immortal began introducing himself, unable to stop.

Note: The central hook in the blurb will stay the same, but the rest may be revised several times before the novel begins.

Reading notes: 1. Still a goofy, easygoing power fantasy with rapid success. This is not serious cultivation literature.

2. A genius story: an incredibly charismatic bottom × a decisive, fiercely protective top.

3. The protagonist is an egoist. His hair and eye color change early on due to a fortuitous encounter.

4. The author’s notes include skits that are best enjoyed alongside the story. The anti-piracy subscription threshold is 80%. After some time has passed, clearing your cache will show the latest chapter.

5. If you can’t see the latest chapter, open the novel app, tap Settings, then tap Clear Cache~

When Ying Fusheng was young, his mother consort despised him. No one loved or cared for him.

Only after being framed and imprisoned did he understand that his absurd life of neglect and exploitation had all been part of a “swap the crown prince” scheme.

The false crown prince was favored by the emperor and doted on by the empress. Backed by the prestigious Xu family, renowned for their upright scholarship, he became famous throughout the realm at a young age, attracting everyone’s attention before ultimately ascending to the throne.

Meanwhile, Ying Fusheng, the true son of Empress Xu, had been swapped out by Consort Ning. He was poisoned by his false mother, imprisoned, and finally framed and used by the false crown prince and the Ning family. Just as the new emperor took the throne, he was executed with a cup of poison…

When he opened his eyes again, he struggled his way back from the gates of death and discovered he had been reborn.

This time, he would not repeat his past mistakes.

If his mother consort wouldn’t fight for power, then he would be even more “indifferent to fame and fortune.” While others fought for power, he grew flowers; while they vied for renown, he chanted sutras.

The Empress Dowager: “Sixth Prince has a simple heart. He’s a good, filial boy.”

Consort Ning: ???

The crown prince befriended scholars from humble backgrounds, the eldest prince courted the powerful, while he spent his days with wastrels, “carousing” and “indulging in extravagance.”

The princes fought until they were bloody, and the emperor looked at Ying Fusheng. “Sixth Prince is still the one who gives me the least to worry about.”

False crown prince: ???

The court was tangled in deep-rooted factions and fierce political strife, but he cleared old grievances and settled old debts, moving forward one step at a time.

The treasury flourished, and the whole court rejoiced. The officials praised him: “The Sixth Prince is wise within and virtuous without, and works for the good of all under heaven!”

The other princes: ???

When Qi Hanzhou first met him at the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet, the young man stood with his robe gathered around him, his bright eyes deep and full of ambition.

He thought Ying Fusheng was scheming and would become a threat in time.

Later, on a tour of Jiangnan, injustice was righted and his name spread throughout the land…

Beneath Ying Fusheng’s ambition lay the countless common people he never spoke of. He was one of them, and he was willing to bow his head in service.
