Next book: My Dao Companion Is the Sword Sect's Senior Brother
Jun Huameng is an overlooked prince. Among the emperor's children, he is neither the legitimate heir nor the eldest, and his mediocre talents make him seem of little use.
As the aging emperor's health worsens by the day, Jun Huameng is likely to be eliminated by his brothers once one of them takes the throne. But during the ceremony to worship Heaven, he sees an immortal.
The immortal has silver hair cascading like a waterfall and eyes like the stars. More importantly, it seems that Jun Huameng is the only one who can see him.
As Jun Huameng stands there in a daze, he hears the immortal lean close to his ear and ask, "Do you want to survive?"
Those few words drive Jun Huameng to study day and night. He hones himself into a model prince, capable of commanding armies on the battlefield and managing affairs at court, of approving memorials and beating back enemy troops. Even the ailing emperor struggles to hold on long enough to commend him.
But only Jun Huameng knows that he does all this not only to survive, but also to win the immortal's favor.

A useless prince who strives to improve himself in the later stages, top x a beautiful, wickedly charming immortal master, bottom
