Bad news: I'm a simp.
Good news: Being a simp made me the most popular man around.
Su Yao was withdrawn from childhood and didn't like talking to people.
One cultivator described Su Yao this way: From a distance, he looks like a rat; up close, he looks like a snake. He's even less worthy of being the Immortal Venerable's disciple.
That was mild compared to some of the things other cultivators said.
Su Yao ignored the rumors and devoted himself to sword practice, but still lost to his junior brother in the Immortal Mountain Tournament and fell off the list of rising stars.
Just as he reached the lowest point of his life, someone claiming to be a System came looking for him.
It claimed it could heal the scars on Su Yao's face and improve his cultivation, but told him that to increase his cultivation, he first had to become a simp, and to become a simp, he first had to become the most popular man around.
Su Yao: "?"
From then on, the cultivation world gained an all-knowing diviner, the Demon Venerable found himself with a one-sided love for a white moonlight, and even the Immortal Venerable fell into the mortal world and cooked meals for a little cultivator. Even the junior brother who had once tried to kill Su Yao in the Immortal Mountain Tournament gave up his cultivation for his wife and became an ordinary man.
Su Yao also broke free of the System, attained immortality, and cultivated a life of freedom and ease.
Theme: Work hard, and you'll become a better version of yourself.
