Blurb:
As an excellent little cog in the urban rat race, Lin Xiaoyu has simple ambitions in life: clock out on time, get paid, and have her takeout arrive without spilling.
Her greatest superpower is digging out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes to ease social awkwardness. Her ultimate dream is to lie flat and live like a salted fish.
Then one day, Lin Xiaoyu inexplicably becomes the eighty-first-generation successor and sect leader of a local cultivation clan with a thousand-year legacy! She is also tasked with restoring the sect to its former glory!
Lin Xiaoyu: “...???”
What is this, some kind of senior-citizen cosplay?
This is a funny, yet bittersweet story about an overworked office drone, a salted fish, and a bunch of anxious old patriarchs trying to make a comeback in the Age of Dharma Decline, all while maintaining their dignity.
Other people cultivate immortality by abstaining from food. Lin Xiaoyu cultivates through takeout!
Restore the sect to glory?
First, she'd better restore some order to life's little messes and pay the bills at the end of the month!
