Lin Liangxue was a direct disciple of the Sword Sect, blessed with an exceptional dual spiritual root. He spent his whole life working toward cultivation and ascension to the immortal realm. But resources were scarce on the cultivation continent and cultivation was difficult, and in the end, he failed his ascension tribulation and vanished into nothingness.
When he woke again, he found himself inside a Mary Sue novel. The protagonist was entangled with several men, spending every day either flirting or caught in torturous romances that threatened their lives. Everyone else in the story was obsessed with the protagonist's tangled relationships with these men, and no one focused on cultivation.
He was the protagonist's biological older brother. Jealous of his younger brother, he was eventually manipulated by the various factions in the story and made their slave, kept for their amusement.
The story's world was rich in resources, but no one focused on cultivation. They were only interested in romance.
At the time, the immortal sect entrance exams were underway. To everyone's ridicule and scorn, he was found to possess an exceptional dual spiritual root, making him a once-in-a-thousand-years cultivation prodigy of the Lingxiao Sect.
The elders of every peak scrambled to claim him, even fighting in front of the sect gate.
Pill Peak Elder: "Come to my Pill Peak, disciple. We have endless pills and medicines!"
Beast Peak Elder: "Come to my Beast Peak, disciple. Pick any divine beast you like, phoenixes, qilins, and more!"
Artifact Peak Elder: "Come to my Artifact Peak, disciple. Choose any magical treasure or spiritual artifact you want!"
Talisman Peak Elder: "Come to my Talisman Peak, disciple. We have every kind of spirit talisman, plus a monthly allowance of tens of millions of spirit stones!"
Sword Peak Elder: "Sword Peak may be poor, disciple, but we have plenty of swords. Come join us!"
Lin Liangxue devoted himself to cultivation, waiting for the day he could ascend to the immortal realm.
Until one day, he noticed that everyone was looking at him differently, especially the several men who had previously been tangled up with his younger brother.
Suitor 1: "Liangxue, would you be willing to cultivate dual cultivation with me?"
Suitor 2: "Dual cultivation will help you cultivate."
Suitor 3: "Marry me, Lin Liangxue, and I'll give you wealth and glory."
The merfolk draped across Lin Liangxue's lap raised his head, twining his tail around Lin Liangxue's hair as his fish tail swished in the water. He gave a soft hum. "They're all lusting after your body, Axue. Unlike me, I only worry that cultivation is hard on you. You must take care of yourself."
Lin Liangxue rubbed his lower back. If he hadn't been so exhausted that his back was about to break, he might have believed that fish.
