After the Conqueror Failed and Left My Body

Stories always love to feature a soul from another world who transmigrates into a weak, useless original host, then slaughters their way to victory, wins everyone's affection, and lives happily ever after.

But those stories never say what happens if the original host was no ordinary person. Where does he go after someone transmigrates into his body? What happens to him, and what does the soul that replaced him do?

Lin Fuguang is that original host who was transmigrated over.

Thirty years ago, he was once the most brilliant prodigy of his generation.

Thirty years later, the transmigrated protagonist, who came to win everyone over, has failed and left his body behind. All that remains is a sect that despises him, senior brothers who look down on him, junior brothers and sisters who hate him, an apprentice who has severed ties with him, a fiance who keeps him at arm's length, and a reputation as everyone's laughingstock, a pathetic sycophant. People sigh that Fuguang, the Sword Immortal, was like a mayfly on the water, a fleeting glimmer that vanished in an instant. A fallen genius, a tragic waste.

A catastrophic start from the very beginning.

Lin Fuguang simply smiles as he returns, picks up a hoe, and begins clearing the flower garden that has gone untended for years.

Life is like growing flowers. When one flower fades, another will bloom sooner or later.

And so Lin Fuguang's garden blossoms once more. With nothing to do, he picks up a cute child, then a kind child, then another... Wait, a rotten, evil demon lord?!

After that, he discovers that everything the transmigrator had racked his brains to obtain is now coming to him of its own accord, along with an unwanted "archenemy."

Lin Fuguang: My apprentices have been acting strange lately. They keep going on about arch-enemies, saying all sorts of things about them. I don't get it. Could my apprentices have been transmigrated too?

Couple: A "villainous," "tyrannical and terrifying" demon lord x a "gentle" Sword Immortal who loves to slash the tops of his enemies' heads clean off with one strike

Theme: I am who I am, and I have nothing to be ashamed of.
