The Cultivation World's Number One Workhorse

Ji Lanshu had bad luck for most of his life.

Just as he was starting to make a name for himself on the Ruthless Path, his sect was destroyed. After finally switching to another sect, the cultivation world merged with the mortal world.

He spent most of his life struggling to get by in the human world. At last, he managed to enter the imperial palace and become the Crown Prince's tutor, only for the Crown Prince to take a fancy to him and insist on making him his Crown Princess. The Emperor flew into a rage and exiled him to the Northern Wastelands.

Years later, he faked his death and escaped, then entered the imperial court as a minor official. Before long, a crowd of people were shouting that they wanted to kill the Emperor and establish a new system. As someone who simply went with the flow, he hadn't managed to flee in time, and barely saved his neck thanks to his record of achievements.

Theme: Live with reverence, and face death with the will to live.
