The appeal lies in watching the protagonist endure endless torment and struggle to survive.

Please add it to your library After transmigrating, Shi Wuxiang becomes an unknown wandering cultivator in the cultivation world. First, he stands out at the recruitment gathering of the Supreme Immortal Sect. Then he’s taken in as a disciple by Xie Xiaozhi, the aloof sword immortal who has not accepted a disciple in a thousand years. Everyone says Shi Wuxiang must have had good fortune for generations to earn such luck. Only Shi Wuxiang knows it’s all the System’s doing. That’s right, there’s a strange System in his head. It claims it can help him get home, but first he has to complete a series of missions it issues. The System’s missions are bizarre. At first they’re things like “Ask Xie Xiaozhi to teach you a sword technique” and “Have Xie Xiaozhi personally guide your cultivation.” Later, they become “Make Xie Xiaozhi eat a meal prepared by the Host” and “Make physical contact with Xie Xiaozhi for ten seconds”... Shi Wuxiang urgently calls for a time-out: “Wait, wait, wait. This can’t be right!” Who is Xie Xiaozhi, you ask? He ranks first in strength in the cultivation world, is the only graduate of the emotionless path, and is an elder stationed at the greatest sect under heaven. Everyone who sees him respectfully calls him Immortal Venerable. How many lives does Shi Wuxiang have to spare to provoke someone like him? The System replies coldly: “Host, complete the mission within the time limit. Failure to comply will result in punishment.” With no other choice if he wants to go home, Shi Wuxiang carries out the missions while cursing under his breath. But after a while, Shi Wuxiang, who has diligently been completing his missions, senses that something is wrong. Xie Xiaozhi doesn’t avoid him when he deliberately approaches. When danger strikes, he instinctively shields Shi Wuxiang. Even the glances he keeps casting in Shi Wuxiang’s direction carry an indescribable meaning. Shi Wuxiang: “...My long-dead conscience is starting to hurt.” At last, the System announces that one final mission will send him home. Ignoring the faint stirring in his heart, Shi Wuxiang asks, “What is it?” The System’s answer hits him like a bolt from the blue: “Kill Xie Xiaozhi.” [Note: 1v1, happy ending, both are each other’s only one, younger man pursues older man.] Theme: Strive tirelessly
