[A Cultivator Devoted to Seeking Immortality x A Laid-Back Slacker Who Just Wants a Quiet Life]
Blurb:
When Mu Yusheng first enters the mortal world, he is swept into a conflict involving the Three Realms.
After leaving Xuandao Mountain, where he had lived for over twenty years, he finds himself in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by complicated relationships and endless obstacles on his path of cultivation. All he wants is to seek the Great Dao in his heart.
That is when he meets Shen Yu'an.
Shen Yu'an is shrouded in mystery, yet as he spends time with Mu Yusheng, he gradually reveals a tenderness and devotion unlike any other. From testing each other and keeping their guard up to facing one crisis after another side by side and supporting each other, the two are like a pair of little boats adrift on a vast river. In this age when the path to immortality has fallen into decline, no one can be trusted but each other.
Mu Yusheng once promised his sect that he would return to Xuandao Mountain within a year. But fate has other plans: entangled in the affairs of the mortal world and caught off guard by sudden upheavals, he sinks deeper into the mire until he can no longer escape.
Both leads are each other's one and only, 1v1.

2. The ending is open-ended. The later parts leave a lot unsaid, so interpret it however you like.
3. The overall tone is a little bleak.
