Passing Off as a Flute Prodigy: The Heretical Path to Cultivation Begins with a Plague of Insects

When the insect disaster struck, Su Zhe spent seven days holed up in his rental apartment, too afraid of bugs to go out. Starving to the brink of death, he unexpectedly bonded with the [Allusions and Idioms Shuttle System].

Before he had time to celebrate, he was thrown into the Linzi Palace of the Warring States era, where demons and ghosts ran rampant. He had become a musician on probation in the world of The Emperor's New Clothes, a tale of someone pretending to play the yu.

On the throne, King Min of Qi, who loved listening to solo performances, bared his fangs. In the great hall, musicians who played poorly became part of the instruments.

Facing the eerie yu instrument covered in human teeth, Su Zhe looked utterly desperate. "But I don't even know what a yu is!"

To stay alive, he had no choice but to frantically learn to play the yu in this man-eating world, all while staying wary of the three hundred colleagues who eyed the living with hungry looks.

While other Awakened ones fought monsters and leveled up in the insect-disaster apocalypse, Su Zhe faced the eerie world of idioms and allusions alone, struggling to survive and seek immortality.

But why is the spiritual energy I cultivated black???
