The Bai Fan in the mirror was grinning broadly at him. It was very strange: because he was not smiling at all.

His ideal life is to get by in peace, renting out a modest home and making enough to live on without ever getting rich.

Thus begins the most chaotic, strangest, and most abnormal landlord-tenant story. "From the day I put my fingerprint on the employment contract, I knew I was on a sinking ship..."

One day, Song Shuhang accidentally joined a chat group for hardcore fans of fantasy novels and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).

Even the group owner's lost pet dog was referred to as a "Great Demon Dog Who Ran Away from Home." They spent all their time discussing alchemy, exploring secret realms, and cultivation techniques. One day, after lurking for a long time, he suddenly discovered that... Every single member of the group was actually a cultivator, the kind who could move mountains and overturn seas and live for thousands of years! Ugh, my worldview has completely shattered overnight!
