Tales of a Mad Immortal

Synopsis:

Su Yan transmigrated, but it seems his mind didn't quite make the journey with him. One half is a deranged Daoist who firmly believes English is the language of immortals and nursery rhymes are divine spells. The other is a clear-headed personality, cold to the point of cruelty and guided by logic alone. Deeper still lurks a shadow that indifferently calculates everything. Starving and barely able to stand, he can only play the savior in an otherworldly mountain village with his nonsensical "foreign-language talismans" and wildly off-key "immortal music incantations."

Then he digs up a black box marked with red, green, black, and white buttons: the "Heavenly Secrets Mirror." It claims to be a fragment of a civilization ark, capable of making deductions, changing fate, and even repairing anything. But every use makes his madness more chaotic and brings the ice-cold shadow closer to the surface.

When well water turns into a pool of blood, enemies die from his "yin curse," and the mysterious government bureau known as the Mystic Mirror Division sends its Wind Patrol Envoy into the village on a magical artifact, Su Yan is forced to walk a tightrope between the frenzied superstition of ignorant villagers, the suspicions of orthodox cultivators, and the struggle among the three personalities within him. He must use madness to disguise his innocence and clarity to calculate a way to survive, operating this bizarrely designed "supercomputer" with the pitiful little bit of "battery power" he has in a world of immortals and martial arts.

This is only the beginning. In a world designed as an experimental field, the biggest bug may well be Su Yan himself.
