The path of immortality is ethereal, trailing the footsteps of immortals is elusive. Li Nianfan, as a mortal, descended into the world of cultivation, only desiring a peaceful life after realizing that becoming an immortal was hopeless. Little did he know that... The dog he adopted, because it saw him writing poetry and painting, became the king of demons, suppressing a world.

It turned out that the scholar who had been pestering him for calligraphy and paintings was the immortal art master of the celestial world, the old man who was terrible at chess was the immortal chess grandmaster, and the beautiful woman who came to listen to music every night was the number one saint in the celestial world...

When Xule shifted his gaze from those words and saw the countless stars behind the dust for the first time, he was not moved. On the contrary, he was furious: How could anyone stand these stars shining so brightly outside the sky of the Great Region? Being dazzled by these lights every day, one would probably become like those wild cats in the mine, dumbstruck by the headlights! So Xule gave up his dream of becoming an esteemed female warship commander's assistant officer and began to fall, fall, and fall under the influence of gravity. He became a poor boy from a remote town, a pitiful man who sold his body, and a male nanny engaged in tedious work...
