Summary
In the mystical realm where cultivators chase immortality and the Dao remains elusive, one man lives a life far removed from destiny’s grand design—or so it seems.
Li Nianfan is an ordinary man with no spiritual roots and no ambition for grandeur. Content with simplicity, he moves into the cultivation world seeking a peaceful existence, tending his garden and enjoying the quiet rhythm of daily life. But the world around him begins to shift in inexplicable ways.
A stray dog he takes in grows into a fearsome demon overlord—transformed by mere glimpses of his casual brushwork and verse. A sapling in his backyard evolves into a cosmic bridge—linking the mortal realm to higher planes—nurtured by the tranquil melodies of his zither.
Wanderers stumble into his courtyard and leave with sudden insight, later becoming sages revered across continents. The very air around him seems to carry an aura of enlightenment.
Unaware of the miracles sprouting in his wake, Li Nianfan brushes off the reverent visitors and odd coincidences—until the puzzle begins to piece itself together. The clumsy man asking for calligraphy advice is hailed as a chess grandmaster by the heavens. The quiet beauty who often lingers to hear his music is, in fact, the most exalted saintess of the Immortal Realm.
As word spreads and legends rise from the seeds of his mundane life, the truth becomes undeniable—the man living an ordinary life may just be the greatest hidden expert of them all.
