Ji Yunzhao is a well-known “salted fish” (someone who prefers to do nothing) at the Transmigration Bureau. He was so lazy that even the Main God couldn’t stand it, so the deity threw him into a “Dragon-Awe” (OP protagonist) cultivation novel to get his act together.
The good news is that he transmigrated into the body of the original novel’s protagonist, the Immortal Venerable Yan Fulang’s beloved pet, a little fat bird, allowing him to continue his lazy lifestyle. The bad news is that if he keeps being lazy, he’s going to starve to death!
At this time, the male lead, Yan Fulang, has not yet become the “Dragon-Awe” protagonist; he is a nameless nobody in the cultivation world. Ji Yunzhao’s dream of relying on the male lead to slack off and wait for death is shattered. After careful consideration, Ji Yunzhao decides to first invest in (raise) the male lead, then have the male lead take care of him in his retirement (so he can stay lazy).
By day, Ji Yunzhao puts on a disguise to act as a teacher, dedicating himself fully to teaching and guiding the male lead. By night, Ji Yunzhao is still that little fat bird, good for nothing but being cute, squatting on the male lead’s shoulder to act adorable.
Later, in order to follow the plot and ensure the male lead walks the path of a “Dragon-Awe” protagonist a path that requires the death of his master before unlocking his full power, Ji Yunzhao cruelly fakes his death and abandons his human disguise.
But when he wakes up after calculating the time, he finds himself lying inside an ornate, pure gold birdcage. His ankles are locked in gold rings, with thin, long chains trailing and disappearing under layers of red robes.
The white-clad Immortal Venerable plays with the golden chains, leaning down slightly, his eyes filled with gloom. “Awake? Master, did you think… you could still go anywhere?”
