In his previous life, Shu Yang was a typical overpowered protagonist. As the chosen one, he always managed to turn danger into safety, rising from a despised beggar to the pinnacle of cultivation, becoming the first person in hundreds of years to achieve the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness and attain immortality.
However, after a few years of peaceful life, Shu Yang grew tired of it and jumped off the Execution Platform in an attempt to reincarnate. Unexpectedly, he angered the Heavenly Dao and was banished to the mortal realm where he successfully reincarnated as the male concubine of his nemesis, Ruan Wei. He was still just a pretty face with completely useless spiritual roots.
Shu Yang thought, “We’ll talk about it when you get back!”
Shu Yang stayed in the inner courtyard with trepidation, afraid that after his disguise was exposed, he would be retaliated against by Ruan Wei, the young master of the Dragon Clan. However, he did not expect that his mortal enemy had countless male concubines in the inner courtyard, but Ruan Wei seemed to have never touched any of them. Every time Ruan Wei came to the inner courtyard, he would just summon the male concubines he had collected, quietly look at those faces that were very similar to Shu Yang’s in his previous life, and then leave indifferently.
Legend has it that the Dragon Clan’s young master, Ruan Wei, suffered heartbreak a hundred years ago when his beloved murdered his wife to achieve enlightenment. Enraged, he collected many faces resembling his ex-husband, intending to endure hardship and eventually ascend to immortality, storming the Heavenly Court to avenge his past abandonment. That heartless scumbag who used Ruan Wei to ascend and murder his wife to achieve enlightenment was none other than Shu Yang.
The rumored ex-husband, Shu Yang, was speechless. Stop talking nonsense! He cultivates the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness, pure and innocent. When did he ever have a wife, or murder her to achieve enlightenment?!
Shu Yang did not believe the rumors, preferring to believe that his nemesis, Ruan Wei, was driven by jealousy and hatred because he was inferior to him, and thus needed to look at his own face every day to strive harder.
However, because he was temporarily no match for Ruan Wei, Shu Yang dared not reveal his identity in the slightest. He diligently played the role of a stand-in who could be killed at any moment, and vowed to disrupt Ruan Wei’s Dao heart before Ruan Wei could successfully take revenge on him. So he teased Ruan Wei every day, not only showering him with sweet words, but also occasionally pinning him against the wall and deliberately touching Ruan Wei’s sensitive earlobes.
Seeing Ruan Wei’s fair face gradually blush, becoming so sensitive that he could not even hold his sword steadily, Shu Yang felt increasingly happy. He thought he had ruined Ruan Wei’s cultivation plan. Unexpectedly, one day he secretly sneaked into the forbidden area of the inner courtyard and found countless portraits of him on the walls of the secret room in the forbidden area. There was even a picture of him bathing.
Shu Yang felt a chill run down his spine and tried to run, but suddenly a cold object was pressed against his neck.
Startled, Shu Yang turned around cautiously and saw Ruan Wei, whose body showed the distinct signs of pregnancy, pointing a sword at his heart, tilting his head to look at him.
“Not planning to keep pretending?”
Ruan Wei’s voice was calm, even somewhat deliberate.
“Shu Yang, or rather, the one who once killed his wife to prove his Dao, the father of my child?”

- The synopsis has been slightly adjusted, but the overall structure remains the same.
Upcoming Pre-order: “Stop, Stop Fighting!”
Yun Sa, orphaned at a young age and possessing exceptional talent, successfully ascended the ladder to immortality at eighteen, becoming an unparalleled figure in the cultivation world. Ten years later, he suffered a cultivation mishap, falling into the demonic path and becoming a target of envy.
But whether standing atop the peak overlooking everyone or struggling to break through the bottleneck in the trough, Yun Sa gritted his teeth and never forgot his Dao heart’s direction. He wanted to become an immortal, the only one in the past five hundred years to successfully ascend.
Two hundred years later, the nine tribulations of ascension finally descended upon him, and Yun Sa finally shattered the void, ascending to immortality and joining the ranks of the immortals.
He thought his good days were about to begin, but before Yun Sa could even enjoy his carefree life as a wandering immortal for a few days, the Heavenly Dao came knocking, banishing him to the mortal realm without a word. As it departed, it coldly uttered a divine decree: “Your soul is incomplete, your worldly ties are not yet severed, you do not meet the standards for immortality, and you must begin cultivating anew.”
Banished back to the mortal realm, the wandering immortal Yun Sa fell from the clouds, landing on the ground covered in dirt, and was forced to confront a question he himself could not understand.
Wait, where is my soul?! And what worldly ties do I still have to sever?!
Later, Yun Sa, still puzzled, discovered that the two fragments of his divine soul that had been tragically severed by the lightning tribulation had successfully materialized into physical bodies during his time in the Immortal Realm. One fragment became the most beloved and aloof disciple of a sect, a paragon of virtue in the entire cultivation world. The other became the Lord of the Demon Realm, possessing the power to command hundreds of demons to roam freely in the night. Most importantly, although these two fragments of his divine soul shared the same origin, both formed from Yun Sa’s own soul, they considered each other mortal enemies, constantly fighting, causing chaos and unrest throughout the mortal realm.
Even the Heavenly Dao could not stand it anymore and summoned their father, Yun Sa, to intervene, subtly implying, “Please, sir, control these two little brats!”
Yun Sa was speechless. He rolled up his sleeves and punched his two arrogant sons one by one, making them run away with their heads in their hands. While beating them, he kept asking, “Why are you fighting? Why are you fighting?!”
The usually aloof eldest disciple sat on the ground with tears in his eyes, while the usually arrogant demon also had red eyes and pointed at each other in unison, saying:
“He killed my father!”
“I want to avenge my father!”
Yun Sa thought, “You little rascals, your father is here.”
In order to educate these two children, Yun Sa had to become an ambassador for friendly exchanges between the human and demon realms. He carried one child in each hand and guided them step by step to level up, fight monsters, and become immortals. In the end, one of his sons became the Emperor of the God Realm, and the other became the Lord of the Immortal Realm. As for Yun Sa, he became an existence on par with the Heavenly Dao, immortal and indestructible, and was worshipped by the human realm for hundreds of generations.
His two sons, seemingly divine in public, secretly fought again because they both wanted Yun Sa to retire in their own territories.
Yun Sa looked at his enormous merit points, equal to the Heavenly Dao, and sweated profusely. “Am I, a father, becoming wealthy because of my sons?”
