In order to save the world of cultivating immortals, I also worked very hard

Synopsis

The story centers on Shen Huaichu, a man whose lifelong bachelorhood ends abruptly with a freak accident involving a brick. He is subsequently thrust into a fictional cultivation realm with a specific, daunting mandate: clear away the eighty-one romantic entanglements surrounding the world's protagonist, Gu Qingxing. By dismantling these superficial attractions, Shen aims to stabilize the setting, though the task feels more like an arduous chore than a heroic quest. The prose carries a lighthearted, almost comedic energy, blending the high stakes of immortal cultivation with the absurdity of romantic housekeeping. It escalates from a mission of elimination into a deeper dynamic between the two leads, rewarding those who enjoy a blend of sweetness and satisfying progression. However, the brevity of the journey might leave some wanting more depth in the world-building. The atmosphere remains airy and focused on the central relationship, ensuring the emotional weight never becomes oppressive despite the supernatural backdrop.
