Chen Xiaofan was just an ordinary guy—until fate played a cruel joke on him. One moment, he was living his normal life; the next, he had swallowed the Mixed Yuan Bead and found himself reborn in a completely different world.
Chen Xiaofan’s life took an unexpected turn when he accidentally swallowed the mysterious Mixed Yuan Bead. In a flash, he was thrust into another world, becoming the young master of the prestigious Chen family in Dusk Cloud City. But this wasn’t the fairytale it seemed. While he inherited the title of the city’s “First Beautiful Man” and the peculiar reputation of “eating with his face”—a quirk that somehow charmed the women of the city—he also discovered a harsh truth: he was utterly incapable of cultivation. In a world where strength and spiritual power defined one’s worth, Chen Xiaofan was seen as little more than a handsome piece of “waste wood.”
Despite the adoration he received, Chen Xiaofan felt like an outsider. The lavish life of a young master, with its comforts and privileges, couldn’t fill the void of his longing to return to his original world. His family, content with their status and his role as the charming but powerless heir, vehemently opposed his desire to pursue cultivation. To them, it was a fool’s errand, a path that would only bring shame and danger. But Chen Xiaofan was determined. He wasn’t content to live a life of hollow admiration or to be defined by his limitations.
With a mix of stubbornness and hope, he made the difficult decision to leave behind the stability of his life in Dusk Cloud City. Against his family’s protests, he stepped into the unknown, driven by a quiet resolve to forge his own path. It wasn’t just about returning home—it was about proving to himself that even a “waste wood” could grow into something extraordinary. His journey was not just one of cultivation, but of self-discovery, resilience, and the unyielding belief that even the most unlikely of heroes can rise.
