Because for her, some things are not meant to change. And then there’s Stephan—someone who has everything, yet believes nothing in love is real. Two people with completely different lives, yet similar beliefs… What happens when they exist in the same space?

He died and thought it would be the end. But when he opened his eyes again, Ren Zu found himself in a world where cultivators of the Profound Path divide the sky, the land, and even the stars. And the worst part? He was nobody important. Just a background character, the biological son of a prodigious cultivator who died before the story even began. The protagonist? The one who shines, wins everything, and is loved by all? He was adopted by Ren Zu’s original family. And Ren Zu was thrown into the protagonist’s family. Their roles were swapped. And as if that were not enough, the protagonist even stole his wife…. Spoiler: he will not accept this. If the world wants to erase him, then the world will burn with him. If fate gave him the role of a disposable supporting character… …then he will become the villain who defies even the heavens.

Do you think becoming a True Immortal is the end of the path? In countless realms, Immortals reign above all, shaping heaven and earth, living as long as their worlds endure. Entire realities rise and fall beneath their will, and to most beings, that is the ultimate destination. But what if that… is only the beginning? What if every Immortal Realm—every heaven, every world, every law—was merely a fragment of something far greater? Because above all realms… there exists the origin. The Primordial Realm. It is the first realm—the source from which all others were born. The place where Immortal Realms, Spirit Realms, and countless worlds trace their beginnings. And here… everything is different. This is not a story about becoming an Immortal. This is a story about what lies beyond immortality. A story that begins at the origin of everything… Yet starts with a mortal.
