Chen Shi, a male protagonist, finds himself in a peculiar situation. His grandfather, an eccentric figure, regularly lights incense and consumes candles before his own ancestral tablet, a ritual that strikes fear into the villagers. Chen Shi himself is initially scared of his grandfather, only to later realize that the villagers’ fear, and even his grandfather’s, is actually directed at him.
The novel, categorized as Action, follows Chen Shi's journey on the path to the Great Dao. It features a hard-working, calm, clever, and ultimately ruthless protagonist who starts weak but grows strong through fast cultivation and body tempering. He is an astute schemer, capable of hiding his true abilities.
The narrative is populated with a diverse cast, including gods, demons, immortals, and a beautiful female lead, though it is explicitly stated to be not a harem. Chen Shi will encounter ghosts and beast companions. The story delves into mythology, Daoism, and Dao comprehension, with elements of magic formations, artifacts, and special abilities. Chen Shi also possesses the unique ability to see things other humans cannot.
The plot involves intense power struggles, schemes and conspiracies, and wars, often leading to face-slapping moments. Themes of revenge, politics, and kingdom building are central, set against a backdrop of aristocracy and potentially lost civilizations. The protagonist, despite his ruthlessness, also exhibits a caring side. There's a comedic undertone throughout, and the presence of a tsundere character is noted. The R-15 rating suggests mature content, including gore. Skill creation, mind control, and the use of dolls/puppets are also present. The story hints at a potential body swap, and while Chen Shi is strong, he is not a child protagonist. The novel has been adapted into an anime.
