Chen Mu died a stupid death — crushed by a truck while eating a microwaved burrito.
He expected reincarnation to come with swords, flying palaces, maybe even dragons.
Instead, he wakes up as a ghost trapped inside a dusty jade ring, armed with no power, no plan, and a sarcastic system that only rewards one thing: pretending to be an ancient cultivator.
Enter Lin Tian, a hopeless outer sect disciple with a fractured spirit root, zero talent, and a desperate need for a miracle.
When he picks up the ring, Chen Mu panics... and bluffs.
“I am the Heaven-Cracking Grandmaster! Slayer of Gods! Founder of—uh—some sect, probably!”
And the kid buys it.
Now, forced to play the role of a legendary master, Chen Mu must fake his way through ancient wisdom, cultivation nonsense, and made-up techniques — all while trying not to get exposed (or killed).
Luckily, every lie he sells earns him real power... eventually.
Too bad his disciple wants to charge into danger every other day.
