Lin Xiu, a 10,000-year-old immortal lord, is exiled to the mortal world for breaking heavenly rules and takes over the body of a bullied office worker. Determined to lie low and earn merit to return, he’s unexpectedly “used” by Su Xiao—a feisty socialite who mistakes him for a pushover to fend off a creepy suitor. But Su Xiao is shocked when Lin Xiu uses immortal magic to “pass a drink from air” to save her! To make things worse, Lin Xiu’s “Merit System” gives him a mission: Win Su Xiao’s heart to go back early. Now, Lin Xiu has to deal with a clingy, sunny Su Xiao, a snobby boss waiting to mock him, and an “immortal debtor” chasing him for old debts. His mortal life becomes a mess—fixing a broken phone with magic gets him labeled a “tech genius,” cooking instant noodles with lingzhi (ganoderma) scent attracts the whole office, and Su Xiao even asks: “Are you a worker or an immortal?” A hilarious underdog story mixed with sweet romance—watch how this grumpy immortal navigates “forced dating” in the human world!
