A renowned wastrel, marrying the first beauty of Brightmoon City, Chu Chuyan, it seems everyone and their dog is out for his life! Can our hero survive in this new world he finds himself in?

## Plot

Transported from the modern world into a world of cultivation, Zu An was struck by lightning the day after his wedding to Chu Chuyan. Upon waking up, he is greeted by the Keyboard System and tasked with gathering 12 secret scrolls. To make matters worse, it seems he snuck into the bed of his sister-in-law, Chu Huanzhao. Ridiculed by nearly everyone in the Chu estate, even Snow doesn't seem to like the notion of Zu An, going so far as to push Zu An into a pool of water. That night, in a desire to hold his wife at night, Zu An heads to Chuyan's room. Chuyan has no desire for her husband, however, and instead tells him to make due with Snow. After stripping and touching her all over, it is found out that Zu An has erectile dysfunction.

Leaving his wife's quarters, he stumbles upon Old Mi and discovers his manhood has been sealed and the only way to unlock it is by becoming a Master cultivator. Old Mi bestows Zu An with the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra to allow him to start his cultivation journey, and it turns out it's one of the twelve secret scrolls he was tasked to find! Unknown to Zu An, Old Mi has a desire to posses his body and take Zu An's position as his own.

Using the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, Zu An unlocks the "Rage System" of his Keyboard and proceeds to draw the Heiress Ball of Delights and Poisonous Prick. He then discovers that he is unable to progress in cultivation through self harm, and upsets Chu Huanzhao who proceeds to set her dog "Bootlicker" on him. Zu An kills Bootlicker with his Poisonous Prick, which upsets Huanzhao and causes her to beat Zu An up with her Wailing Whip.

Summoned to the ancestral hall due to his misdeeds on his wedding night, Springflower and Diao Yang plot to get Zu An in trouble by accusing him of having a mistress from a brothel. After Springflower confesses that it was all a lie, Chu Zhongtian sentences Zu An to go to Brightmoon Academy to *become a man of learning.*

Advised by his study companion, Cheng Shouping, Zu An heads out in search of Ji Dengtu for a medicine to unseal 'Little Zu An'. In order to have a consultation, Zu An must either pay 100 silver taels or do the daily tasks which is to bring him "10 Assrip Wolf goubaos" to make a Ki Refinement Pill. After getting some advice from Ji Dengtu, and a bit of healing medicine, Zu An heads out of town to hunt some Assrip Wolves.

Just before leaving the town he is stopped by Plum Blossom 12. They then meet up with Tan Wei, who Plum Blossom 12 proceeds to kill. On their way to the Wolf Valley, Plum Blossom 12 reveals that he is the one that tied him to a tree when he was struck by lightning. After a scuffle that results in Zu An getting the advantage, Zu An proceeds to threaten Plum Blossom 12, gets the gang leader's name Mei Chaofeng from him, and serves him to the Assrip Wolves who then kill him. Zu An, seeing that he is no match for the wolves, proceeds to head to the river in order to draw from the lottery.

At the river, Zu An manages to draw Marrow Cleansing Pills which allow him to max out his aptitude. Upon consuming all the pills inside the river, the abundant energy causes him to pass out and drift down the river. When he wakes up, he finds himself near a bathing Ji Xiaoxi. The pair are assaulted by a Crazy Red-Eyed Rhino, which is knocked out by Ji Xiaoxi's poison. They then proceed up river to find Zu An's clothes after Ji Xiaoxi puts her own clothes on. Zu An hatches a plan to use the Rhino to kill the Wolves, and borrows a handkerchief from Xiaoxi to wrap around the Poisonous Prick. He then shoves the dagger in the Rhino's ass and leads him to the wolves' den.

The wolves fight with the rhino, realize they should be targeting it's ass, and go at it for a while before realizing they're dying when they do so.

When leaving the wolf valley, the duo stumble across a caravan being assaulted by bandits.

Ji Xaioxi and Zu An return to Ji Dengtu...

Zu An heads to Brightmoon Academy (Or does he...?). Meets A beautiful woman, Plum Blossom 13...

Mei Chaofeng makes an appearance.

Zu An gets in trouble for skipping school, is forced to go to school the next day. Gets in a fight with Pei Mianman while searching Chuyan's pavilion.

Zu An awakens Grandgale and eventually goes to school, escorted by Hong Xingying. Old Mi threatens Zu An, in order to prevent him from skipping again, to get close to Wei Hongde. Zu An learns that Hong Xingying has feelings for Chu Chuyan and teases him that he shouldn't covet another man's wife. Upon reaching the academy they stumble upon Xie Xiu, who Zu An mistakenly thinks is female, whom is in the middle of breaking up with a nameless girl.

In the process of enrolling into the academy, they meet Wei Suo who happens to be tested with a low aptitude (D-). After having the enrollment process explained to Zu An via Cheng Shouping, another student (Ma Zhu) gets their aptitude tested. His aptitude is fairly high (B+), and the crowd gets exited. Hong Xingying sneers and inwardly boasts that his tallent is much better, and had he had access to better resources he might have been able to surpass Chu Chuyan. After a small argument between Zu An and Hong Xingying, the latter gets his aptitude tested for an "A+". He proceeds to gloat at Zu An, who then proceeds to get tested and proceeds to blow up the crystal ball (as he has transcendent talent). Cheng Shouping mentions that his talent used to be *lower ding (D-)*, and the crowd, spurred on by Hong Xingying, becomes convinced that he's just a wastrel and the crystal ball was faulty. This leads to Zu An being evaluated to be placed in the Yellow Class of the academy.

While being led to class by an unnamed staff, they pass by Lu De in the middle of "disciplining with virtue." Wei Suo brings up the topic of the Sweetheart Ranking, and they discuss them for a while before Wei Suo heads into class. Zu An is taken to the principals office and meets Jiang Luofu, who he mistakes for a fellow transmigrator because she's wearing a modern office outfit. After clearing up the misunderstanding, Principal Jiang tells him about a few of the school rules, and that she was asked to look after him by Chu Zhongtian. She also verifies his transcendent class talent by tasting his blood, and mentions that he should not tell anyone about it as it would bring unwanted attention by every powerful faction, that could end up being a threat to his life. After telling him she will erase the relevant records, he is dismissed and given his standard cultivation resource kit.

Zu An heads to his class, and gives a fairly bland greeting to his classmates after being prompted by the teacher Zhang Sang. He sits with Wei Suo, who tells him about the teacher and current class. They then talk about Jiang Luofu, and are interrupted by the teacher. After the class the class bully, Man Yu, tells Zu An to meet in the forest in order to take his ki stones. Zu An heads to the meeting point, where Man Yu demands a protection fee for all of the cultivation resources Zu An has. Zu An gives Man Yu a counter offer: to hand over all his keystones and he'll treat is as if nothing happened. After beating up Man Yu, and taking his ki stones, Man Yu mentions he has a backer named Ye Chenliang and tries to take the ki stones back. Zu An slaps Man Yu and tells him that his boss can come look for him. Zu An heads back to class, hands Wei Suo a ki stone, and finds that he is unable to absorb ki from ki stones.

After another grueling class, Zu An and Wei Suo head toward the canteen and Zu An learns Wei Suo and Wei Hongde are brothers. They get intercepted on the way by Man Yu with Ye Chenliang, who proceed to try and force Zu An into a duel. Xie Xiu gives a friendly reminder about the rules of duels. Zu An declines to duel and learns that Ye Chenliang is a fellow admirer of Chu Chuyan, then proceeds to tease him. The crowd eventually starts to chant "You are no man!" and Chu Huanzhao stands up for him saying he's indeed a man. She ends up being misunderstood after saying she's "tried it herself" to verify that he's a man. She then tells them that she whipped him seven times without a single cry escaping from him, and no one believes it. After a bit of arguing between Chu Huanzhao and Zu An, Chu Huanzhao tries to duel Ye Chenliang, and Zu An gets accused of only being able to mooch off women. Zu An explains that mooching is a skill in and of itself. Yuan Wendong steps in to stop Chu Huanzhao, and he "reminds" her that she should cool down before the situation gets out of hand.

At this point, Ji Xiaoxi comes and stands up for Zu An. This riles up the crowd and she mentions that he was able to kill dozens of assrip wolves without her being able to figure out how they were killed. She mentions that "he's her good friend" while blushing, which gets mistaken for her having feelings for him and that they have a fairly intimate relationship. Zu An uses the fact that two women came up to help him to gloat that Ye Chenliang "can’t even deal with either of the two women standing by his side right now, and still dreams of dueling him?" Hong Xingying interjects that Zu An is a lower Ding cultivator and shouldn't act like an expert. Yuan Wendong ends up challenging Zu An to a duel, in a pretense that Zu An is looking down on all the hard working cultivators by hiding behind women. Zu An notices Pei Mianman in the crowd and calls her out, threatening that he'll reveal what happened before if she doesn't help him here. Before the crowd's disbelieving eyes, Pei Mianman comes and challenges all three (Ye Chenliang, Yuan Wendong and Hong Xingying) to a duel. Hong Xingying gets absolutely destroyed with a single punch, Ye Chenliang charged straight at her like a bull, while Yuan Wendong uses his metal element to summon and hurl the crowd's swords toward Pei Mianman.

Pei Mianman vaporizes all the swords in an instant. In the middle of his charge, Ye Chenliang gets saved by Lu De. Lu De breaks up the crowd and takes Ye Chenliang and Hong Xingying for discipline. Zu An gains the moniker of "Moochlord" after it's revealed he's involved with four of the girls in the Sweetheart Ranking. Xie Xiu shows his respect to Zu An and they acknowledge each other as brothers. Zu An teases Xie Xie about his sister Xie Daoyun, who is also on the Sweetheart Rankings. Zu An thanks Ji Xiaoxi, who tells him to drop by her home to talk to Ji Dengtu (about his condition). The gawking crowd misunderstand her words, thinking they mean to talk about a possible marriage. Chu Huanzhao also misunderstands, and gets in an argument with Zu An. Yuan Wendong tells them to stop flirting, and tells Zu An he'd like to see how he plans to hide behind women in the upcoming Clan Tournament, which he has to participate in as a member of the Chu clan. After a quick discussion with Chu Huanzhao, Zu An finds out the Yuan clan is being backed by another clan, which he proceeds to tease Yuan Wendong about "already having a master". Stifling his anger a bit, Yuan Wendong still manages to threaten Zu An that he'll "break his limbs and turn him into a cripple".

Chu Huanzhao treats Zu An to lunch, and he attempts to order everything on the menu as he's curious about the food in this world. Chu Huanzhao stops him and only lets him order 8 things, as she doesn't have much money. She proceeds to interrogate Zu An about how he got tangled up with Ji Xiaoxi and Pei Mianman. After a brief argument, he gives a basic explanation of his relationship between them. She doesn't believe their relationship is so simple, to which Zu An replies that everyone thinks she's a part of his harem as well. They proceed to eat together, when Zu An asks what Huanzhao thinks of him. She says he's barely passable as a human, and he questions further on who she thinks is trying to have him killed. She is unable to narrow it down, and he asks if Chu Chuyan would want him dead, to which she completely denies, saying she picked him specifically and would marry no one other than him. After their meal, Zu An asks what class she's in then tells her he's there to lower the bar, since he's in the yellow class. After telling her "everyone has their own strengths", she questions him about her own strengths to which he answers that her legs are long. She calls him a pervert and flees in embarrassment, without giving Zu An any rage points.

Meeting up with Wei Suo, Zu An heads back to his classroom. They have yet another grueling class, this time over propriety. Zu An uses this time to draw from the keyboard lottery. He comes to the conclusion that AOE farming of rage points is more efficient than single targets, after seeing how much rage he's generated. He gets a bunch of ki fruit, a bottle of Faith in Brother Spring, along with a new item, a Fortune Pill.

After that class, Chu Huanzhao heads over in order to go home together with Zu An. Zu An learns that Hong Xingying got a room on campus in fear of being punished on his return to the Chu Estate. As they pass the gate, many students, along with Lu De, question their relationship. The two join up with Cheng Shouping at the gate and they start walking home. Plum Blossom 13 greets the trio a short distance from the academy gates, and he reminds Zu An that it's getting closer to the due date to repay his debt. Huanzhao attempts to pay off his debt, but doesn't have enough money, which earns a bit of Zu An's scorn. Zu An gives him 100 silver taels, and 7 ki stones. Together with a ki stone from Huanzhao, they more than cover the 1000 silver tael debt. After handing Zu An the debt paper, he proceeds to destroy the debt note and yells out to attract the attention of Lu De. The trio proceed to frame Plum Blossom 13, telling Lu De that the man stole their ki stones. Plum Blossom 13 attempts to explain that Zu An owed him 1000 silver taels, and that he destroyed the debt note. Lu De doesn't didn't believe Zu An had the ability to do such a thing without leaving evidence behind, and he proceeded to break Plum Blossom 13's knees before handing the ki stones to Zu An. Zu An went a step further and said all the money Plum Blossom 13 had was his, and takes all his money as well. Zu An asks Cheng Shouping about the housing market, and the price of maids, now that he has a bit of money to spend. He learns that small homes cost about 100 silver tales, while maids have varying prices due to their varying skills.

Upon coming home, Zu An is greeted by Old Mi, who asks if he met with Wei Hongde. He tells Old Mi about Wei Suo, and is given a bit of money in order to get closer to the pair of brothers. Zu An is called over to talk with Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru, and meets Snow outside a hall, who he then flirts with. Chu Chuyan yells at them and tells Zu An to come in, after which Qin Wanru interrogates Zu An about seducing a made of the estate. Zu An tells her that she was given to him by Chuyan, to which she tells her parents that it was only meant as a joke and to not listen to him. At the dinner table, Zu An tells Chuyan she's beautiful, after which Chu Zhongtian says it's impolite to talk at the dining table. After dinner, Chu Zhongtian asks Chuyan about her business, which she replies that the Blackwind Stockade had intercepted their cargo. They then proceed to talk about the Clan Tournament, and how Yuan Wendong said he would teach Zu An a lesson. Zu An asks if he really needs to participate, in which it is affirmed he does as the son-in-law of the Chu clan. After hearing that he can't get out of it, Chu Huanzhao mentions that Yuan Wendong was going to cripple Zu An, to which Chuyan says that works out fine, in order to tie Yuan Wendong down in a match against Zu An. They then discuss the odds of winning before Zu An's match, to which they have no doubts that they'll win as usual. Zu An is told to stop bragging after he says to just leave it to him, and that he'll be able to pull off a glorious comeback.
