For ten years, the whole nation mocked him, calling him a hopeless failure of the family. Yet unknown to the world, beneath this frivolous exterior lay the peerless heir of a reclusive millennium-old immortal sect. Personally taught by the sect's supreme master, he was unmatched in martial arts and unparalleled in literary talent, already surpassing his teacher. Ten years of self-deprecation and concealment, enduring humiliation and hiding his edge, all to clear his mother's century-old injustice and slay the wolves and powerful villains of the world. Princess Xiao Qingyi of the deep palace, stunningly beautiful and supremely noble, carried an ancient hidden martial bloodline. She saw through the falsehood of the court and the hypocrisy of human hearts, and was the only one in the world who saw through his disguise, understood his forbearance, and believed in his extraordinary brilliance. The world laughs at my dissolute folly, but I, as the hidden twin prodigies, ascend to godhood. Ten years of playing the pig to hide my edge, one day drawing my sword to settle the realm. Civil and martial might suppress the court, immortal lovers decide the fate of the world. Henceforth, no chaos in the mortal world, the hermits become a pair, unmatched for all eternity. — Description from novelcodex.org
