For twenty years, he lies dormant, unnoticed—until fate intervenes. When a hidden secret realm opens, two desperate cultivators from the declining Yang Family stumble upon him. Unaware of his consciousness, they take him back to their clan, unknowingly setting in motion a chain of events that will reshape their family’s destiny. Now, as an unseen guardian, Chen Yang must navigate the clan’s struggles from the shadows—strengthening them, testing them, and perhaps one day… revealing himself.
