In his past life, Wei Liang was the son of a powerful political dynasty, completely surrounded by conspiracies, assassinations, and zero peace. After dying at thirty-four from stress-induced heart failure, he is granted a second chance in the vast cultivation world of the Tiancang Realm. His new life goal? Absolutely zero politics. He just wants to open a rundown tavern in the remote border town of Shuyun, brew some wine, watch the sunset, and cultivate at a snail's pace to live a comfortable five hundred years. There’s just one tiny problem: the cultivation world is built entirely on paranoia. When Wei Liang tries to de-escalate conflicts out of pure, lazy panic, terrifying cultivators misinterpret his chill attitude as the absolute, unfathomable confidence of a hidden primordial master. To make matters worse, his first batch of wine accidentally turns out to be Heaven-grade spiritual wine that induces minor enlightenment, and world-ending artifacts keep getting tucked away behind his vinegar jars. Can a man with a hidden SSS-rank spiritual root just run his bar in peace, or will the universe force him to become a legend?
