Synopsis:
Yun Shen, a veteran corporate wage slave who worked the brutal 9-9-6 schedule, died suddenly of overwork exactly as one might expect. When he opened his eyes again, however, he discovered that he had been buried in pitch-black soil and had become a ginseng spirit.
In order to cultivate into human form as quickly as possible, he worked hard to stretch out his body. After finally growing a few tender leaves, he had not even had time to absorb the sunlight before someone yanked him out by the roots.
The person who pulled him up was steeped in the sickly aura of someone nearing death. He was as clear and elegant as a banished immortal, yet the words that came out of his mouth made the ginseng tremble in terror.
“A thousand-year-old ginseng spirit? Perfect. I can boil it into medicine.”
Yun Shen was so frightened that he immediately offered up his ginseng roots. “Don’t eat me! I’ll give you all my little roots to soak in wine!”
.
Only after being taken away did Yun Shen learn that he had transmigrated into a cultivation novel, and the person who had pulled him out was none other than the greatest villain in the entire story.
In order to stay alive, Yun Shen had no choice but to become a working ginseng once again. Every day, he contributed one ginseng root for the great villain’s tea, and from time to time he even had to soak his own body in wine until he was dizzy, all so the great villain could have medicinal tonic wine.
After struggling desperately to survive until he finally transformed into human form, Yun Shen found himself soaked in a bathing pool instead.
Yun Shen, utterly confused: “???”
Afterward, Yun Shen bit the quilt and sobbed. “No, no, that isn’t how you treat an illness.”
The great villain pinched the little green leaf that had sprouted from Yun Shen’s head in anger. “That is exactly how an illness is treated.”
.
Treating him this way once was not enough for the great villain. He insisted on treating him like that every single day.
One day, Yun Shen discovered that his original ginseng body had bloomed with a tiny red flower, and inside that flower was a tiny ginseng seed.
Yun Shen was so frightened that he hid the seed on the spot, spending every day trembling over how to keep it concealed.
Just as he was preparing to confess everything and hope for leniency, he overheard one of the great villain’s friends say, “I heard you have a thousand-year-old ginseng. Why not give it to me? I’ll trade you a small world for it.”
The great villain replied lazily, “Sure.”
Yun Shen did not want to die or be sliced into pieces, so he immediately packed his belongings and ran away.
That night, the great villain, who had been planning to cuddle his soft little wife: “??? Where did my huge wife go?”
