After returning home to farm, I discovered that my family’s vegetable garden actually connects to a tiny cultivation world. One by one, gods and demons not even the size of a finger ascended, all believing my vegetable patch was the Immortal Realm.

Nameless Sword Saint, Kunlun Fairy, Green Emperor, Great Demon King… Their titles sound impressive, but how come I can flick them away with just one finger? So weak…

These little people actually all think I’m an immortal???

Facing the dual blows of a terminal ALS diagnosis and the painful end of an eleven-year relationship, Su Ning retreats to his quiet countryside home, resigned to await his fate. With no family fortune, career success, or prospects, he embodies the “so what?” attitude of someone with nothing left to lose. His solitary plan to find peace in mundane tasks like weeding his overgrown garden takes an unbelievable turn when he discovers a group of thumb-sized, flying, cultivator-like beings – Ascendants from another realm – locked in a life-or-death battle with a common spider near a peculiar small tree.

Mistaking the ordinary, dying Su Ning for a powerful Immortal Realm being after he casually saves them, these miniature Saints and Fallen Creatures offer him their cultivation knowledge in gratitude and for protection. To his astonishment, a unique, jointly-created cultivation method actually works, beginning to heal his ravaged body and granting him superhuman strength.

Now, Su Ning navigates a bizarre dual existence: tending his garden, dealing with lingering ties to his past life (including a bewildered ex-girlfriend and a demanding former boss), and secretly acting as the unwitting ‘Immortal Senior’ to a growing population of miniature cultivators in his backyard. He provides them with simple food that acts as divine elixirs, witnesses their internal conflicts and Lower Realm grudges, and even acquires a ghostly classmate as an unexpected companion. As his own power grows and his health returns, Su Ning, the man who expected nothing, finds himself at the center of a hidden world, grappling with newfound abilities, strange responsibilities, and the lingering question – now that he might live, so what comes next?
