Wulian, an immortal being at the peak of cultivation, resides in a secret world hidden deep within the void—an endless, self-created paradise where he is revered as the supreme entity. Having mastered all three thousand Daos and reached the pinnacle of power, Wulian has lived a life of solitude, with no challenges left to conquer. Bored by the stillness of eternity, he seeks a new purpose but finds himself lost in a sea of unfulfilled potential.
That is, until an AI system, with an enigmatic and playful personality, appears before him, offering a new path: to become the mastermind controlling everything behind the scenes. From manipulating merchants, alchemists, and blacksmiths, to overseeing the immortal and celestial realms, Wulian embarks on a journey to establish his hidden empire—the Hidden Court.
But as he builds his organization, subordinates become more than mere pawns. Each one has their own quirks and ambitions, and Wulian soon learns that even the most loyal are not immune to betrayal. As he orchestrates the rise of a secretive power, he must balance his reign from the shadows, dealing with both allies and enemies in a game that is as much about strategy as it is about dominance.
With his eye on the ultimate power, Wulian begins to question what lies beyond his reach—and if even the greatest immortal can remain untouched by fate.
