Who Says Immortal Maidens Don't Need the Gaokao?

When Tao Tao asks her only friend Hua Che whether wearing stockings can truly cure her social anxiety, he confidently assures her that trust is all she needs. Two days later, watching her effortlessly master the look, he can only marvel—no wonder she is an immortal prodigy. Hua Che was once a top sports prospect in Quancheng, but an injury shattered his dream of taking the athletic college entrance exam. Just as he resigns himself to a dead end, a strange game interface floods his vision: "The Immortal Salvation Strategy" loads, unveiling the tragic fate of Tao Hua—a revered fairy who, due to a childhood cultivation flaw, can never break through to higher realms and eventually dies in solitude. The game offers him a mission: establish a connection with her and save her fate, with a reward of ten spirit stones. When Hua Che learns that each stone is worth a hundred yuan, his reluctance vanishes. Yet as he approaches the aloof Tao Tao, he realizes she is not cold but cripplingly shy. One by one, other legendary figures—Wanfeng and Yangui—enter his life, each awaiting his intervention. In the process of redeeming them, Hua Che inadvertently revives his own sporting career and builds a business empire. After all, when the game pays that well, why not play along?
