As A Cultivator, I Was Exposed By My Great-granddaughter’s Live Broadcast

If you are looking for a refreshing take on the modern urban cultivation genre, As A Cultivator, I Was Exposed By My Great-granddaughter’s Live Broadcast by Si Ge Yan Jing is a delightful hidden gem. Unlike typical high-stakes power fantasies, this novel masterfully blends heartwarming family dynamics with the fish-out-of-water tropes of an ancient immortal adjusting to the digital age.

The story follows Ye Fang, a Nascent Soul powerhouse who retreats from the world for a century only to return to the bustling modern era. His goal is simple: to make up for his lost years and protect his last descendant, Ye Qianyi. The genius of the narrative lies in the irony of the situation. While Ye Fang tries to remain a low-key, eccentric old man, his immense aura and hidden abilities inevitably bleed into the background of his great-granddaughter’s live streams. Watching the audience go from mocking the anchor to obsessively analyzing her grandfather’s unintentional displays of god-like power is incredibly satisfying.

What makes this novel stand out is its tone. It isn't just about fighting monsters or leveling up; it is a cozy, humorous exploration of "retirement" for an immortal. The contrast between Ye Fang’s stoic, archaic sensibilities and the chaotic, fast-paced world of internet fame creates constant comedic gold. The bond between the great-grandfather and his descendant adds a necessary emotional weight, ensuring that the stakes feel personal rather than just transactional.

Ultimately, this book succeeds because it breathes new life into the cultivation genre. It transforms the "hidden master" trope into something genuinely heartwarming and funny. If you want a lighthearted, binge-worthy read that explores the collision of ancient traditions and modern internet culture, this is the perfect story to dive into.
