Ling Qinghe was just a normal university student.
He loved ramen, late-night gaming, and calling everyone "bro".
One day he was crossing the road, eyes on his phone, checking ramen delivery status.
Big truck horn.
Bright lights.
Then… nothing.
When he woke up, soft wind touched his face.
Pink petals were falling slowly, like slow-motion snow.
He was lying on a flat stone ledge high on a mountain.
Below him — endless white clouds.
Around him — bamboo trees swaying gently, distant waterfalls making music.
He sat up slowly.
Something felt different.
Hair… very long hair fell over his shoulders and back.
Snow-white. Silky.
He grabbed a strand and stared.
"Bro… what the hell?"
He touched his face.
Smooth. No acne. No tiredness.
He stood up and walked to a small clear pool nearby.
Looked down.
Blue eyes looked back — big, bright, sparkling like sky.
Skin white like porcelain, glowing softly in sunlight.
Face beautiful. Like idol or anime prince.
Age looked 18–19. Young, fresh, innocent.
He laughed. Loud.
"Truck-kun! You didn't just kill me — you gave me cheat beauty mode!"
A voice spoke inside his head. Playful, sarcastic.
Ding! Welcome to Cultivation World, Host.
New body: Ling Qinghe.
Stats: Beauty SSS-rank. Cultivation F-rank (aka trash).
Try not to die in first 24 hours, bro.
Ling Qinghe blinked.
"System? Like in those web novels?"
Exactly. I'm your personal troll guide.
First mission: Greet three animals like old friends.
Reward: One family-size instant ramen cup.
Fail: Your hair turns neon pink for seven days.
He grinned.
"Challenge accepted, bro."
Right then, three fluffy white rabbits hopped out from bamboo.
They stopped and looked at him with big eyes.
Ling Qinghe crouched down.
"Yo little bros! You guys see any charging port around here? My phone died with me."
Rabbits twitched noses… then jumped into his lap one by one.
He laughed and petted them.
Mission complete. Ramen delivered.
He reached into his wide white sleeve.
Hot, steaming ramen cup appeared in his hand.
Spicy beef flavor. Perfect.
He opened it, mixed, slurped.
"Ahhhh… second life is already better."
Sun was rising higher.
Golden light hit his white hair — it glowed like it had its own light effect.
Ling Qinghe leaned back on stone, ramen in hand, petals falling around him.
"This is the best afterlife ever."
