Bitter Brew, Broken Blades
By @john1208
Swords are raining from the sky, threatening to impale Su Wenji where he sits. His only concern? The spring water hasn't reached the perfect eighty-five degrees Celsius. Reincarnated into the martial-obsessed Chongming Realm, the former modern tea master finds himself armed with the seemingly useless Dao of Steeped Leaves. But when the haughty Emperor Huangfu Chuan unleashes his ultimate world-ending slash, Su Wenji finally takes a sip of his freshly brewed Oolong. The tea doesn't just taste divine - it grants absolute, logic-defying invincibility. Under the baffled gaze of the realm's strongest traditionalists, Su Wenji retaliates. A single, casual flick of his tea-dust brush splits the Emperor's ancestral mountain in half. However, the universe demands a toll. Beneath his quiet, ruthless exterior lies a terrifying reality: his reincarnation came with a hidden temporal curse nobody warned him about. Every cup of his invincible brew accelerates a localized countdown to his soul's erasure. With arrogant sword cultivators constantly seeking his head and his lifespan ticking away in secret, can Su Wenji speed-run his way to immortality before the kettle runs completely dry?
