The Immortal Magician
Cultivator Charles Lowery descended the mountains to wed his fiancée. Bound to hide his powers, he live-streamed immortal arts as "magic". Millions were stunned. Then, he was invited to a TV contest. Had he truly fooled the world?

From Taoist Temple to Living Room
One minute you’re dodging golden energy blasts on a yin-yang mat, the next you’re in a luxury penthouse with a pink handbag and whiskey glasses. The tonal whiplash is intentional—and brilliant. Charles Lowery’s journey from child healer to adult chaos agent feels oddly relatable. Bonus points for the butterfly magic being both tender and absurd. 🦋💥
Master Shaun’s Existential Crisis
Shaun Riggs isn’t just fighting energy blasts—he’s battling midlife confusion. His facial expressions alone deserve an Oscar: shock, pride, despair, then sudden joy when Charles finally lands a punch. The way he clutches his robe like it’s a security blanket? Chef’s kiss. The Immortal Magician knows its real power lies in human frailty, not just qi. 😅🪷
The Red Envelope That Changed Everything
That little red envelope wasn’t just a plot device—it was the emotional detonator. When Charles presents it, the room freezes. Ten years ago, he healed a girl with a leaf; now he walks into a billionaire’s living room like he owns the feng shui. The contrast between past innocence and present swagger is *chef’s kiss*. Also, Arely’s side-eye? Iconic. 👀🎁
CGI vs. Real Tears
The Immortal Magician balances spectacle and sincerity perfectly. Yes, there are floating fights and glowing talismans—but the real magic happens when Shaun wipes his mouth with a cloth and looks utterly defeated. No VFX needed. The transition from temple courtyard to modern lounge mirrors Charles’s arc: from disciple to disruptor, still holding onto that same quiet kindness. 💫❤️
When Cultivation Meets Family Drama
The Immortal Magician flips the script: instead of mountain-top seclusion, we get a white-bearded master sweating through emotional whiplash. That coughing scene? Pure comedic gold. The CGI lightning is flashy, but it’s the awkward father-son energy that steals the show. Also, why does every immortal need a tiny red envelope? 📜✨
