Being a Salted Fish is Hard

All he wanted was a peaceful retirement—but fate had other plans. Raised by the very enemies who destroyed his family, our protagonist discovers the brutal truth only after coming of age. Revenge achieved, he dreams of living as a 'salted fish'—lazy, carefree, unbothered. But in a world teeming with cultivators, system users, reincarnators, and transmigrators with knowledge from other lives, tranquility is a luxury no one will let him have. Every attempt to slack off drags him into greater chaos. Sometimes the hardest battle isn't seeking power—it's trying to avoid it.
