The Genius Playboy

Genius Playboy is an urban cultivation novel by the web author Mozhu Zhuzhu, serialized on the urban entertainment channel of Zongheng Chinese from November 6, 2013. Completed at roughly 7.72 million characters across 2,454 chapters, it begins with a supreme cultivator in the cultivation world triggering a heavenly prohibition while undergoing tribulation, drawing down divine punishment. His physical body is destroyed in the lightning tribulation, and only his strongest primordial spirit crosses over to Earth, possessing Jiang Feng, a playboy heir who has just died after falling from a horse. The original Jiang Feng was a notorious wastrel of the Jiang family in Yanjing, but reborn into the same body with a cultivator's knowledge, Dao heart, and god-tier cultivation talent, he embarks on an entirely different life. The novel follows Jiang Feng's experiences in the city: he uses cultivation methods to heal the sick and injured, and deals with enemies and provocateurs with ruthless decisiveness. Through a series of conflicts and setbacks, he gradually uncovers the secrets behind his family, handles pressure from various factions, and becomes entangled in romantic relationships with several women, including Ye Qingxuan and Zhao Wuxia. The author interweaves cultivation powers, urban power struggles, family grudges, and romantic threads, depicting the protagonist's step-by-step rise from a despised playboy to a powerful figure. With its massive length and densely packed plot, the book is one of the larger and longer-running representative works of urban cultivation on Zongheng Chinese.
