Like Father, Like Son

share time: 2026-01-17 00:31:45

Modern office worker Lin Xiaochuan burns the midnight oil for KPI until he’s balding—until his father Lin Jianguo, missing for 20 years, suddenly shows up. This old trickster in a Taoist robe and carrying a peach wood sword is actually a hermit immortal! To make things worse, they’re bound to the “Filial Piety System”: they must complete 10 “anti-common sense tasks” together to unlock the father’s immortal inheritance. Otherwise, Lin Xiaochuan will turn into a talkative old child, and Lin Jianguo will become a socially anxious office worker. From helping a neighborhood aunt find her “lost cat” (an ancient spirit pet in disguise) to assisting a colleague in chasing a “goddess” (who’s the daughter of the father’s old acquaintance), the father and son go from mutual dislike to teaming up. They solve urban troubles with immortal magic while repairing their 20-year rift. There’s also the sweet romance between Lin Xiaochuan and the “goddess,” plus the father’s reconnection with his old friend. This reverse growth journey of a workaholic son and an immortal father is filled with laughs and warmth!
