## Synopsis

The Daily Life of the Immortal King (2020-present) is a Chinese donghua slice of life comedy created by Xuan Ku for bilibili. Wang Ling, a cultivation genius who has advanced a new realm every two years since infancy, wants nothing more than a low-key life now that he is sixteen and has entered senior high school. His near-invincible powers keep spilling into ordinary classroom problems, school rivalries, and social mishaps, and each episode is built from a small everyday challenge that escalates into an absurd spectacle. Supporting characters such as Sun Rong, Chen Chao and Zhuo Yi orbit him, and a narrator voice adds dry commentary that frames the exaggeration. The series runs five seasons across sixty-three episodes of roughly eighteen minutes each, with a continuing story rather than standalone stories. Its tone is breezy, playful and light, with a comedic energy that keeps returning to the gap between divine power and teenage awkwardness. Fans of Saiki K, One Punch Man and xianxia fantasy will find the same mix of overpowered hero and mundane comedy, delivered in a modern Chinese high school setting.
