(A growth-focused ordinary-mortal story, with no melodrama or characters acting stupid. Every character is carefully developed. The early chapters lay the groundwork, so the plot may feel slow and uneventful at first. Please be patient as you read.)
My name is Qiu Luo, and I love a good banquet!!!
After transmigrating into the body of a starving beggar, Qiu Luo sets out on the path to immortality, determined to make sure his little sister never goes hungry and to escape the undercurrents constantly swirling around him. His only guide is a fragmentary cultivation manual left behind by an old beggar on his deathbed.
He founds the Beggars' Guild, opens a grand restaurant, beats up a few people, and enjoys a few banquets. When money runs short, he resells a few songs and recites poetry, puts on a few fashion shows, occasionally promotes some fishnet stockings, and even uses a little Huazi and Royal Salute to bluff people.
(Transmigration + farming + ordinary-mortal story.) Fellow cultivators who prefer fast-paced, formulaic wish-fulfillment stories, please look elsewhere.
That's true, just don't be a saint. It's a good thing the protagonist's name was changed, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand it!
