I Run a Scrap Recycling Center in the Stars

Two male leads + equally matched + no angst Zhi Xia, heir to the only powerful aristocratic family in the Federation, was maneuvered into an arranged marriage by his father after the family patriarch, Old Master Zhi, was hospitalized. He went along with it, never expecting to enter a lightning marriage with the Empire’s Fourth Prince, the Federation’s shining star, after they turned out to be a 100% match. After the wedding, he left the family business alone and opened a scrap recycling shop. The public mocked him, saying he lacked ambition and was unworthy of the Federation’s shining star. He paid them no mind. Every day, he advertised his scrap recycling shop and tinkered with the “trash” he collected. Then he successfully found a way to reuse discarded energy potions, cracked the forbidden drug that enhanced mental attacks, and discovered a treatment for mental domain outbreaks. He even solved the century-old problem of the neighboring Star-Defending Empire’s crown prince’s younger brother, who had lost his right arm and could no longer connect to a mecha. And all of this was actually the work of Zhi Xia, the very man they’d been mocking?! What now? It seemed they couldn’t laugh at him anymore. Turns out I was the real clown all along?! Father Zhi, please, I’m begging you, give me a dose of energy potion! And a vial of medicine! As the energy potions and medicines the public clamored for sold better and better, Zhi Xia made a fortune while transforming his scrap recycling shop beyond recognition. You ask whether, despite his successful career, he’s unlucky in love? What a joke! Haven’t you seen how the Fourth Prince’s adoring gaze practically overflows with affection?! That’s what a real winner in life looks like!!! The Federation’s shining star, the devoted Fourth Prince Alpha top × the resourceful, versatile aristocratic Beta bottom One-on-one, happy ending
