I Transmigrate into Ne Zha: This Time, I Refuse to Be the Demon Child

After waking up, modern homebody Li Luo finds himself transformed into the demon child Nezha, sucking on a pacifier, with an unreliable “Defy Fate System” thrown in for good measure.

To escape his destiny of being struck by lightning three years from now, he has no choice but to resort to all sorts of outrageous schemes: cooking hot pot with Samadhi True Fire, teaching Taiyi Zhenren to play Honor of Kings, and turning an alchemy furnace into a quantum computer.

But the plot keeps veering further off course. Ao Bing sneaks into Heaven in women's clothes and gets proposed to by the Jade Emperor. A cloned Nezha livestreams sales and calls him “knockoff bro.” Even the alchemy furnace's AI awakens with a lovesick streak, reenacting a tragic human-machine romance with Mechanical Ao Bing every day!

The Jade Emperor showers Heaven with 996-style blessings, while Nuwa's digital avatar keeps urging everyone to update the world's code.

Nezha angrily hurls his bottle to the floor. “I thought this was about defying fate. How did it turn into Heaven's demolition crew?”

Ao Bing silently hands him a sledgehammer. “Let's tear off this lousy roof. Hot pot's on me.”
