Spendthrift son + mountain-foraging System + farming + family life + lighthearted + wish fulfillment + shameless
Other people transmigrate and become princes. Chen Qiong opens his eyes to find he’s become a spendthrift in ancient times!
His grandparents favor the rich and look down on the poor. His snobbish uncle’s family causes a scene to split the household, leaving Chen Qiong’s family with three mu of poor farmland and three shabby thatched huts.
Facing his gentle father, simplehearted mother, and two young sisters, the spendthrift slaps the table and declares, “Our family’s about to come into a fortune, so we’ll take it!”
“Ding! Congratulations, you’ve obtained the Mountain Foraging System!”
“System Shop now open. Mountain bounty map loaded. Explore to your heart’s content!”
From then on, pheasants and rabbits go straight into his pockets, while prized ganoderma and ginseng gleam like gold. Packs of wolves and tigers tremble at the sight of Chen Qiong.
With baskets full of precious medicinal herbs in the corner, Chen Qiong sips ginseng duck soup. “Dad, go pass the imperial exam and become the top scholar. Your son will support you, so don’t worry about the cost.”
“Mom, would you rather have a big brick house with a tiled roof, or twenty mu of good farmland?”
“Sis, do you want to be an empress or a princess consort? Your big brother will find you a match.”
Chen Qiong’s family thrives, while his grandparents beat their chests and beg to be recognized as relatives again. Chen Qiong smiles and pulls out the household-splitting agreement. “You two were the ones who insisted we leave. Now we’ve got money and a house and want for nothing. Life is great!”
This is incredibly toxic; it's ridiculous. Anyone who wants to harm the protagonist's family must have connections—they can manipulate beggars and bandits alike. He pretends not to see his cousin deliberately tipping off the bandits. All he does is try to gain an advantage with his sharp tongue. A few lines might be interesting, but doesn't he get tired of it all the time?
As we all guessed, the prince falls for the protagonist's sister. How miserable must this prince's life be, falling for a country girl?
The male lead always uses effeminate gestures? What's going on?
The main character is so loud and jumpy, it's exhausting to watch.
I don't understand why this kind of thing is in male-oriented content.
A classic female-oriented novel, but unfortunately not my cup of tea.
Unique writing style
It's a good read; the writing is light and witty, and it's great for passing the time.
The author's writing style is witty and humorous, and the characters are vividly portrayed. It's lighthearted and entertaining. There are just too few chapters yet; looking forward to more from the author! 👍
The family that harmed the protagonist is still alive after 70 chapters. The protagonist is incredibly patient; after plotting to kidnap his sister and scheme against his father, the whole family is still unharmed.
