[Regret and Redemption + Comedy + Face-Slapping]
The protagonist, Lin Fan, transmigrates and discovers that his golden finger is a useless “Child-Doting System.”
Without relying on the System, he still becomes a titled Emperor after ten thousand years and establishes a top-tier sect.
After becoming invincible, he conceals his true identity and settles in the Eastern Wasteland. He takes a woman as his Dao companion, and they have two daughters and a son. After the children are born, the System nags him every day, but Lin Fan ignores it.
His reason: “You want me to dote on the kids? Wouldn’t that ruin the foundations of the Lin family? You can’t spoil children!”
Who could have guessed that his beloved was a descendant of the Wu Clan, tormented by a forbidden curse for ten thousand years? She had children with Lin Fan so she could use a bloodline secret art to transfer her curse to their own children, escape unscathed, and free herself from its burden. In the end, she heartlessly abandoned her husband and children and left without a word.
To save his children, Lin Fan investigates the Wu Clan’s secrets using his sect’s resources, while continuing to raise them frugally. But his stingy parenting methods repeatedly happen to align with the “Child-Doting System,” triggering rewards again and again. Confident in himself, Lin Fan pays no attention and even argues with the System: “Everything I have comes from my own hard work. What use do I have for you?”
Only after discovering that the curse cannot be undone and that the System is the only way to cure it does he reluctantly join forces with it to raise the children, beginning a funny yet heartwarming story…
Not a single person attended that woman’s coronation, while the same day saw a packed house at Lin Fan’s youngest son’s coming-of-age ceremony…
That woman wanted to restore the Wu Clan and chose the impoverished lands of the Eastern Wasteland as her first target. But she found that her sect’s army had been routed by villagers from a remote settlement…
…
“I had my reasons too… Boohoo…”
After reading a few chapters, I don't really like this kind of poverty-stricken story.
