Synopsis

[Dual male leads + another world + food + sweet and lighthearted romance + everyday world-building]

After getting revenge for his great grudge, Chu Shiyi raises a glass of wine to the moon and says, “Cheers.”

Then he transmigrates.

The other world resembles a medieval Western fantasy setting. Chu Shiyi arrives there in his own body, with no memories or knowledge passed down to him. Surrounded by danger, he’s completely at a loss.

With no other choice, he falls back on his old profession. Using the acting skills he honed in the entertainment industry, he pretends to be a nobleman, a lovesick romantic, and a gentleman, hoping to secure a legitimate identity and somewhere to live first.

In private, Chu Shiyi is penny-pinching, wants nothing but to enjoy himself and eat every kind of delicious food, hates hardship, and lacks a sense of security. He farms and grows flowers, castrates and raises pigs, stockpiles food and land, and does a bit of everything.

He also finds the strongest mercenary to serve as his bodyguard, takes in desperate goblins to build him a villa, and raises a puppy that can find treasure and herd animals.

He thought that with his little golden finger, he could make the best of being in another world and be content as a small-time farm owner. Who knew his bodyguard would betray him and sneak away?

Hah. Then he can’t blame Chu Shiyi for doing everything in his power to teach him a lasting lesson.

A seemingly gentlemanly, actually sly and self-serving human bottom with superb acting skills x a powerful wolf-clan top, the Flame of Eternal Night, who is devoted, restrained, and good at convincing himself he’s in love

I cook the niche dishes I personally enjoy. If they’re not to your taste, there’s no need to tell me. Just pick something else from the menu.

(Please note: the very first words of the synopsis are “dual male leads.” If you wandered in by mistake, please leave.)

I really enjoyed the sweet romance in this book by Lao Si, and the story was fresh and original. The protagonist's "space cheat" (a powerful, overpowered ability to manipulate the world) was as extravagant as ever. However, in this book, the male lead seems to start out as a background character, giving off the impression of a henchman or bodyguard.

So delicious! It's a pity this story is still immature, with the guilt of being an underage writer (><). The author's writing is so pleasant, I'm going to read other stories, this kind of setting is so good!

Currently on par with the original story, I recommend it to fans of medieval settings, low magic levels, and magical creatures, including elements of infrastructure development, delicious food, and furry friends. I really like the protagonist's personality; he respects others, has suffered himself, and protects others, even though he says he's doing it for personal gain—his actions speak louder…

What a new book!! So efficient and happy 🥳 I made a huge blunder, assuming the puppy was the dominant one, I laughed so hard I almost fainted. So beautiful, so delicious! I'm drooling! 🤤 The writing is as good as ever, I can't wait to see how the story unfolds. It's absolutely gorgeous! 🥰🥰🥰 Everyone come and see it!!!

Having read a third of it, here are the points that resonated with me: 1. Genre: Dual male protagonists, otherworldly, superpowered, infrastructure building ✔️ 2. Male lead: He's the type of character I can immerse myself in; he's elegant (or rather, a very good person) – not vulgar, doesn't swear casually, and doesn't overreact.

Some readers felt that the White Wizard's hostility towards the protagonist in the first twenty or thirty chapters, coupled with the protagonist's continued assistance, wasn't out of sainthood but rather driven by self-interest. When one has nothing, seeking fortune through danger is perfectly normal; it's what makes a normal person.

This book is quite good. Maybe it's the title that bothered me, but it kept popping up in front of me several times while I was reading it. The title made me feel a little uncomfortable, so I didn't click on it. Later, out of boredom, I picked it up and was pleasantly surprised. The content is quite exciting; it's just the title that bothered me, but the content is fantastic. If you're looking for short stories about farming and lordship with two male leads, this is the one for you.

It's very good-looking; a rating of 9 or higher would be more appropriate. The ending felt a bit rushed. Well, the plot near the end, if not a rocket ride, at least a high-speed train ride. Overall, highly recommended! 💕

Time travel, Western fantasy, farming and infrastructure building, protagonist with a space and cheat codes, normal values, magical worldview, multi-race continent, mindless and enjoyable novel, readable writing style, although the ending is abrupt, the storyline is complete, and there's even a modern-day side story as compensation (I'm so happy!), Highly recommended!
