You Abandoned Me as a Child, So Begging Me on Your Knees Won’t Help

After transmigrating to a parallel timeline in the 1970s, Jiang Xubai discovers that each of his parents has someone else they love. They married for luck and family ties. When Great-Grandma dies, his parents promptly divorce and each rushes off to pursue their own love. Once again, he becomes an orphan nobody wants. On the day he finds a job at sixteen, his parents demand that he go to the countryside in place of their “stepson” and “stepdaughter.” Just then, the jade gourd he happened to find opens, granting him access to a Daoist medicine training base from a parallel universe. Jiang Xubai calmly sits down and says, “I don’t mind going to the countryside, but you have to agree to three conditions.” “First, we cut ties.” “Second, compensate me for what I’ll go through in the countryside, and handle the other side’s family estrangement too.” “Third, get out of my house, stepmother and ‘stepfather.’”
