Synopsis

Nangong Wushuang graduated two months ago but still hasn’t found a job. His girlfriend even dumped him, climbing into a rich heir’s Mercedes and driving away. In a foul mood, he left the city to clear his head, only to unexpectedly inherit the Land God’s legacy: the art of turning stones into gold.

The Land God, who had waited over a thousand years for an heir, turned out to be a chatterbox. He talked for so long that his soul unexpectedly dispersed before he could finish passing on the art, leaving Nangong Wushuang with only four of its five stages: inspection, fusion, shaping, and purification. He missed out on the most crucial final stage, turning things into gold. Nangong Wushuang thought this incomplete art would be useless, but it proved extraordinarily effective in gambling on jade, appraising wood, and identifying antiques. Even more astonishingly, one day he had a sudden inspiration and used the art on himself. By fusing and purifying a cat’s genes, he made his punches three times faster than a professional boxer’s. By fusing his eyes with an eagle’s, he greatly improved his vision. And that wasn’t all: he opened a high-priced, surgery-free cosmetic clinic that could make any part of a woman’s body bigger or smaller, reshape faces and figures, erase eye bags and wrinkles, and tighten skin. He could make long-distance runners faster and high jumpers leap higher. Best of all, the art could be passed down. And so, a powerful business dynasty was born.

Male-Oriented Period Novels About the 1958–1963 Famine, Not Female-Oriented Ones

As the title says, no female-oriented fiction, no female-oriented fiction. I want something with a warm, everyday atmosphere and no saintly protagonist. Most importantly, no courtyard-household drama, and none of those bizarre residents from the courtyard.

Fellow Courtyard Novel Fans, Recommend Some Books That Actually Make Sense

Honestly, those courtyard-house novels use the period as a thin cover for an alternate-history setting. They're not really about what happened in the courtyard itself. A lot of the writers still haven't grasped the point.
