An ancient copper coin changes one person’s fate; nine cycles of reincarnation bear witness to two thousand years of upheaval.
Chen Qiong, a modern young man buried in debt and working a low-paying job in an urban village, saves a mysterious old beggar and gains the divine mantle of the God of Poverty. From then on, he is forced to travel through the Qin and Han, Tang and Song, Yuan and Ming, the late Qing, the Republic of China, and finally the present day. He is born into abject poverty in every life and must claw his way up from nothing through wit and hard work.
But fate is cruel. Just when he manages to escape poverty, war, natural disasters, and conspiracies strike one after another, reducing him to nothing and sending him into his next cycle. Stranger still, the reincarnation of the same woman always appears in his life: from Qin Yun to A Yun, from Yun Yun to Hua Yun... She shares nine lifetimes of joy and sorrow with him, yet each time she dies in his arms.
Through a thousand years of struggle, Chen Qiong gradually uncovers the truth: he bears the mission of the God of Poverty and must fight the God of Greed, who devours the world. He witnesses the widening gap between rich and poor across successive dynasties: the struggle to survive amid the chaos at the end of the Qin, the seizure of land during the prosperous reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the dark side beneath the Tang dynasty’s splendor, the systemic poverty of the Jingkang era in the Northern Song, ethnic oppression beneath the Yuan cavalry, the first stirrings of capitalism amid the Ming maritime bans, the national crisis of the late Qing Opium War, revolutionary awakening amid the chaos of the Republic, the ideals and realities after the founding of the People’s Republic, and the growing pains of the reforms and opening up...
It's not very good-looking, but it's full of hope. Did I come here just to watch videos? It is said that this book is full of loneliness, but at least the male protagonist is accompanied by the female protagonist. In fact, it also reflects that in every era, there are poor people struggling at the bottom. Being poor is indeed terrible, but what is even more terrible is losing hope.
Previously, xhs recommended the book "Two Thousand Years of Pauper". I read it and found it to be very average. After reading dozens of chapters, I quit, and then I picked up this book on Tomato. This book is much better than that one. Although the textual research of many eras is not detailed, the story is interesting, the word count is not bad, and the theme is also very good. It is a good book to read in your free time.
Yes, the one by Sister Nan that I read before was also good-looking and very bloody. This one has a good idea.
To be honest, the writing style may not be the best, but the author's ideas and the stories inside are very attractive to me, and the emotions conveyed are full of hope and invincible.
Wonderful, very good content, although very unpopular
It's quite interesting to read, it's refreshed every time I'm reborn, and the plot is well written.
It's amazing. It's not popular but it's really good-looking. The story is really good, everyone.
Although it is short, the connotation expressed is particularly good
