After losing his job, programmer Gu Yunlong can no longer keep up with the rat race in the city, so he returns to his hometown and decides to lie flat.
One day, he decides to plant an osmanthus tree in the overgrown backyard. One swing of the hoe, and, clang! A flash of gold.
At first, he thinks he’s unearthed a family heirloom. Then he discovers the garden is basically a “wishing pit”: one day it coughs up gold, the next a magnifying glass that can appraise objects, and the day after that a newspaper showing the future.
Only Gu Yunlong knows the secret, and he decides to keep a low profile and quietly make a fortune.
By day, he’s just another young man in town. By night, he’s a “garden player.”
Until one day, he digs up a door. Behind it stands a white-bearded old man who calls himself the “Garden Administrator” and tells him, “Young man, what you’ve dug up isn’t treasure. It’s a bug in the universe…”
The author's writing is good, but there should be as few female protagonists as possible. I like Geng Wangshu. It would be best if there is only one of her.
The story is novel, the plot is rigorous, the protagonist is not brainless, the heroine is not a vase, but the pace is a bit slow
The author's writing style is very good, not brainless, and beautiful.
