[Unconventional political drama + absolutely no rat race + stealing the spotlight + hypocritical villain + laid-back delusions]
After working himself to death in his previous life, Long Yuan transmigrates into the university-era setting of In the Name of the People, in Handong. All he wants is to be a clearheaded slacker.
He figures he can use his foreknowledge to find an easy government job, live off someone else, and coast through life until he dies.
But who could have expected that at the graduation party, Zhong Xiaai, stunningly beautiful and cold as ice, would walk right past Hou Liangping, who had carefully arranged a proposal, and take Long Yuan’s hand in front of everyone?
“The one I choose is him.”
Long Yuan is stunned. I really don’t want to work hard!
To keep living comfortably off someone else, he casually points out Hou Liangping’s hypocrisy, gives Qi Tongwei, who’s on the verge of kneeling, a way out, and draws a random circle on a map of Jingzhou...
Then, years later...
Hou Liangping turns completely evil, only to discover in despair that he can’t even reach the hem of Long Yuan’s clothes.
Qi Tongwei, who once dared to challenge fate, stands tall: “Without Mr. Long, I’d have been on my knees that rainy night!”
Gao Yuliang, Li Dakang, and the other bigwigs of Handong gasp: “Long Yuan seems lazy and uninterested in competing, but in truth he plans a hundred steps ahead with every move, using the whole world as his chessboard. Terrifying!”
Looking at the max-level bodyguards, the trillion-yuan business empire, the unshakable Handong chess game, and Zhong Xiaai, who’s fiercely protective of her husband, Long Yuan raises his teacup and sighs: “Everyone thinks I was playing some grand game, but back then, all I really wanted was to live off someone else!”
It's pretty good so far. I don't know what the follow-up will be like. I hope it won't collapse in the follow-up.
Every plot is written in great detail, which made me read it calmly.
