Name: Chosen One: I'm a Workhorse at Bureau 749
Author: Long Linli

Synopsis

He is one of the Chosen from the start, but this Chosen One seems to have a rather rotten streak of luck. His restaurant failed, leaving him a million yuan in debt. Loan sharks are at his door, and his girlfriend is arranging a blind date.

A jade cabbage and a flash of white light bring the male lead into the world of Bureau 749.

The first thing he asks is: “Do you provide meals? Is there a salary? Do you offer social insurance and a housing fund? Is it a 996 schedule? Do I have to work overtime on holidays?”

On his first mission, he somehow gets mistaken for the site of a Northern Song official porcelain kiln.

On his second, the leader of the Tushan Fox Clan insists she will marry him and no one else.

On his third, a bizarre song about “what your father’s father is called” starts playing at a martial arts tournament in Chang’an.

On his fourth, the ancient ferocious beast Xiangliu becomes Li Chao’s son.

The fifth, the sixth, the Nth mission…

Each one is more absurd and outlandish than the last.

Yuanshi Tianzun is Li Chao’s junior nephew, the Goddess Nuwa is his senior sister, Jiang Ziya’s son has three teeth knocked out by Li Chao’s child, Wuzhiqi is his nephew, Amaterasu is his nephew’s wife, and the eight-headed serpent gets pickled in wine. Even more unbelievably, after a drug-induced mutation, Conan becomes Li Chao’s son Xiangliu’s child bride, while a prince of Japan becomes the in-law of Li Chao’s family and seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Li Chao himself. Everything is a mess, a complete uproar…

Jiang Jingyun, leader of the Tushan Fox Clan, takes him as her husband. Yao Ji, the Goddess of Wushan reborn as Tian Fei, takes him as her cultivation partner. Even his devoted girlfriend, Wu Tong, awakens as Wuluo in the Investiture of the Gods world.

The mystery of his origins lies hidden in the ancient Mount Goulou Stele. He must visit all eight ancient capitals, explore ancient ruins, suppress thousand-year-old demons, and deal with all manner of extraordinary people. He has to go to heaven and earth and do it all.

Urban fantasy, lighthearted comedy, Classic of Mountains and Seas, city life, multiple heroines, all-rounder

Books to Read Before Bed

When I have nothing to do before bed, I feel like reading for a while. Are there any books that are easy to fall asleep to, but don’t have a boring plot? I love that feeling of nodding off while reading, then waking up in the morning and picking right back up where I left off.
