Chen Guan transmigrates to another world and is reborn as one of a farmer's five kinds of livestock. After five lifetimes of reincarnation and endless mortal suffering, he is finally reborn as a human.
Fortunately, the Book of a Hundred Lives came with him when he transmigrated. At the end of each lifetime, it grants him a trait.
In his first life, Chen Guan is born as a pig in a farmyard. He is fattened up nice and plump, then slaughtered just before the New Year. Trait gained: Gluttony.
In his second life, Chen Guan is born as a chicken on a farm. He crows diligently every day, while a top scholar celebrates his success by slaughtering a chicken after ten years of hard study. Trait gained: Nocturnal.
In his third life, Chen Guan is born as a sheep caught by a hunter. The hunter's wife is gravely ill, and the sheep can be sold for meat while its wool can be made into clothes. Trait gained: Refined Kidney.
In his fourth life, Chen Guan is born as the village chief's dog. He loyally guards the home and drives away thieves and petty crooks, but in the end, death comes for him. Trait gained: Keen Scent.
In his fifth life, Chen Guan is born as an ox under the jurisdiction of the village headman. He plows in spring, hauls in summer, and carries loads in autumn, laboring for ten years before being skinned and eaten after death. Trait gained: Ox Strength.
In his sixth life... Chen Guan is born human. He tempers his body, joins the City Patrol Office, and uses the traits of the five beasts to capture criminals and villains, slay demons and banish the uncanny, until at last he glimpses the secret of immortality!
The writing is very good, but can you not write the enemy to be in the same realm as yourself every time? How can you be chased by others in a cheating realm?
The five animal entries accumulated in the first five lives have made Chen Guan the sixth generation of young talents.
I like this genre very much, especially the description of martial arts. Other novels just brush it off.
