To Raise My Daughter, I Turned a Barren Mountain into a Fairyland

“Get involved in other people’s business and you’ll lose years off your life. Raising a kid will ruin my plans to laze around until I die.”

Ji Qinglin has just returned to his old home in the mountain village, ready to give up and do nothing, when he finds a baby girl nearly frozen beneath the roots of an old tree.

Seeing the little girl whimper with hunger, he has no choice but to open his run-down shop, whose balance is zero.

To earn money for formula, he livestreams himself selling grapes.

A hater sneers, “Are you kidding, streamer? You grafted them without putting up a greenhouse. The grapes are all going to die!”

Ji Qinglin says nothing and pulls out a drawer full of globally exclusive agricultural invention patents and top-grade professional certifications.

An expert scoffs, “How could an artificial greenhouse possibly grow seedless Emerald grapes with cancer-fighting properties?”

The next day, a national agricultural academician charters a plane overnight and rushes into the mountains. He collapses in the mud, tears streaming down his face. “Mr. Ji, please stop hiding your talents. Come out of the mountains and be our chief scientist!”

Top business tycoons line up at the village entrance holding checks worth hundreds of billions, all hoping to get a bunch of grapes to improve their health.

As the entire internet watches in a frenzy and all kinds of bigwigs bow down before him,

Ji Qinglin expertly mixes formula for his daughter, his face utterly resigned.

“Could you all stop making things up? I’m really just a lazy guy raising a kid!”
