   This is a direct slap in the face to anyone who thinks novels without romance are bad! This fantasy masterpiece has absolutely no love lines, no melodramatic romance, just pure bravado and career advancement—the sheer enjoyment is divine! "The Immortal Emperor's Fate I Fabricated Was Taken Seriously by the Entire Immortal Realm" truly subverts conventional wisdom! Two top-tier spoiled brats of the Yuanjian Sect are locked in a fierce battle, with no elders or disciples daring to intervene, their arrogance unchecked. Yet, with just a single sentence—"Disturbing His Highness the Young Emperor"—the two troublemakers instantly fall silent, fleeing in disarray. Everyone, from elders to disciples, is filled with awe for this mysterious young emperor. No one knows that the top figure revered as a reincarnated Immortal Emperor by the entire sect, enshrined in the forbidden area of ​​Immortal King Peak, is actually just a lazy, aimless youth! No melodramatic love-hate entanglements, no sentimental or tragic romance plots! The protagonist's casually fabricated Immortal Emperor's fate is taken seriously by the entire Immortal Realm, revered by thousands and worshipped by hundreds of peaks. The entire story revolves around the protagonist's seemingly invincible strength, his laid-back attitude, and his passive rise to godhood! The sect members are wildly imagining his incredible power, carefully offering him countless sacrifices, while the protagonist simply watches and wins without lifting a finger. A clean, no-romance story, pure fantasy of a protagonist's rise to power, daily sect life, and everyone's help in achieving godhood.

   Reader note

   Say goodbye to those who say novels without romance are bad! "Rebooting 98" is the absolute pinnacle of period rebirth novels. Completely devoid of romance or melodramatic love lines, it focuses solely on career, protecting family, and changing fate—it's incredibly addictive! The middle-aged protagonist, Lu Lin, lived a miserable and unsuccessful first half of his life. In 1998, his marriage was maliciously broken up by the snobbish village chief, who humiliated him and caused his entire family to be ostracized by the village, missing out on the immense wealth from the village's precious gemstone mines. He wasted twenty years of his life at the bottom of society. Reborn with endless regrets, he returns to the turning point of his life in 1998! Just then, the village chief comes to cause trouble, publicly trampling on his dignity. Facing the ridicule and cold stares of the crowd, Lu Lin completely awakens and fights back. He abandons his cowardly past, publicly promising an exorbitant dowry, vowing to turn the tables! With the golden finger of his past life's memories, he discovers the hidden, incredibly valuable mineral wealth beneath the village. This novel features zero romantic entanglements and no melodramatic love stories; the main plot is clean and concise. The male protagonist is single-mindedly focused on protecting his surviving parents, slapping the faces of snobbish villagers and an awful village chief, seizing opportunities of the times, frantically making money and building a career, and rewriting his family's tragic fate. It's a pure career-driven rebirth and counterattack story, brimming with the atmosphere of the era, packed with satisfying revenge moments, and a fast-paced money-making spree. Even without a romantic subplot, it's still a masterpiece, far surpassing many mindless romance novels!
