Reborn as Liu Yanchang: I Won’t Be a Kept Man 重生刘彦昌，不做软饭王
The story unfolds at a somewhat slow but deliberate pace, so I hope you’ll read patiently. It won’t disappoint. To me, novels are like wine. I prefer baijiu: the older it gets, the better it tastes. Beer may be easy to drink, but once it’s gone, it’s gone. To each their own. This is a strange and fantastical world built around The Lotus Lantern, with inspiration drawn from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and The Legend of the White Snake. The protagonist transmigrates and is reborn as Liu Ya
