   The Chosen Savior Only Wants to Deliver Takeout: Lin Bei, a takeout rider burdened with online loans and living in a partitioned room, is one day bound to a system claiming to be the "Chosen Savior," because his soul contains 0.03% Of a fragment of the Creator God—the highest value among all humanity. But instead of being excited and shedding tears, or readily accepting his fate, he calmly asks the system: "Can we talk after I finish this order of braised chicken rice?" The Sharp-Tongued Grandma Reborn as an Idol: A 73-year-old retired Chinese teacher is reborn as a high school girl, forced to participate in a talent show, using classical Chinese to insult the judges, winning the center position with square dancing, and the entire internet begging for her to debut. The Underworld Godfather's Elementary School Classroom: The code of the underworld meets the art of education; an underworld godfather crosses over to become a homeroom teacher—this is an absurd legend about redemption, inheritance, and contrast, and also a heartwarming story of a "bad guy" using the rest of his life to do the right thing. Mr. Gu, did you find the Night Emperor today?! Synopsis: Shen Yan, once feared throughout the underworld as the "Night Emperor," quietly retired after a major battle three years ago. He moved into a villa in Beicheng with his two cats, becoming the gentle and adorable "Softie Brother" in a pet livestream. He thought he could escape the past forever, living a peaceful life with cats and livestreaming. Until one early morning, his nemesis—Gu Shenzhi, the head of the Gu Group—accidentally stumbled upon his livestream. That cool yet gentle voice instantly awakened memories he had frantically searched for for three years. An eight-year-long feud, a meticulously planned conspiracy, and a "puppet master" lurking nearby pull the two back onto the chessboard of fate. When twenty assassins raid the villa at night, when the traitor reveals his true colors, when the truth is peeled back layer by layer—Shen Yan discovers that the past he thought he could bury has never truly left. But this is not just a story of blades and bloodshed. It's also about how an orange cat named Nian Gao, through a chance glance, teaches a scarred man to rediscover trust and love. This is a story about the journey home—from darkness to dawn, from loneliness to warmth, from one person to a group of people. [Smirk]
