    Highly recommend this one! It's a total power fantasy with no female lead, focusing solely on developing strength. There are no awkward moments; it's all about showcasing the protagonist's power and wisdom. It's a growth story, not a typical overpowered protagonist from the start. The first book is about beast taming; the male protagonist transmigrates into a game he used to play, is familiar with various evolutionary paths that don't yet exist, and is incredibly skilled at making elixirs. He not only has a four-winged divine bird but also a fire-type nine-tailed fox, a golden lion roar, and other spirit beasts. It's not boring and has a high score. The second book is also highly recommended! It's the book that got me hooked on Tomato (a popular Taiwanese writer). The protagonist's talent effect is "As long as you rebel against the rules, the rules have no effect on you." There are all sorts of hilarious antics. He's both powerful and intelligent, yet humorous. Later on, if he finds something strange, he just slaps it. There's really no angst.

"Take it! Get away from Miss Qingyu immediately!" The sandalwood table clattered as the heavy bundle was hurled to the ground by the steward. His mouth wasn't properly sealed, and stacks of crimson silver notes rolled out, splattering onto Lu Xing's old, gray robe. Lu Xing didn't even lift his eyelashes, his fingertips expertly tracing the edges of the notes, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips: "A gambling father, an alcoholic mother, a sister constantly brewing medicine—isn't all that's left a broken man?" His voice lingered, a mixture of singing and lamenting, making the room filled with gold and jade seem all the more absurd. The steward's face turned ashen, and he stormed off. The carved doors slammed shut, shutting out the world of wealth outside. A mountain of silver notes lay on the table, their gleaming red light illuminating half of the young man's calm profile. His fingertips mechanically traced the chilling thickness of the notes, but his movement abruptly froze in mid-air. The words "without Miss Qingyu" pierced his ears like an ice pick. He abruptly looked up at the closed door, a fleeting emptiness and bewilderment he himself didn't even notice flashing in his eyes. His lips moved silently: "From now on... I don't need to care about her anymore?" This thought triggered a flood of fragmented images that suddenly broke through his defenses—a cold winter night, when she angrily kicked over the charcoal brazier in the warm room, scattering red shards. He braved the biting frosty wind, scaling the high wall to forcefully shove the warm jade hand warmer he carried into her icy palm; when she caught a cold and complained about the bitter medicine, she capriciously overturned the low table, spilling the medicine. He always managed to magically produce candied fruit coated in frosting from his sleeve, coaxing a hint of spoiled sweetness to melt away her furrowed brows. Outside the window, snowflakes began to fall, finely wetting the boy's long, raven-feather-like eyelashes. He stood there alone, his fingertips unconsciously reaching into his robes, touching the still-warm apricot blossom cakes he'd bought that morning—from her favorite old shop. The wind and snow tapped against the window; the silver notes on the table were shockingly red. The young man's figure stood alone, as if he'd forgotten how to turn around. The contract was broken, a fortune bought back the past. But no one could buy back the dawns and dusks already etched into his very bones. As the golden leaves drifted down from his fingertips, his heart, already fed with golden scales, how could he possibly extricate himself?

    This is a system-based, action-packed novel with no female lead. The protagonist never experiences failure, and the system setting is quite novel and incredibly satisfying!!
