Yu Yan is a man no one can see through.
Because his face was Nuwa's masterpiece, while his brain... Nuwa forgot to make it.
*
He has the most incredible cheat in the empire: dreams that connect directly to the 21st century. But with too little memory in his brain, he can only remember half of what he sees in his dreams. And because his cerebellum's signals are too weak, he mistakes the dreamscapes for the Heavenly Palace, and from then on, firmly believes the outrageous rumor that he is the reincarnation of a phoenix.
He tells his father that vacuum-sealing tea leaves keeps them fresh. His father promptly has the servants suck air out of the pottery tea jar until their cheeks cramp, but the tea still goes moldy.
He tells his brother-in-law that heating natural glass to 1,400 degrees Celsius will turn it into colored glass. His brother-in-law doesn't understand what "Celsius" means, and can't find any glass deposits either. He invests most of his fortune in the endeavor, full of enthusiasm, only to end up with two lumps of charcoal.
After enough incidents like these, Yu Yan becomes the lunatic everyone in Pingchang Prefecture hates, even the dogs.
Only he himself has no idea.
*
Lou Baichuan is the richest man in the empire and an abandoned son of the royal family.
He has good looks, money, brains, and a condition.
He has enjoyed everything there is to enjoy, and nothing interests him anymore, until he meets Yu Yan.
Never before has anyone made Lou Baichuan think... that someone could be so incredibly stupid.
When he hears that Yu Yan has been kidnapped to Pingkang Lane, he disguises himself as a client and goes there. He deliberately tells their friends and family what happened in Pingkang Lane, trampling on the noble destiny Yu Yan cherishes most. He even deliberately piles rare treasures in front of Yu Yan,
all just to savor his expressions as they swing from shock to astonishment.
*
After a while, Lou Baichuan grows bored and gets ready to witness the legendary moment when the little phoenix falls to earth and turns into a barnyard chicken.
But just as he walks up to Yu Yan, he accidentally steps on a leaf from a Qing Wang grapevine and gets his own left cheek imprinted on Yu Yan's palm.
Lou Baichuan looks at the hand that slapped him... and only wants to pick it up and kiss it.
At last, he understands: his person, his heart, and his money are all about to be completely ruined.
[Bonus Scene]
Lately, Yu Yan has grown more and more outrageous.
Just to grow grapes no one's ever even heard of, he cut down the entire bamboo grove at the Lou residence, which cost a fortune!
He even sliced up the priceless Imperial Rate jadeite and handed it all out to the neighbors, without leaving a single piece for Lou Baichuan.
Even the servants can't stand how awful this is! They go to report him to Lou Baichuan, but before they can say a word, they see Lou Baichuan turn his head slightly.
The delicate red handprint on his face is perfectly clear...
Servants: We get it! He's spoiled! You deserved that slap!
[The following is the novel blurb. This is, at its core, a silly comedy, meant to make you smile.]
Note: There is no older sister. The top hired an actress to play one.
Shen Ye's lifelong goal is to pay off his mortgage.
The good news: He doesn't have to pay it off anymore.
The bad news: He's dead...
Luckily, after being reborn, he gets a new identity: the younger brother-in-law of the strongest commander in the interstellar era.
In short, a well-connected nobody.
He thought he could throw his weight around as The Outcast, just one step below the top, but unexpectedly, a mountain forcibly binds itself to him!
Buzhou Mountain: "Go catch ghosts. Zhouzhou's hungry!"
Shen Ye, dumbfounded: "Huh? Me?"
After they are bound together, Shen Ye discovers three things:
1. Buzhou Mountain is a coward, but plants that can drive away ghosts grow on it.
2. Plants are incredibly expensive in this world!
3. Plants can only grow on ghost corpses...
Shen Ye, greedy but with zero combat ability: ...Damn it, fate is messing with me!!!
Faced with Buzhou Mountain chirping in his head all day, demanding food, Shen Ye decides to latch onto his brother-in-law.
Shen Ye (acting pitifully): "Brother-in-law, everyone says I'm a good-for-nothing!"
Xie Songnian: "Don't worry, you're not."
Shen Ye: "You're such a qualified brother-in-law! I agree to this marriage!"
Xie Songnian: "I mean, where did you get a sister?"
Shen Ye: ...???
Serious blurb:
In the year 3000 of the interstellar era, ghostly fog runs rampant, plants have lost all their radiance, and humanity has nowhere left to live.
Shen Ye, a modern-day wage slave, transmigrates and becomes bound to Buzhou Mountain. Plants shimmer on the mountain, and ghosts give them a wide berth.
Recently, a rumor has been spreading like wildfire:
A god has emerged from the fog. For one monster's arm, he will give you a seed. If you collect all the monster's flesh and blood, you can even exchange it for an entire plant! Enough to keep a family safe for ten years!
The people of the interstellar era at first:
"What, monster limbs can be exchanged for life-saving plants? Sorry, this is a head, not a butt."
But later, things get a little strange.
Someone carries a sickle and ventures alone into the darkness. The army sets clever traps to capture the ten-eyed spider monster.
"Spider monsters are a sustainable resource. Remove their legs and put them back, and they'll grow new ones in time."
Shen Ye, lounging in an outrageously luxurious villa: "Monster corpses? I'm not taking them anymore! Need plants? Pay me for them!!!"
#Only after wealth and splendor, not a shred of true affection#
But who could have known that the very next day, he would top the interstellar trending charts?
[Why Did the Interstellar Supreme Commander Steal Ghost Corpses in the Middle of the Night!]
The Xie family army responds:
[Netizens should mind their own business. Their commander is hot on the chase, has won the beauty's embrace, and is bringing 3,000 in wedding gifts.]

2025/10.11
Theme: People can overcome fate
Finished spreading flowers! The ending is a bit too fast, there aren't enough extras, and the relationship progress isn't as good as Dzogchen, so it's okay.
Gone again. I stocked up and finished reading it. It looks good. It looks good.
I wish everyone happiness and peace in 2026, and don't forget there will be a lucky draw on the 1.2Nd 😆
Week after week ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!
I feel so sad to let go. It's over. It's beautiful.
Very miserable hahahahahaha

The most familiar stranger laughs to death
