After a Cannon Fodder Reincarnates as the Beloved Real Young Master, He Decides to Do Nothing

1. Wen Yushi is the biggest overachiever in the Celestial Realm. Every day, he burns the candle at both ends and skips sleep and meals, opening his eyes each morning only to protect all living beings and earn merit points. He has held the top spot in the Divine Lord rankings for ages, enjoying endless glory.

Then one day, when heavenly tribulation struck, the very beings he had protected shoved him forward to die in their place.

His divine bones were stripped away, and his soul scattered.

2. The good news: he's alive.

The bad news: he woke up tens of thousands of years later.

From a former Divine Lord with flowing robes, he has become a naive, frail, and sickly freshman majoring in history.

His specialty: the history of the gods.

The very first page of his textbook describes his past "great achievements":

Divine Lord Yushi, born with divine bones, died with his soul extinguished after sacrificing himself to protect all living beings.

Beside the text is a huge portrait of him: blue-faced and fanged, thickset and broad-shouldered, holding a meteor hammer with one hand on his stout waist. He looks as if he'll climb out of the book at any moment, throw back his head, and shout, "I'm awesome!"

Wen Yushi looks up. In the mirror, his lips are red, his teeth are white, and his phoenix eyes tilt upward at the corners. In his flowing robes, he looks just as he did back then.

So, with a calm expression, he tosses this book of nonsense into the toilet.

3. Wen Yushi suspects his old nemesis deliberately smeared his reputation. After all, that guy used to roll his eyes at him and criticize his clothes and appearance.

But his old nemesis has risen too high for Wen Yushi to reach. So the former overachiever decides to get back to his old line of work: telling fortunes, catching a few little ghosts, and earning points so he can climb the rankings again and settle the score with that bastard.

But everything goes off the rails after a family reunion.

4. His billionaire father says, "You're my real son. You'll inherit a huge fortune."

Wen Yushi ignores him. "I like earning my own living."

His adoptive older brother promises, "All you have to do is lie flat. I'll handle the rest. You'll have more love and wealth than you could ever imagine."

Wen Yushi scoffs. "What's the point?"

His birth mother patiently explains, "Money makes the world go round. Our family has enough money to make you the client everyone in the cultivation world answers to."

Wen Yushi hesitates. Wen Yushi wavers. Wen Yushi is tempted.

Wen Yushi becomes a couch potato.

5. At the capital's top university, a little god from the Divine Realm who is over thirty thousand years old lectures before a packed history class.

"Back then, Divine Lord Yushi was born with divine bones, but he was too lazy to cultivate and had a strange temperament. They say he had a peculiar habit of tormenting people.

"He had no parents, no friends, and no one to rely on. Even his own master wanted nothing to do with him, so people kept their distance.

"Fortunately, he later volunteered to sacrifice himself, suppressing the tribulation with his soul and salvaging his reputation in the end."

Wen Yushi is furious and nudges the person next to him, the other party in the deal.

The other party immediately understands, flips the table, and yells, "That's all bullshit!"

"The Divine Lord devoted himself to cultivation from childhood and had a kind heart. He couldn't even bring himself to step on an ant.

"And that dog of a master was a sanctimonious hypocrite. The Divine Lord refused to associate with him!"

Wen Yushi nods with satisfaction and brags to the person beside him, "That money was well spent. The guy I hired to trash-talk them is doing great."

The other party continues, "Besides, the Divine Lord wasn't alone. He had a Daoist partner!"

Wen Yushi: ...?!

6. In modern society, gods, ghosts, immortals, and demons aren't called gods, ghosts, immortals, and demons anymore. They all belong to one agency: the Special Division of the Ministry of State Security.

The division chief, Rong Lin, is a Divine Lord who was born when heaven and earth first parted. He's said to be a refined gentleman who slays demons and upholds justice.

The person Wen Yushi hired through a ride-hailing app to verbally abuse someone works here.

The complaint from the billionaire's family is taken very seriously by the entire division. The chief announces that he'll handle it personally.

Curious about how their usually taciturn, icy-cold chief will deal with the complaint, everyone crowds around the wall, eagerly waiting to see.

Instead, they see their chief clinging shamelessly to the beautiful man's hands and slapping himself with them, all the while covering his face and wailing:

"Back then, you hugged me all the time and kept saying you missed me and wanted to see me."

"I've waited for you for tens of thousands of years, and now you won't even give me a title, and you want to file a complaint against me."

"You might as well beat me to death."

Wen Yushi glares at him in fury. "Wait, can you tell the difference between provoking someone and flirting with them?!"

A jealous attack who pines for his wife vs. a delicate, quick-tempered beauty of a shou

* A universally adored shou, truly doted on by everyone.

* A goofy, sweet story set in a modern fantasy world.

* An attack who has been widowed for tens of thousands of years recognizes his resurrected wife at first sight, and from then on, beats up his love rivals and kicks his fake mistresses.

* Anyone who bullied the shou gets what they deserve.
