Pei Jin, a black-hearted powerhouse who has just escaped the control of the infinite-flow Main God and temporarily lost his memory, is captured by a rookie System.
System: "Sweetheart, let's climb to the top of the world together!"
Pei Jin smiles warmly and answers without hesitation. "Sure!"
Story One: The little hot-tempered male insect's bold declaration: My insect is the only one I'm allowed to bully!
Lancelot is the youngest lieutenant general in the military of the insect empire. Born into humble circumstances but exceptionally gifted, he rose to the pinnacle of imperial power before turning four hundred, just one step away from becoming commander in chief. Unfortunately, he died in defeat and returned to the turning point of his fate, more than three hundred years earlier.
In his previous life, he did everything he could to hold back an S-rank alien beast and was gravely wounded, nearly dying. Then he got caught up in a power struggle among the higher-ups, was accused of delaying military operations, and almost faced a court-martial.
This time, he intends to be gravely wounded by the S-rank alien beast in full view of everyone and fall onto a remote planet. He wants to see if the power struggle can still happen without him, the main character!
The plan sounds wonderful. Reality is cruel.
He came hurtling down from the sky in a damaged escape pod. He avoided the power struggle, but happened to smash someone's home and injure their precious underage male insect!
Well, that little male insect's whip sure packs a punch!
Story Two: Pei, a male chauvinist, Jin: I handle the outside, you handle the home. A man's got to support his family!
Qingshan County lies in the heart of Yuzhou. Though it is blessed with talent and has produced many capable people, its fortune is truly terrible: not one of them has ever given back to their hometown! So despite being a county town, Qingshan is also known far and wide as a poor backwater.
There is only one family in town who moved there years ago: a poor scholar who opened a private school and scraped together a meager income by taking on a few students. But he had a spoiled son, who insisted on the finest food and clothing. Even slightly coarse fabric could chafe his skin red.
When the young man came of age to marry, not a single family nearby dared to ask for his hand. Master Song was worried sick.
Then one day he was shocked to hear that his son had fallen into the water with a country man and lost his virtue. It hit Master Song like a bolt from the blue, nearly making him stumble.
With their virtue lost, the two had no choice but to hurry into marriage.
Before the wedding, Master Song gave his son a generous dowry. Father Song urged him earnestly: "My son, your husband comes from an ordinary family. If you suffer any hardship, don't hold it against him, or it may harm your relationship as a married couple."
Song Linlang agreed nervously.
After the wedding, Song Linlang ate pastries from the shops in town, spent the household allowance his husband gave him each month, and lived in a newly renovated brick house with a tiled roof. He followed his husband from Qingshan County all the way to the capital, more than a little confused. Father, married life doesn't seem to be anything like you said!
Story Three: To be determined
1. Note: Like the book I started before, this one has been revamped so heavily that I decided to start over with a new one.
2. All settings are fictional and have nothing to do with reality. Please, please don't read them as reflecting real life!
