"A Feasibility Report on Social Care in the Yushi Kingdom"

What’s the trickiest thing about putting long-lived and short-lived species together in one country?

Their species are different, and so are their worldviews.

The Yushi Kingdom has issued an official notice: Short-lived citizens who are willing to help care for the children at the Yinglong Kindergarten will receive generous wages and three meals a day. The food will match the Yinglong children’s meals: whatever the children eat, the elderly eat too.

Requirements: Applicants must be at least fifty-five. People with disabilities, dementia, or chronic illnesses are welcome, as long as the illness isn’t contagious. It’s fine if you’re too frail to walk. The older, the better. Also, the employment contract is a life-and-death pact.

The whole country is in an uproar, and then a large number of elderly people are sent to the kindergarten.

P.S. This is also a side story to "Immortal," but it takes place in the future, not the past. It’s a side story about the Yushi Empire, founded after the Yinglong came ashore.

"Zhi Ming"

The heroine’s perspective:

Greed is the source of my ambition., Jiang Yan

To climb higher, Jiang Yan works herself to the bone, eventually rising to a position second only to The Outcast, with all the people in the world beneath her. She even turns The Outcast into a puppet. But The Outcast is so handsome. If she holds the highest power, what’s wrong with sleeping with the most beautiful person?

The male lead’s perspective: Nothing is more miserable than lacking the ability to govern, yet being forced to sit on the Jade Lord’s throne and shoulder the fate of the nation. Even worse, I can tell that the shamans are all deceiving me and trying to control me. If they want power, fine. I don’t care for power anyway. But they wield authority and refuse to do any work.

Damn, where did this capable, hard-working workaholic come from? You’re deceiving me and trying to control me too, but I’ll forgive you since you’re capable and actually do the work.

Damn it, I gave you power so you could do your job better, not so you could covet my body.
