A Feasibility Report on Social Care in the Yushi Kingdom

What's the hardest part about building a country by forcing long-lived and short-lived species to live together?

Their different species mean they have completely different values.

The Yushi Kingdom's government announces: Short-lived citizens who are willing to work at the Yinglong Kindergarten and help care for the little ones will receive generous wages and three meals a day. The food will meet the same standards as the Yinglong children's meals: whatever the children eat, the seniors eat.

Requirements: Applicants must be over fifty-five. Disabilities are fine, dementia is fine, chronic illnesses are fine, as long as they're not contagious. It doesn't matter if they're too old to walk. The older, the better. Also, the employment contract is a contract of life and death.

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

P.S. This is also a bonus story for Who Can Be Immortal, but it's set in the future, not the past. It's about the Yushi Empire established after the Yinglong came ashore.

Changyi

Have you ever seen a god?

Zhiming

The heroine's perspective:

"Greed is the source of my ambition." - Jiang Yan

To climb the ladder, Jiang Yan works herself to the bone every step of the way, finally rising to a position second only to The Outcast, whom she even reduces to a puppet. But that person is so handsome. Since she holds the highest authority, what's wrong with sleeping with the most beautiful man?

The hero's perspective: The most miserable thing in life is having no talent for governing a country but being forced to sit on the throne as the Jade Lord, bearing the fate of the realm on your shoulders. Worse, I can tell that all the shamans are lying to me and trying to control me. They can lie and manipulate me to gain power all they like. I don't care about power anyway. But they hold all the authority and refuse to do any work.

What the hell? Where did this capable, hardworking workaholic come from? Sure, you're also lying to me and trying to control me, but since you're capable and actually do the work, I'll forgive you.

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