The Top Scholar Wants to Go Home and Sell Flatbread

Please add my next novel, The King of Comedy, to your reading list.

"With spring breeze at my back, my horse gallops fast; in one ride, I take in every flower in Chang'an." What glory!

Yet the newly crowned top scholar Zhong Qiwu tears up his red robe and declares he is going back to his hometown to inherit the family business of selling baked flatbreads.

Because Zhong Qiwu has transmigrated into a book, and knows the emperor isn't human, but a demon-slaying monster who likes to eat people. The book says: "At dawn, the emperor was ravenously hungry. He grabbed the noble consort who had just attended him the night before and gobbled her down in a few bites."

He wiped the blood from his mouth and issued an edict: "The noble consort has passed away."

P.S. The couple are each other's only partners. The monster doesn't eat people; it's all a misunderstanding.

The terminally socially anxious Lu Xiaobao transmigrates into a book and is immediately faced with a choice between life and death: make the audience laugh, or die.

Lu Xiaobao looks at the other trainees singing and dancing, grits his teeth, lies flat, and starts doing sit-ups.

At the finals, the industry's number one tough-guy film emperor makes his variety show debut. Lu Xiaobao invites him: "Teacher, my act is a dance. Could you come onstage and play a pole?"

Later, he discovers that the tough-guy film emperor really is a pole at night.
