Song Shifeng's 1991

Please bookmark my upcoming novel, Serving My Country in a Republic of China Novel.

A vain, spendthrift, shamelessly flirtatious bottom × an upright, principled, celibate top.

Song Shifeng was never the child anyone had high hopes for. He had an older brother who was an army officer and a younger brother at a prestigious university, while he was good at absolutely nothing except dressing well. His clothes were so expensive they filled trunks, and he had enough shoes to build a small mountain. The problem was, he always spent more than he earned. He was all flash and no substance, and any day now he might have to dress himself up and beg on the street.

His family's only demand of him was simple: just stay alive.

Song Shifeng was unconvinced. "I just need one chance to get rich."

Opportunity always favors the ambitious.

In the spring of 1991, Song Shifeng finally got his wish and became a small-time coal boss. He had only 42.8 yuan left in his pocket and couldn't afford a place to stay.

In the middle of the night, Yan Dong took him home, fed him, put him up, and didn't even charge rent.

Just as Song Shifeng had settled in, the coal boss, who had nothing and couldn't do anything, started fussing over a fashion magazine and making grand promises.

Yan Dong didn't think much of the idea, but that didn't stop him from offering advice.

He helped him once, and then he helped him again: when Song Shifeng got scammed, Yan Dong cleaned up the mess; when he ran out of money, Yan Dong came to the rescue; when he was happy, Yan Dong went shopping with him; when he was unhappy, Yan Dong still went shopping with him.

Song Shifeng, dressed like a flamboyant peacock, shamelessly draped himself over Yan Dong's shoulder and sighed, "Dear little brother, you're truly my cozy padded pants!"

Yan Dong's secret crush shattered into eight pieces. He shoved chopsticks into Song Shifeng's hand. "Shut up and eat."

A few things to know before reading:

1. A slow burn, with lively everyday life and a career-focused plot.

2. Everyone is a native of this world. The leads are about the same age. No one is reborn or transmigrates. As the locals say, this life is already exciting enough.

3. I'm terrible at writing blurbs, but the story is more fun than the description.

The ambitious Jian Zhonglou transmigrates with all his skills into a Republic of China novel as a minor villain: the real young master who can't beat the adopted fake young master, an idiot who manages to ruin his own life before the story is even halfway over.

Jian Zhonglou looks at his handsome, refined face in the mirror and clicks his tongue. "A wonderful era, a wonderful family, a wonderful face. You got eight and a half tenths of all the advantages and still managed to play a winning hand into a complete mess. What a useless fool. Since I've taken on this worthless body, I'll collect every debt owed, make every fortune to be made, and seize every bit of power within reach."

He's an ambitious man. He wants the organization to grow stronger. He wants the country to prosper and its people to live in peace. He wants everyone around him to have enough food and clothing. He wants his country to stop bowing its head in foreign affairs!

He wants it all! He wants everything! He's an ambitious man through and through!

So when the organization needs money, he gives it money; when it needs salt, he sends salt; when it needs medicine, he makes it himself! From Jiangnan to Beiping, Jian Zhonglou is the organization's god of wealth. At the sight of Zhonglou, a thousand worries disappear!

Much later, the male lead, a certain young marshal, wraps an arm around Boss Jian and pulls him into his embrace, his expression stern. "You've been doing plenty of good behind my back, haven't you?"

Jian Zhonglou plants a quick kiss on him. "As if you've been doing any less. Come on, are you delivering this shipment of weapons, or am I?"

At last, thanks to all their tireless efforts to stir things up, victory arrives many years ahead of schedule. Busy as ever, Jian Zhonglou takes a map and starts planning the whole country: new varieties of rice here, high-quality wheat there, a few vegetable-growing bases, and industrial production underway...

Also updating in parallel: I Went Bald Trying to Get the Top Student to Sleep, a sweet little romance. The entire story is already written, so come on in!

Theme: Work hard, and anything is possible.
