After I Turned Into an Emperor Penguin, I Won Everyone Over With Cuteness

A little promo for my upcoming novel, a supernatural romance: "Falling in Love Online With My Dead Husband's Secret Identity After Losing My Memory" A few things first: This story has a lot of original worldbuilding, and it isn't set on Earth, so please be gentle if you care about historical accuracy. If you don't like the plot, please stop reading in time! Let's part on peaceful terms, no need to flame me! T_T [Important] He Ci had never seen his parents come back since he became an emperor penguin chick. He watched enviously as all the other chicks feasted while their parents fed them. It only made him hungrier. But he couldn't just sit around waiting. He had to find a way to fill his stomach! At last, he spotted a grown emperor penguin with sleek feathers, a strong build, and a handsome face! After coming ashore, the other penguin simply preened his feathers, showing no intention of feeding any chicks. He Ci's eyes lit up. He composed himself, then rushed over with a sob in his voice: "Dad, you're finally back!" Di Que, the single penguin clan leader, was preening his feathers. He froze and looked up at him. Who are you? Though He Ci's attempt to pass himself off as his chick failed, after a series of twists and turns he still managed to freeload on food and lodging at the single leader's home. Just as He Ci thought things would carry on this way... His parents returned from hunting. Di Que wasn't like the other penguins. He refused to find a mate just to raise a chick. While the other penguins mourned the loss of their chicks and even tried snatching other people's babies, he still thought chicks were fussy, demanding, and a huge pain. But by a twist of fate... The aloof clan leader, Di Que, who never looked after chicks, watched as the same trembling little fluffball was pushed in front of him again. He opened his brood pouch. "...Get in. I've got your back." A beautiful clan leader who pretends to be aloof but is actually short-tempered, gong x a cute, delicate, quick-witted shou P.S. No adoption, just freeloading on food and lodging. His parents will come back. Evolved penguins can turn into humans. The story takes place after humanity's extinction and before the emergence of the new humans. Evolved creatures gradually develop into the new humans. This is set a few hundred years before Sea Emperor. A friend's novel recommendation! "After Saving the World, the Emperor Doesn't Want to Work Anymore" by Yan Xuan: a max-level powerhouse returns to the beginner village. Qing Zhi, a fake transmigrator without a golden finger, went through hellish difficulties but still broke through the boundaries and ascended, becoming an emperor beyond the heavens. He reset the cultivation world, which had been destroyed in a great calamity. After the reset, everything went back to square one. He even ended up with a second account, sitting aboard the starship that had crashed in the cultivation world back then, surrounded by a crowd of fake transmigrators who were utterly bewildered... Qing Zhi brought out his survival guide for the immortal realm, which was incredibly powerful yet excessively cautious: If you want to survive in this cruel world, you'll have to work very hard. The transmigrators: Mm-hmm! Qing Zhi logged into his main account and sent himself a set of max-level gear. Of course, I don't have to work hard. The transmigrators: ?? Qing Zhi, who didn't have to work hard, did all kinds of outrageous things. For example, at the Central Province tournament: "What a pity. Last time around, I only came in first. I really wonder what it feels like to come in last." The last-place contestant, decked out in max-level gear from head to toe, looked like he was practically begging them to rob him. The entire cultivation world went mad. Faced with a crowd of professional murderers and treasure thieves, Qing Zhi's eyes gradually lit up. Time to switch to my main account! Who could have guessed that the Sword God, who should have devoted himself to the sword, and the evil demon lord, who should have destroyed the world, would suddenly appear? All the big names rushed to claim the kills before him. "This time around, we have to strike first. Qing Zhi can only be mine!" Qing Zhi: "???" Something seems wrong here... Wait, you think you can steal my kills? "Are you all missing the point?" asked a certain extraterrestrial demon, emerging from a vinegar vat. "This world is beyond saving. I might as well destroy it." [Reading Guide] #A split-personality, world-ending maniac gong who wants to destroy the world every day vs. a goofy shou who keeps a journal and doesn't want to work hard #A goofy, satisfying cultivation story about a max-level powerhouse using an alt account to make a second run at the path to immortality. The protagonist's main and alt accounts exist at the same time, like having one max-level account and one low-level account in a game. He can switch accounts or play both at once.
