The Richest Man Is Reborn After His Wife Dies

Ji Fang was a bastard of a scumbag in his previous life.

When he finally came to his senses and wanted to win Tang Zhi back, she treated him like trash. He chased after her and clung to her, lowering himself and groveling, but never once managed to earn so much as a backward glance from her.

Tang Zhi only said, "I don't like things that come knocking at my door."

The Ji Fang who came knocking at her door ended up impotent and crippled in both legs, forced to watch the woman he loved marry someone else.

In this life, he carefully stayed by Tang Zhi's side. Though his heart was a ferocious beast, he didn't dare cross the line.

"Be a good girl and study hard, okay? But don't stay up late!"

"That guy in the next class is into you. Keep your distance from him."

"Sweetie, I bought you some hot soy milk. It's sweet."

Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their heads. Was this really Brother Fang, the one they knew?

The Ji Fang who got into fights and raced cars as if it were part of his daily routine?

One day, the delicate little girl sipped the hot soy milk Ji Fang had brought her, blinked her bright, sparkling eyes, and asked him, "Ji Fang, do you like me?"

Crash!

The boy fell off his chair. "N-no, that's impossible."

He'd hidden it so well. He didn't dare tell her he liked her.

"The global pandemic is officially over!!! Health codes and travel codes will all be deactivated..."

That day, the whole country celebrated, with drums beating and gongs clanging.

Mu Ning's grandfather, Chef Zhang, was so happy that he had to be carried into an ambulance, right in front of the entire neighborhood.

From then on, Mu the Little Chef was forced to become a rising star in the culinary world. She joined a food variety show during the great revival of the entertainment industry and accidentally became a sensation.

Mu Ning: ???? I don't even understand what's going on!

Every day, a countless number of important people crowded in front of her restaurant, which was on the verge of closing. Rich tycoons paid for front-row spots, and top-tier stars dreamed of marrying the chef.

The movie star, growing fatter by the day, shoved everyone aside and held up a giant bowl. "Make way, let me through! I can still gain another twenty pounds!"

Mu the Little Chef glanced at the surging crowd and swung her big ladle. "Everyone's equal in front of a meal. If you want to eat, get in line."

Late one night, the paparazzi excitedly posted their latest secretly taken photos: [Gorgeous chef's romance revealed, her boyfriend is a newly popular young top-tier star!]

Five minutes later, Jing Li, whose rice bowl had been taken away, posted a tearful message on Weibo.

@PositiveEnergyBoy__JingLi: [Paparazzi, are you blind? That's my mom! You owe me dinner!!!]

On the other side of the dining table,

Ran Heng, a huge furry creature, rubbed his fluffy head against Mu Ning's shoulder. "Ningning, I want rabbit."

Mu Ning picked up a piece of spicy, savory cold rabbit and held it to Ran Heng's mouth. "Be good and open wide."

[Coming Soon] The Little Fish Is Silly and Sweet Again. Blurb:

[Cool, beautiful female CEO x male idol who finally stops being an ignoramus and works hard at studying]

Shu Jinzhao inherits a vast entertainment empire.

But the queen, who has never had a good opinion of the entertainment industry, decides to launch a sweeping reform of it:

"You lot, go study Marxism."

"You, you, and you have terrible acting skills. Are you trying to hurt the audience's eyes and force-feed them crap? All of you, go back and retake your classes!"

Shu Jinzhao walks up to Lu Qingyu, the entertainment industry's top-tier young heartthrob, and sizes him up with an indifferent gaze. "Ten out of ten looks, nine out of ten physique, but how are you such an idiot? Finish your compulsory education at the company, you ignorant dropout."

Those last three mocking words make Lu Qingyu's handsome face crack on the spot.

After everyone leaves, he clutches his agent's black trousers and wails, "Was it wrong of me to be an ignorant dropout?!"

*

From then on...

A female top-tier star livestreams with her fans, always holding a book on Marxism.

Scumbag stars from other companies try to shift the blame, but the female stars of Ditian, fresh from their anti-love-brain course, expose them with irrefutable evidence, leaving onlookers amazed!

Lu Qingyu, the dazzling, radiant male top-tier star, sits in a junior high school classroom, taking lessons alongside a group of kids half his height.

"Today we're studying triangle geometry."

"Today's reading in Chinese class is The Injury of Yong."

"Today we'll cover..."

The physics teacher's chalk smacks him on the forehead. "Lu Qingyu, come solve the problem on the board."

Lu Qingyu, who'd fallen asleep with his mouth open: Who am I? Where am I? Why am I still in junior high?!

*

One juicy scandal after another rocks the entertainment industry. One idol after another sees their public image collapse, but Ditian's artists remain standing, without exception.

@HeartbrokenFanWhoseIdolGotCanceled: [My dream just collapsed again, sob! Can anyone recommend a singer who's good-looking, sings well, and won't get canceled?]

[Girl, I highly recommend Ditian's artists. Every one of them is a model citizen and won't get canceled (heart).]

[My idol got canceled last month too. Thank goodness for Ditian, sob!]

[Ditian family fan passing through, haha! They never get canceled!]

[Take a look at Lu Qingyu. He's the first ignorant dropout in the entertainment industry to go back to junior high. He's setting a great example for his fans by studying!]

At last, one top-tier star returns after completing his studies. Holding out his freshly earned junior high diploma, he presents it to Shu Jinzhao. "Boss, I'm not an ignorant dropout anymore. I'm also the first man in our company to pass the Level Ten Virtue for Men exam!"

"Maybe... would you... consider... me?" Lu Qingyu nervously pokes his fingertips together and lowers his head, afraid to look at Shu Jinzhao.

The great beauty Shu gives him a glance and picks up the office phone. "Hello, Administration?"

"There's an idol here who wants to date. Deduct his performance bonus for this month."

Lu Qingyu drops to his knees in despair. "Your Majesty, spare me!!!"
