A Slacker's Reluctant Daily Grind

Yu Qing accidentally transmigrated to an unfamiliar dynasty and became the emperor's cousin's son. Maybe something went wrong with the way he transmigrated. His father went to war in his grandfather's place and died. The concubines in the estate took the money and ran, leaving only a mother and her orphaned children struggling to get by in the vast princely mansion. He had no choice but to earn money to support the family. His eldest younger brother was mischievous and unruly, refusing to be disciplined, while his second younger sister was precious and affected, crying and making a scene whenever she pleased. Yu Qing figured there was nothing a beating couldn't fix. If one wasn't enough, he could give them two. As his younger siblings got their lives on track and the family savings grew, Yu Qing decided that once he gave his younger brother a little more guidance, he could bow out and live a carefree life. But then his father, who had supposedly died on the battlefield long ago, came back. Yuwen Tuo was driven into a corner by the old emperor. He led his brothers in rebellion, and after ascending the throne, sent people in every direction to search for his missing wife and children. But when he finally found them... The first time, he had just reached the door when his daughter mistook him for a beggar and sent him away. The second time, his youngest son thought he was a fraud and chased him off. The third time, his legitimate son chased him away with a stick. By the fourth time, he had learned his lesson. He brought the civil and military officials with him, along with an imperial edict, and marched straight over. He refused to believe they could turn him away again. But the once gentle and timid Marchioness was waiting at the door with a ruler in her hand. Please check out my upcoming novel: The Eldest Prince Wants to Usurp the Throne Every Day (Qing Dynasty) Zhu Yuanzhang had spent his life ruling with an iron fist. He looked upon the vast empire he had conquered, smiled, and died. Then he opened his eyes and found himself transmigrated into the body of a tiny child in a dynasty of men with long braids. What in the world is this? The child had a shaved head and a little pigtail. It was hideous beyond words. Later, he happened to hear someone mention the remnants of the former Ming. His hair stood on end. So you were the ones who destroyed the Great Ming I built? Unforgivable! At the thought, he used his weak little infant hands to pinch the face of the somewhat balding man in front of him as hard as he could. Kangxi rubbed his face against the baby's hand and laughed happily. "My beloved consort, look! Baoqing likes me so much." He picked up the child and kissed him several times, then rubbed his cheek against him and said, "A'ma loves Baoqing most, too." Zhu Yuanzhang was so furious he nearly flipped over. You little brat! Just you wait. Once I grow up, I'll usurp your throne! Upcoming novel 2: The Entire Court Is My Mouthpiece Song Qing opened his eyes and found himself a young emperor, about to ascend the throne after inheriting the mess his father had left behind. Looking at the court, full of wolves and tigers, he felt uneasy and secretly wondered how he could escape if the officials rebelled. But on his very first day at court, he acquired a Truth-Telling System that let him pick one person each day and make them tell the truth. The court's atmosphere immediately took a strange turn. The Vice Minister of Works was passionately describing how difficult it had been to control the Yellow River floods. Then the story suddenly changed: "It's only because the Yellow River floods are so profitable. Otherwise, who the hell would take on this deadly job?" "The levee only broke because I had people cut corners. It's our one chance to make money each year. Anyone who passes it up is an idiot!" All the officials in court stared at him as if he were a fool. He covered his mouth in horror and promptly fainted from fright. The Minister of Revenue was making a fuss about how poor the treasury was and stubbornly refusing to release disaster relief funds. Then the words suddenly came tumbling out: "The silver in the treasury is my precious darling. I love it with all my heart. Anyone who tries to take my darling out of the treasury will have to go through me!" After saying this, the Minister of Revenue covered his mouth and was promoted with tears in his eyes. He was even farther away from his precious darling! Upcoming novel 3: Senior Sister, I Heard You Want to Kill Us (Transmigrate into a Book) Su An was electrocuted while reading a novel because she wasn't paying attention. The moment she woke, the System told her she had transmigrated into a book as Su An, the villainous senior sister of the sickly twin siblings Qi Minghuai and Qi Mingyun. The senior sister became a villain because, after the twins became her master's disciples, their master went into seclusion and left them in Su An's care. But the senior sister was vicious: a proper senior sister in public, a wicked woman in private. She beat and cursed the twins, made them test countless poisons, and, after they had achieved some cultivation, practiced demonic arts and tried to drain their energy. In the end, they killed her in return. The twins then became the novel's greatest villains and ultimately destroyed the world. Su An opened her eyes and looked at the two who had just become disciples, feeling torn. The System hurriedly issued a mission: "Host, your body isn't dead. As long as you do this and that, you'll be able to do this and that." Before it could finish, its voice cut out. Su An filled in the blanks herself: raise the two of them to adulthood, and she could go home. She diligently taught them and raised them safely. By the time they had both become sect leaders and were about to ascend, she figured she could finally go home. Just then, the System, silent for years, suddenly spoke in a voice everyone could hear: "As long as you kill the two of them, you can save the world!" The twins looked at Su An, their voices stubborn. "Senior Sister, I heard you want to kill us?" Su An shook her head frantically. "I don't! I didn't!" They closed in on her step by step. "Then you can't blame us for striking first." Later, Su An lay on the bed, her bones weak and her limbs limp. Who could tell her why the children she'd painstakingly raised for decades had rebelled because of the System?! System: Are you sure I made them do it? This is a 1v1 romance. The twins are two strands of the male lead's soul, and they return to his body later on. Theme: Hard work brings rewards, but those rewards aren't always fruit.
