Coasting Through Life in the Cultivation World

Li Dubian never managed to reach the Mahayana Realm before he died, and passed away with regrets.

Just before he died, he told A Huang, "If there's a next life, you've got to look after me, A Huang."

A Huang: Woof!

When Li Dubian opened his eyes again, a thousand years had passed.

This body had originally belonged to a genius, but the old man in the ring had absorbed its spiritual energy, turning him into a good-for-nothing and the laughingstock of everyone around him.

According to the novel's plot, he would have a genius younger sister who wasn't related to him by blood.

Then would come a broken engagement, a grand boast about how fortunes change, and a triumphant comeback.

Great. He knew this routine well.

Just as Li Dubian was preparing to make his grand declaration according to plan,

A Huang came to get him.

Everyone bowed: Greetings, Divine Lord Duyan!

Li Dubian: A Huang?

Li Duyan's expression shifted: Woof.

Everyone: ???

Li Dubian: The thing I regretted most in my previous life was getting a dog.

If heaven gave me another chance, I would... get several more!

One just isn't enough. You can't even get enough to play mahjong.

Notes:

1. A lighthearted, no-romance story with a male protagonist in the style of Qidian novels.

2. The male lead was already a transmigrator before he became a flop. Lots of headcanon.

3. Also known as The Importance of Having a Dog from the Start and Reborn, I Live High on My Dog's Reputation.

Theme: Life and death are fated, but my fate is mine to decide.
