Want some hot pot soup base? Roast duck, roast chicken, spicy hot pot...] Yu Heng (tentatively sticking out a little toe): Maybe... maybe I'll start with a bottle of soda? Later, someone asked Yu Heng, "Prime Minister Yu, you wield immense power at court, enjoy the emperor's complete trust, and are revered by scholars across the land. Countless commoners have even built temples and erected monuments in your honor. How did you accomplish all this?" Yu Heng sighed wearily. "It all started when I was young and foolish enough to trust a scoundrel..." That useless System was no friend to man. It whipped this couch potato of mine right back to life!

Xiao Jingyao had no parents, but with his astonishing intelligence and business instincts, he became the richest man in the land. Then he transmigrated, and everything was wiped clean. The moment Xiao Jingyao was born, his father held him and wept bitterly. "Son, the family is counting on you from now on. Whatever you do, don't grow up to be a wastrel like me!" Xiao Jingyao: This seems just a tiny bit worrying. The Xiao family had once been one of the wealthiest households in Nanchuan, but after several wastrel heirs in a row, their fortunes had plummeted. Just when everyone thought the family was finished and its current wastrel would drag them all down with him, they were astonished to see the Xiao family's last shabby little shop spring back to life. Not only that, it quickly became the most successful business in Nanchuan, raking in money every day like a treasure trove. Even more astonishing, the six-year-old young master of the Xiao family was praised as a prodigy as soon as he began his studies. He passed the county-level exam at twelve, then went on to top the imperial examinations, earning the distinction of sixfold laureate and becoming the youngest chief minister in the Great Qi dynasty! Everyone finally understood: After three generations of wastrels, the Xiao family had at last produced a peerless genius! Xiao Jingyao: Running a business and studying? Easy! Theme: Stay positive, live optimistically, and make the most of your time.
