How to Get By Doing Nothing in a Novel Set in the Old Days

Fang Qingxia transmigrates into a book: a romance set in a bygone era, which his cousin forced him to finish and then write an 800-word review about. To make the heroine seem like the only light in the hero's life, the author goes out of their way to make him suffer, cruelly and unbearably. The heroine only has to show him the tiniest bit of kindness, and he'll gladly become her devoted lapdog. He spends over a hundred chapters licking her boots and suffering, and only in the last ten chapters does his luck finally turn and he become a big shot. Even then, he's still a groveling lapdog in front of her.

A lifelong bachelor whose only ambition is to eat, drink, and wait for death, Fang Qingxia rolls his eyes and offers his one and only review: "That male lead was born under the unluckiest star in the universe!"

Who could have guessed that the very next day he'd transmigrate, becoming Jiang Jianye, the male lead he'd said was born under the unluckiest star in the universe?

When Fang arrives, Jiang Jianye has just turned thirteen and hasn't met the heroine yet. He's pale, scrawny, and malnourished, and the moment he opens his eyes, his stomach starts rumbling like a drum. It's still a full twenty years before he turns his life around, gets enough to eat and wear, and makes a fortune.

To make matters worse, because his transmigration cheat is an outdated version, he has to share a body with Jiang Jianye.

Thinking of the original male lead's miserable life and devoted-lapdog fate...
