I Reformed a Noble Good-for-Nothing in Ancient Times

[Original title: Living It Up in Ancient Aristocratic Society. Updates every night at 9 p.m. Please shower me with comments and favorites. Love you all!]

Six-year-old Gu Zhu always thought he'd come to ancient times to live the good life.

After all, his mother was the current emperor's sister, his father was the son of a founding statesman, his dozen or so maternal cousins were all future emperors, and his dozen or so paternal cousins were all nobles with distinguished records.

What a dream start! It seemed like all he had to do in this life was eat, drink, and take it easy.

But what on earth had happened to his father's family over the past few years?! One cousin crippled an imperial relative, while another was cozying up to foreigners. The vast, meritorious clan was full of useless fools, and they loved going to the emperor to complain about being broke and beg for money.

And yet his imperial uncle would just smile and say, "You've worked hard, my dear subject. If you're short on money, take some from the treasury. There's plenty."

Gu Zhu, who only wanted to enjoy a life of luxury, shuddered. "Damn it! Don't drag me down with you when you get yourselves killed! Wouldn't it be great if you all became pillars of the nation?! Study hard and keep your heads down, all of you! Help!"

A lazy fish who turns into a shark, a coward who loves life, and a cute playboy bottom x a scheming war god top, a wannabe usurper who, after losing his memory, develops an attachment to the first person he sees and cries for his "mom" (the bottom) every day.

Also known as:

"The Entire Court Is Related to Me"

"After I Turned My Whole Family into Pillars of the Nation"

"Regent, I Want to Retire Every Day"

Reading guide:

1. The bottom is the youngest but holds a senior place in the family hierarchy, and everyone adores him.

2. The bottom gets every last useless fool back on their feet.

3. Nation-building, feel-good wish fulfillment, and family bonds.

[Here's Jiji's upcoming novel!] "After My Husband Died, I Started a Livestream to Sell Products and Act Cute"

After Xiao Ke was assigned to the imperial general Xie Chenhe, his life wasn't exactly easy.

Everyone knew that after an omega married, he was only allowed to stay home and have babies. He couldn't speak to another alpha when his husband wasn't there, couldn't go out whenever he wanted, and had to keep his distance from his birth family. Most importantly, he had to have two children within three years.

Xiao Ke seemed obedient, but inside he was furious. He never expected that on their wedding day, just after the wedding night, while he still looked like a rag doll, his husband Xie Chenhe would be summoned back by military orders. He left that very night, armor on and leading the troops against the Zerg, and then he died.

Xiao Ke: ??? This is actually good news?!

Rag-doll Xiao Ke gave an interview, looking beautiful and tearful, biting his lip and lowering his head, playing the part of a stunning young widow to perfection. "I... I don't know what to do now. My husband left me and his little brother behind just like that. I'm afraid I won't even be able to afford food. What should I do?"

"A friend suggested I livestream my daily life and sell things, but I don't know how to do any of that. I'm a little scared people will hate me if I'm bad at it..."

"Huh? Everyone wants to watch my livestream and buy things from me? I'm so happy. But I should wait a while before remarrying. I... I want to mourn the general for a few years. Then, whoever treats me well, I'll be sure to repay him."

That night, Xiao Ke's pure and delicate young-widow livestream went viral across the universe!

Three months later.

Top donor: Baby, you're working so hard to support your family and even raise someone else's little brother. It breaks my heart. Damn it, here's another five million star coins! Marry me, baby!

Second-place donor: Sweetheart, look at me! I'm already selling my house on the capital planet. Once it's sold, I'll be the top donor!

Offline, Xiao Ke had just thrown up violently in the bathroom. Feeling weak and pitiful, he planned to go to the hospital for a checkup. But when he came out, he was cornered at the door by his dead husband's younger brother, Xie Wujiang. The young man, handsome and imposing, pinned him in his arms with one hand. His eyes were deep as a pool, and he looked seven-tenths like his dead brother. Gazing solemnly at Xiao Ke, he said hoarsely, "Sister-in-law, you must be pregnant. Don't remarry. Let me take care of you for my brother."

Xiao Ke lazily patted his shoulder. "No need. I wouldn't make any money if I remarried. Focus on school, little uncle. Don't stop your sister-in-law from earning money to buy you candy."

A cute, theatrical bottom x a short-tempered top shrunk by a Zerg toxin laser.

1. The top was hit by a toxin laser, forged a new identity, and became the little brother-in-law Xiao Ke raised.

2. The bottom falls in love after marriage, while the top's secret crush comes true.

3. A sweet little treat. Please add it to your favorites!
