I Became the City God in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

Feng Zi'an transmigrated into the body of a little prince in an unfamiliar dynasty.

He planned to work diligently, get along well with his brothers, and hopefully enjoy a life of lazy luxury someday.

After more than a decade, he had successfully become the beloved little prince everyone adored.

Then he received the City God’s seal in a dream, and his peaceful life of over a decade was turned upside down.

The little eunuch A Dou beside him held out a heart and liver and asked, “Your Highness, would you like the heart or the liver?”

The Imperial Food Bureau, where he often went to find tasty treats, had a mountain of corpses hidden in its back courtyard.

When he finally managed to leave the palace, he even ran into Yan Chixia!

One demon and ghost after another appeared. Just as he began to think he had transmigrated into a fantasy world, he met Ning Caichen, who had come to the capital to sit the imperial examinations, and encountered a painted-skin ghost.

Looking at those familiar names, he couldn’t help sighing. He hadn’t transmigrated into a fantasy world at all. This was clearly Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.

I’d also like to recommend my upcoming novel, The Fourteenth Prince’s Lazy Life.

At three years old, the soft and cuddly Fourteenth Prince received a Lazybones System.

Lazybones missions: Lie down for one hour to get a lollipop.

Lie down for two hours to get a bottle of sweet drink.

Lie down for a whole day to learn one thing that is about to happen to a randomly selected brother.

Yinzhen had grown up hearing from his mother that his Fourth Brother was the worst, that he didn’t want his mother or his brothers, and that he didn’t want to play with him.

After his Fourth Brother gave him another icy look, Yinzhen forced himself to lie around for several days, just to find out how awful his brother really was.

Who would have thought that after watching for a few days, he’d discover that his brothers, who all seemed so dignified and refined, were secretly crying one after another?

His eldest brother trained so hard that his whole body hurt, then cried under the covers.

His second brother was scolded by the Emperor and cried under the covers.

His third brother did poorly in his studies and secretly hid away to shed tears.

His Fourth Brother had it the worst. He was bullied by servants until he cried, made to cry by their mother, and bullied into tears by his other brothers.

From then on, Yinzhen was busy every day, comforting one brother and cheering up another. He even wanted to hug his worst Fourth Brother.

Watching Yinzhen run around nonstop, busy comforting his brothers, the Lazybones System suddenly felt like life had lost all meaning. It was supposed to be a Lazybones System, so how had it turned into the daily routine of a toddler raising his brothers?
