The Poor Third-Generation Neighbor I Drove to Riches [Reborn]

[Complete // Next book: "Big Sister, Save Me!"]

Blurb:

The year he turned twenty, third-generation rich kid Cao Zhiqing lost at life in every possible way.

That same year, third-generation poor kid Mu Renshu rose steadily through the ranks.

Seven years later, Mu Renshu left a huge inheritance to Cao Zhiqing.

Cao Zhiqing died on the spot without spending a cent.

Back at fourteen, Cao Zhiqing is a blank slate.

His younger brother hasn't disappeared, and his father is still alive.

Mu Renshu is still a poor student.

So Cao Zhiqing starts sucking up to the big shot while he's still young.

[Cao the Mouthy x Mu the Patient]

[Hot-Hearted x Self-Reliant]

Mu Renshu is top of the school, while Cao Zhiqing ranks near the bottom.

One evening during self-study, the big shot Mu is forced to tutor Cao Zhiqing in math.

Two hours later, Mu Renshu asks, "Did you get it?"

Cao Zhiqing's soul has left his body halfway. "I got it all wrong."

Mu Renshu's expression turns colder, so he lowers the bar. "Do you understand it?"

"I've made peace with it, and besides..." Cao Zhiqing props his chin on one hand and gives a charming smile, the tiny mole at the corner of his left eye alluring. "I've been too busy looking at you."

1. Cao is wild and unruly, and only ever reasonable with Mu.

2. Mostly a school story. I'm no good at writing blurbs, so just read the story.

3. I have an outline, so feel free to dive in. Updates before 9 p.m. If there's no update, don't wait. XOXO.

4. Blurb written on 10.18.

Next book, "Big Sister, Save Me!" blurb:

Is cultivating immortality really this hard?

Becoming a measure-taker is just the entry ticket to the path of immortality. You still have to complete 99 acts of boundless merit.

Wen Yi has seen the smartphone... that Ji Chen uses to post assignments?

Wen Yi is baffled. "Girl, has cultivation gone modern now? You can grab a job and earn points, then get a bulk discount?"

Ji Chen glances at Wen Yi. "These days, everything has KPIs. You've learned something new. Humans have evolved for all these years and they're still stupid."

"??"

So you're saying you weren't human before?

Ding-dong!

A new task has arrived.

[Help an old lady cross the street.]

Wen Yi: "Girl, are you serious?"

Ji Chen: "Mortal, would you please read the note below?"

[At midnight, at Intersection 104: an old woman who always gets lost.]

Wen Yi rubs her chin. "Isn't that the police's job?"

Ji Chen smacks Wen Yi on the head. "Try pleading with the ghost. See if she'll leave you your mouth so you can go downstairs and tell King Yama that I died of stupidity."

"..."

She's insulting me in a roundabout way.

After completing the 98th act of merit, Wen Yi asks, "What's the first thing you want to do after becoming immortal?"

Ji Chen brushes at the hem of her black nightgown and smiles as if nothing in the world could touch her. "Obviously, marry you."
