Building an Industrial Empire in Republican-Era China

Currently serializing: After the Calamity, I Was Reborn. Please add it to your library. Blurb When Shen Chengrun woke up, he found himself with barely anything to his name, or perhaps even worse off than that. At least a bare house has four walls. His home was practically joined to a kennel, separated only by a wall. There were also two children, one big and one small, crying out to be fed. Both were so thin they looked like living stick figures with enormous heads. His classmates looked down on him, the servants who had once worked for his family bullied him, and everyone looked at him as if he were a useless nobody. Shen Chengrun put his knowledge and skills to use and started building an industry. When poor, he would cultivate himself; when wealthy, he would help the world. Before long, Shen Chengrun became someone even the people who had once looked down on him could only admire from afar. Reader's Guide: 1. This is a work of fiction.

Blurb for the currently serializing novel: After the Calamity, I Was Reborn Ji An and his boyfriend survived together for seven years in a zombie apocalypse, sharing life and death. During a mission, they came across a little girl surrounded by zombies. Ji An and his boyfriend risked their lives to save her, then raised her themselves. When the girl turned eighteen and blossomed into a graceful young woman, she stood before Ji An not to repay him, but to demand that he give up his boyfriend. When Ji An refused, they dug out his ability-user crystal and threw his body to the zombie horde. His boyfriend, however, wholeheartedly believed that the girl was pure and kind. He accepted her story, full of holes, without question and even held a wedding with her in the end. They had spent seven years together in the apocalypse, yet had never had a wedding. Fortunately, Ji An was reborn. This time, he would never again be fooled by tenderness. All he wanted was to live a peaceful, steady life through the apocalypse. But fate took pity on him, and he met a man he could trust to watch his back. Core Message: When poor, cultivate yourself; when wealthy, help the world.
