Young Master, Let's Not Make a Date

Zhao Yuan, a bad student in his teachers' eyes and a genius in his classmates', transmigrated. Heaven hadn't treated him too badly, since he'd become a little beggar. The optimistic Zhao Yuan figured that as long as he was alive, he couldn't complain, whether he was a hoodlum or a beggar.

As a young man of the twenty-first century, bad student Zhao Yuan had no interest in working hard to rise through the ranks, become a great man, or take over the Beggars' Sect. None of that had anything to do with him. He just wanted enough to eat and warm clothes!

After "careful consideration," Zhao Yuan took off for the mountains, hoping to live like the ancients and enjoy a peaceful life away from the world. But reality, as always, was far less idyllic.

After wandering up a mountain, the little beggar ate a fruit he didn't recognize and "summoned" a young master. Then... the young master bundled him up and took him home. First, Zhao Yuan became his page. Then he was forced to sit for the imperial exams. In the end, the young master and the father, older male cousin, and older female cousins who came looking for him spoiled him rotten.

Zhao Yuan: "Um... how is this anything like what I imagined?"

When Deng Jiuqing went down the mountain to check on the trees, he discovered that someone had eaten his "love fruit." He watched a little beggar finish the last bite, rolled up his sleeves, and bundled the boy up to take home.

Deng Jiuqing: "Hmm... He's a little too young to eat just yet. I'll keep him by my side and raise him first."

But can someone tell him where the little beggar's two fathers came from? And could those women claiming to be his older female cousins keep their hands to themselves? Don't they know men and women should keep their distance? And that older male cousin, why do you keep coming over when you have a whole court full of affairs to deal with?

Watching the chaos unfold, Zhao Yuan could only say: Life.
