★Coming soon: The Real Young Master Really Doesn't Want to Be a Tycoon★ Yu Xi was a lucky koi fish. Just as he was undergoing his tribulation, the Heavenly Dao told him he had to fulfill one wish for his savior before he could successfully become an immortal. So the Heavenly Dao kicked him down to repay his debt. Who knew he would transmigrate into the body of a poor young man whose parents had sold him off as a good-luck charm for a wedding? But the problem was, he was a man!!! And then a whole host of other problems cropped up: #What should he do about his benefactor's poverty? Don't worry. Malatang, oden, and bubble tea will conquer the world. #What should he do when locusts invade his benefactor's fields? Deep-fried locusts: the treat you deserve. #What should he do when his benefactor's land lies fallow? One Koi Immortal is worth two. A bumper harvest is no problem! #What should he do when his benefactor falls gravely ill? When the Koi Immortal steps in, the results are guaranteed! His benefactor was influenced by Yu Xi, too, and launched an ancient version of compulsory education. P.S. The love interest disguises himself as a woman early on. Both are each other's one and only, body and soul. An alternate historical setting, with a fictional country: the Great An Kingdom.

He ended up as the cannon-fodder real young master in a novel set in a bygone era, doomed to die horribly after constantly picking fights with the fake young master, the protagonist. Shen Changfeng's inner monologue: God, you really can't stand seeing me happy, can you? Luckily, the little home he'd just finished paying off transmigrated with him. Everything inside refreshed once a day, so it had all the sugar, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea that were scarce in the 1970s. He stocked the fridge with pork, beef, and lamb. He'd never have to worry about missing out on delicious braised pork, soy-braised beef, or cumin lamb again! He was living the good life, lying flat at home every day, watching shows and enjoying good food. As for the original protagonist? Who cares? Every now and then, when he got bored, Shen Changfeng would set up a street stall selling braised pork, chicken feet with lemon, and spicy crayfish. Even with his half-hearted routine of working for three days and slacking off for two, he somehow became the richest man in the country. His story was even more protagonist-worthy than the protagonist's. Shen Changfeng's inner monologue: I really didn't want to be a tycoon! ★Completed: Summoning Players to Build a Wasteland Planet Lin Luo transmigrates to an interstellar world and inherits an abandoned planet.

And so, the full-dive game Star River War Chronicle, which takes Blue Star by storm, is born. In response to the following ads blanketing the planet: #A 100% full-dive online game is a must-have!# #The poor people of the interstellar world are being driven back by the Zerg! Can you stand by and watch? Join the fight now!# The players' reactions: Player 1: A 100% full-dive game? Sounds like a scam. Player 2: Only an idiot would fall for that. I'm not paying an idiot tax! Later: Player 1: There's a lone Zerg over there. Should we take it out? Player 2: Should we steam it or deep-fry it? Zerg, trembling: Please, let me go! Players 1 and 2: Shut up. Nobody asked what you think! With the players' help, Lin Luo's planet grows better and better, and magnificent buildings rise everywhere. Lin Luo makes a fortune, though he's a little worried the Zerg might all get eaten. P.S.
