Every Wealthy Family Is Eager to Give Me Money

Before he was reborn, Gu Ningyi was the true young master of the Ye family, switched at birth. After being reunited with his birth family, he swallowed his pride and did everything he could to please his parents. He thought he might finally find the warmth of family, but instead, they sent him to the sacrificial altar. They said that since he was a useless fool who couldn't do anything anyway, they might as well use his bloodline to ensure a bright future for the fake young master. Overwhelmed by the bone-deep agony, Gu Ningyi died. Only in his final moments did he realize he wasn't useless at all: he was a genius who had inherited an extraordinary bloodline. After being reborn, Gu Ningyi was utterly disillusioned. He no longer held any hope for familial affection, and left the Gu family that very night. He returned to the countryside, where his adoptive father lived, and took up farming. With his newly awakened bloodline, he successfully cultivated spirit herbs that had been extinct for a thousand years. In this age of declining cultivation, spiritual energy was scarce and cultivation sects were in decline. But the spirit herbs Gu Ningyi grew produced an endless supply of spiritual energy. In the blink of an eye, he became the hope of every cultivation family, and a favorite whom all the powerful families scrambled to please. In the first month of his spirit herb harvest, the Yu family, the foremost family in the world of mysticism, brought him a fortune in treasure, just to buy ten stalks. In the second month, the mystic families competed to stuff their family heirlooms into his hands. They had no other motive. They just wanted to be friends. By the third month, Gu Ningyi's warehouse was piled high with gifts. He didn't want to accept any more, but an older senior who was several generations his senior clasped his hand. "Little Gu, if you don't accept these today, you're disrespecting me, old X!" A year after the spirit herb harvest began, word accidentally got out that Gu Ningyi liked men. Countless handsome, talented men with extraordinary gifts showed up hoping for a match, but an unreasonable "gatekeeper" chased every one of them away. The eldest young master of the Yu family, the foremost cultivation family, Yu Buli, was always mild-mannered, generous, and elegant. But this time, his expression darkened. He said coldly, "You're too late." Theme: Keep moving forward in the face of hardship, and stay strong through suffering.
