The Real Young Master Only Wants to Be World Champion [Sports]

Reborn at eighteen, Lu Bo, who already knew he was the real young master, decided to let it all go and play mahjong. In his previous life, he returned home hoping to regain his family's affection. But his parents thought he was stubborn and extreme, his friends thought he caused trouble for no reason, and everyone made him out to be utterly worthless. But while he struggled, his parents were renowned musicians, his fake younger brother Ye Ling was a promising classical music prodigy, and his friends had always been rising stars in the Go world. He only wanted other people to recognize that he was a genius, too. Instead, all he got was insults and blame. Back at eighteen, Lu Bo decided to live according to his own wishes this time. So what if he played mahjong? He could still sweep the world. But first, he had one small problem to solve: his luck had been stolen. He couldn't earn anyone's recognition, and he could even choke to death on a drink of water. Lu Bo, who had never been good at winning people over, thought it would be difficult. But before he had even graduated from university, he had achieved it all.

Please check out my upcoming story and add it to your collection! The Third Cafeteria at No. 1 High School Is Open! When misfortune strikes twice, Lu Zhixin, a city worker whose father has fallen and needs him to come home, receives a notice from his boss before he can request leave. If he won't hand over his personal media account for the company to run, the company can't provide a disloyal employee with a normal salary and benefits. Lu Zhixin doesn't even bother requesting leave. He resigns on the spot. He's done. Growing up, Lu Zhixin helped his father cater village banquets for their neighbors. He started his social media account to use its reach to help his father find a new peak in his career. But when he gets home, he discovers that his father has already taken over the senior-year cafeteria at the county's No. 1 High School to boost their income. So he has no choice but to help his father run the cafeteria for now. But so what? Lu Zhixin tosses the wok, knowing that good food isn't limited by location or ingredients. Even if it's cafeteria food, he can still make it famous across the country. Content note: This is a partly fictionalized setting. The high school cafeteria rules and holidays are based on those of a typical northern Chinese high school around 2015. Male protagonist, no romance, pure food story. Theme: Move beyond the past and become a better version of yourself.
