I'm the Tragic Father of the Dragon-Proud Protagonist [Book Transmigration]

Blurb:

Qiu Yibo transmigrated into a world of cultivation. He thought he was about to begin a life of brutal struggle against fate...

As it turned out, he had a heavenly spiritual root, was the eldest legitimate son of a powerful clan, and could cultivate automatically while lying down, with resources delivered every month.

In this life, he had won by doing nothing!

At six years old, Qiu Yibo suddenly realized that he had actually transmigrated into a cultivation novel from a major web-fiction platform. The protagonist was his son, in a classic good-for-nothing-to-hero story: after being dumped, avenging his family, and rebuilding his spiritual root, he would cultivate all the way to becoming the Celestial Emperor.

Well, damn. His son was a chosen-one hero!

Wait! Didn’t that make him the father who tragically died at the hands of the chosen one?

To stop the plot from unfolding, Qiu Yibo decided... Couldn’t he just not have this kid?!

As the saying goes: no marriage, no kids, an immortal life! No kids to bear or raise, endless years of prosperity!

#As long as I’m strong enough, no one can kill my whole family!#

“The Qiu family head is getting married? Isn’t he cultivating the Emotionless Dao? To whom?!”

“To his divine incarnation, which split off from him years ago.”

#The Emotionless Dao big shot has shocked me again today#

CP: Self-pairing, with a silly, laid-back, salty-fish original body shou X a wickedly charming, dazzling, wildly arrogant divine-incarnation gong

The protagonist is invincible at full power. If the gong and shou fought each other, the gong would be weaker and the shou stronger.]

I’ve Claimed This Mountain

A fun, slice-of-life mountain-gathering story, shou POV

Chen Qiu is an overworked office drone stuck on the 996 schedule.

Ten years after his grandfather died, he was unexpectedly bound to a temple-rebuilding System. Forced to quit his job in the big city, he returned to his hometown to inherit a mountain and a dilapidated mountain god temple.

The villagers were being bothered by “spirits,” but Chen Qiu stuck to his principles of putting science first. He gritted his teeth and used fake mystical methods to bring peace to Little Green Mountain, successfully rebuilding the mountain god temple along the way.

Villager A: “Master Chen, help! I think my family offended the Yellow Immortal. Our chickens have all been bitten to death!”

Chen Qiu wiped his face and brought out a wire cage. “Don’t panic when something happens. First, let’s set a weasel trap.”

Villager B: “Master Chen, something’s possessed our pig! It... it sings in the middle of the night!”

Chen Qiu kept a straight face. “Don’t panic. This is a good omen! The Mountain God has surely chosen it! Let’s get a butcher to clean it up today, and tomorrow I’ll set up an incense table and an altar to worship the Mountain God! Once we’re done, everyone can have a meal of pork and vegetables together!”

In the eyes of the people of Little Green Mountain Village, their new temple keeper was a mysterious and powerful figure. Ever since he took over, the village weasels had stopped wreaking havoc, the mice had stopped dancing around the houses, and the pigs had stopped partying in the middle of the night. Little Green Mountain was thriving.

But Chen Qiu, revered by the villagers, now faced a new problem. He had painted a touch of golden red onto the corner of the mountain god’s eye, and then the statue...

Suddenly opened its eyes.

This... was kind of a big problem.

After thinking it over, Chen Qiu called a certain number.

“Hello, 110? I’ve got something I’d like to turn over to the state!”

A silly, barefoot temple keeper shou X a cold and beautiful mountain god gong. Shou POV, no big boss or grand conspiracy, just a mountain-gathering tale of eating, drinking, and cuddling fluffy critters.

Theme: Strive hard, overcome every obstacle, and work toward a better future.
