My Golden Finger Is My Ex's Ancestor

[You Know How Many Words My Complete Draft Has? 520,877 (Unedited, No Extra Chapters)] In other people's eyes, Yuan Tian won the favor of the Star Empire's prince with his good looks and got into the best university in the galaxy. He was the luckiest person alive. At least, that's how things seemed until the heir to the throne announced his engagement to the child of a great noble family. * Not long after Yuan Tian was "dumped," an "old grandpa" appeared inside the jade pendant he'd worn since childhood. The "old grandpa" had a pleasant voice, incredible power, and wealth beyond measure. He could even help Yuan Tian with his fights through an on-demand service. The moment he opened his mouth, he asked Yuan Tian to sign a contract with him, saying Yuan Tian's mental soothing ability was one of a kind. His tone was cool and distant, as if circumstances had left him with no choice: "When I want to terminate the contract, I hope you'll cooperate immediately. You'll receive additional mental compensation." Yuan Tian, who was being made trouble for at every turn by his ex-fiancée: "...I'll cooperate. Of course I'll cooperate!" He'd planned to refuse, but the other party was offering way too much! * Xie Xingzun's first impression of Yuan Tian: Beautiful, but shallow-minded; at a low point in his love life, having just been dumped by a distant descendant from who-knew-how-many generations down the family line. And the thing he found most unbearable: Yuan Tian was passionately infatuated with him. When Xie Xingzun first awoke, Yuan Tian's room was full of portraits and information about him, a "deceased person." Like some kind of stalker. Some time later, Xie Xingzun thought: Once the contract ends, I should find Yuan Tian a good home. A while after that, Xie Xingzun decided: I am that good home. Just then, Yuan Tian took down all the information about Xie Xingzun in his room and replaced it with another man's. Then he pulled out a textbook: "The Five Leaders Most Worth Remembering in the Past Five Hundred Years." Yuan Tian continued working on his assignment for the course: compiling the biography and information of the second leader. To get a high grade and keep his GPA up, he'd immersed himself in being the second leader's fan. The "leader," whose profile had already been compiled, turned around and saw Yuan Tian's reminder: One month until retirement and financial freedom (contract termination)! =3= Xie Xingzun: "..." * With the help of his golden finger, Yuan Tian discovered the only healing-type mental power in the galaxy and his extraordinary talent for card-making. A group of infected creatures even chased after him, calling him "King." But when he was about to leave for a new map, Yuan Tian inexplicably discovered that the people trying to keep him there included not only his "ex," but also his ex's childhood friend, and even his ex's fiancée. Much later, Yuan Tian discovered that the "old grandpa" who came with the jade pendant wasn't just his ex's ancestor, but also the emperor of the oldest country in the galaxy. Reader's guide: A naturally gifted, beautiful genius on the receiving end x a possessive, two-faced, split-personality emperor on the giving end, with a contract-marriage-to-love progression (both the portable golden finger and the emperor). 1. The complete 520,000-word draft is already finished. Updates will follow the ranking schedule. Bonus chapters may appear from time to time for gifts of nutritional fluids, comments, and so on. Regular daily updates are in full swing. 2. First love for both. The giving partner has no romantic experience. The receiving partner's ex was a misunderstanding; he has no romantic experience either. 3. A childhood-fantasy portable old-grandpa golden finger. He's old, but looks young and handsome, and he's powerful too. 4. A fictional interstellar setting with lots of original worldbuilding. Don't nitpick the political system, which is a mixture of different setups, and don't compare it to any real-world model. 5. Still the same indulgent, feel-good style, with a universally adored protagonist. The author had a blast finishing the whole draft and hopes readers enjoy it too. If it's not to your taste, feel free to leave. Please don't offer genre or writing advice, since I can't change anything now that the entire draft is finished, hehehe. 6. I'll ruthlessly delete arguments and malicious comments. [An explanation: The original story I planned to write was called "The Foolish Beauty Gets the Great Villain System," but I was stumped for a long time. My writing habits kept limiting my imagination, and I couldn't come up with many scenarios where the protagonist had to play a villain without actually hurting anyone. But without stronger twists, the scenarios felt too weak and not satisfying enough, so I couldn't get the quick transmigration story off the ground. This novel takes one of those smaller worlds and expands, revises, and reworks it into a full-length story.] I'm drafting my next planned novel now, and may start posting it during a quiet spell in January or February: "The Infinite-Flow Boss's Kindergarten" Shi Yu transmigrated into a revenge-and-power-up novel. The male protagonist returned to his home world after clearing an infinite-flow game with the help of his golden finger, vowing to take revenge on everyone who had ever framed him. Shi Yu was the first foolish cannon-fodder character to be targeted. He was thrown into the infinite-flow world, where countless monsters tore him apart, leaving him with a horrific end. Knowing what awaited him, Shi Yu packed his things and fled overnight, settling down in a remote city as a veterinarian. But he didn't know that, as the worlds were beginning to merge, many creatures from the original infinite-flow novel had shrunk to the size of plush toys, barely clinging to life as they waited to die. * Life in the small town moved at a leisurely pace. Shi Yu's veterinary clinic was quiet, and his days were wonderfully relaxed. Aside from the occasional outing where he'd find an unknown creature in need of help along the road: an injured, ferocious "puppy," a weak, mutated "fish," a poisoned, irritable "bird," and so on, everything was perfectly normal. Though the little ones were all spoiled and rambunctious, Shi Yu never lacked patience when caring for injured animals. Thanks to his easygoing nature, he soon turned his veterinary clinic into a "kindergarten for injured strays," and became the little animals' favorite person. * Shi Yu hadn't been thrown into an infinite-flow game, but the world he lived in had somehow merged with the infinite-flow world. After spotting the first infinite-flow creature near his home, Shi Yu swiftly arranged for someone to look after his pets, then vanished without a trace. He'd accepted payment to care for a bunch of "adorable" furry employees. One night, when he got up and saw a pair of enormous eyes as tall as a person, he was so terrified he nearly never went back to sleep. The terrifying monster asked him to pass on a message to the human authorities: If they wanted the monsters to go back and regain control of the rampaging infinite-flow creatures, they had to find its missing employer. And they weren't allowed to scare him. * While the two worlds prepared to establish diplomatic relations and live in peace, an insubstantial, even absurd rumor began to spread: To win over the proud and ruthless infinite-flow Bosses, you first had to win over their king, a human named Shi Yu. Theme: Love others as you love yourself.
