Trading Sheepskin for Melons

Twenty-three years ago, the Zhou family switched their sick child with the healthy child of the Chi family. Twenty-three years later, the Zhou family had become a wealthy and powerful household, while the Chi family had spent everything they owned trying to pay for their child's treatment. After becoming a powerful family, the Zhous brought their biological child home and announced that he was their "real young master." Chi Li, the "fake young master," was sent back to the Chi family. Chi Li's biological parents were penniless. His bitter father said, "Son, we don't have much to give you. But don't be afraid, we still have a melon field at home. It'll surely keep you fed." Chi Li replied calmly, "All right." So Chi Li began growing melons in the field alongside his father. One full-moon night, unable to sleep, Chi Li went out for a stroll. He gazed at the melon field beneath the moon and saw a stunning beauty dressed in ancient robes. The beauty was standing in his family's melon field, holding a melon. After a long moment of thought, Chi Li wondered: Had someone dressed in a cosplay outfit come to his house to steal melons? In the Yong Dynasty, the court valued civil officials over military ones. Tan Yushu had passed the palace exam and earned the title of palace graduate, only to join the army. His mother was always scolding him, calling him useless, hopeless, and a waste of all the effort she had put into raising him. The emperor had taken a new beauty as his consort and ordered his officials to present gifts. Tan Yushu held a low-ranking military post and had nothing but a cartload of sheepskins seized at the border. He was so worried his hair was falling out. Unable to sleep, he wandered beneath the moon and suddenly saw... a melon field? How could there be watermelons in the dead of winter? Curious, Tan Yushu picked up a melon and was about to examine it closely... "Hey, are you trying to steal my melons?" Tan Yushu: He wasn't! He hadn't! After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I have a cartload of sheepskins. Would you trade me a melon for them?" ★ Coming soon: Isn't My Master Just Trying to Seduce Me? After Yu Qingya was killed by his own master, he suddenly heard a conversation involving the System and learned that all his master's past kindness had only been meant to raise his favorability rating. Reborn in the past, Yu Qingya narrowed his eyes. Fine. If you want to play, then I'll play along! Seeing his master wiping his blade above a sea of clouds, Yu Qingya confidently walked over, lifted his chin, and gave him a wicked smile. "Why pretend to be pure and untouchable? You just want to seduce me, don't you?" Unexpectedly, a long-missed voice suddenly rang in his ear: Conqueror: "Huh? Didn't you say the person I was possessing was Yu Xiao?" System: "Master, it seems something has gone wrong in this world. Yu Xiao is still alive, so we can't get in!" Yu Qingya froze. He looked up at his master, who seemed perfectly calm. If his master hadn't slowly raised his 13,000-jin greatsword, Yu Qingya might have believed he really was calm. Known: His master is the famous Blood Slaughter Immortal Venerable of the Heavenly Realm. Question: What are the odds he survives... Master! Hear me out!
