I'm a Beloved Mermaid After Transmigrating Back, currently ongoing...
++++++Please wishlist the upcoming story: I'm Always Paying for My Siblings' Bragging++++++
A note for readers up front: The plot in the blurb won't appear until the story is complete. The author's imagination runs wild, and there are lots of original settings.
I wrote this in a hurry, so plenty of things may not be explained clearly. Read at your own risk.
Hu Fangyuan accidentally transmigrates to an interstellar world, where he's an undocumented person with no record of ever existing. No money, no home, no identity: it's safe to say life is tough.
Just as he's about to eat medicinal herbs to stave off hunger, he runs into space pirates plotting a murder and rescues the Imperial Marshal from them.
With the Marshal's help, Hu Fangyuan obtains legal citizenship in the Empire.
To make a living in the interstellar world, he opens a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
Since nobody in this world has heard of traditional Chinese medicine, the clinic faces skepticism when it first opens.
That is, until the old Marshal, who has suffered from gout for years, steps forward as his first patient.
After that, Hu Fangyuan's life takes off like a wild horse at full gallop, and there's no stopping it...
Not long afterward, a post appears on the interstellar web:
[Anyone know anything about that doctor Hu who came out of nowhere? What does he treat?]
Netizen A: Thanks for the invite. He cured my sister's scleroderma. She's gorgeous.
Netizen B: ?! Didn't he treat a certain kind of illness? He treated my dad.
Netizen C: You're done for, person above. Daddy's pulling out a forty-meter broadsword ^_^
Netizen D: He cured my husband's baldness. My husband is insanely handsome now.
Netizen E: ...Are all the things above true? He cured my paralysis, though.
Netizen: Who cares what Doctor Hu treats? Just go to him when you're sick. Traditional Chinese medicine is the best!
Hu Fangyuan: ^_^ Thanks for the invite. I'm really just a guy who cooks medicinal meals, exclusively for the Marshal!
Netizens: ...Aaaaaah, Doctor Hu, I want to have your babies!
Then one day, a video appears on the Marshal's Starblog.
In the video, the infamous leader of the space pirates laughs and cries as he confesses to his crimes.
Interstellar netizens: QAQ The Marshal is so scary!
Hu Fangyuan, who tickled the space pirate's funny bone: ...
Please wishlist my new story, too. Muah!
Upcoming story one:
I'm a Beloved Mermaid After Transmigrating Back
Qiu Yuanhe is always overlooked, wherever he goes, even by the family members who ought to be closest to him.
In elementary school...
His parents pick up his older brother and sister from school and take them all out to dinner...
Little Yuanhe stands alone at the school gate, looking around. Dad? Mom? Didn't you say you'd pick me up?
In middle school...
His parents take his older brother and sister, who have just graduated from high school, on a trip...
Little Yuanhe stands on a stool to cook for himself and smiles. At least there's food in the house.
In high school...
His parents go to his older brother and sister's university graduation ceremony...
Little Yuanhe gets everything ready himself and walks into the college entrance exam with his admission ticket, smiling. Soon I'll be able to earn my own money and leave.
Who could have guessed that after he receives an acceptance letter from a university far from home, a mysterious System would take him to a fantastical world of magic?
When he returns, the gods of the magical world give him a mysterious parting gift...
After returning as a water-blue mermaid, Qiu Yuanhe can't even walk. He says, "Come back. We need to talk. You call this a gift?"
For Qiu Yuanhe, everything else is just passing clouds. The System that's accompanied him all this way is still by his side, and that's worth more than anything.
The best thing about becoming a mermaid is:
Seafood and freshwater fish keep showing up uninvited for him to eat,
and he can hear all kinds of seafood and freshwater fish thinking, picking up all sorts of ridiculous gossip.
But it seems his life is about to change in a bigger way...
Older brother: I should have a younger brother, but where is he?
Older sister: Oh, right! I have a younger brother with the cutest smile...
Parents: Where's our little sprout?
Qiu Yuanhe smiles faintly. People say belated love is worth less than grass. What about belated family affection?
The System, who is also the heir to an old, established family, puts an arm around him. "What about me?"
Qiu Yuanhe gives him a loud kiss. "Mwah!"
Upcoming story two: I'm Always Paying for My Siblings' Bragging
My name is Lian Linyue. I have a huge family, and there are dozens of siblings in my generation. Every one of them loves showing off and making me the star of their tall tales.
I also have a System. It's called the Bragging System.
Whenever one of my siblings brags about me, my System forces me to study, then become the versatile genius they claimed I was, skilled in both the arts and martial arts.
Otherwise, they'll be erased by the System.
Even though they cause me a lot of trouble, I still love them. I've given up so much just to keep them alive.
From that point on, thanks to my siblings and their big mouths, my life becomes a living nightmare...
Eldest male cousin: Our Linyue is working for the country now. He's a top-level technician, you know?
System: Ding! Your eldest male cousin wants you to become a national-level information technology expert. Please learn to become a top expert within three months, then hand yourself over to the country. Otherwise, your eldest male cousin will be erased in three months.
Lian Linyue, an arts student who's terrible at school: What?
Second female cousin: My little brother has trained in martial arts since childhood. He even knows how to use hidden weapons.
System: Ding! Your second female cousin wants you to become a martial arts master. Learn to use hidden weapons and hit your target every time within one month, or your second female cousin will...
Lian Linyue, a hardcore, lazy shut-in: ?! Are you trying to make the impossible happen, you big oaf?
Third male cousin: Our Linyue...
Many, many years later...
Fourth female cousin: My little brother Linyue was a child prodigy. He got into a top-tier university at sixteen...
System: Ding! Your fourth female cousin wants you to become a child prodigy and get into a top-tier university. First, learn to build a time machine within one month.
Lian Linyue, now holding several posts in the country and busier than ever, raises a forty-meter broadsword. "Heh. I'll take them all down with me. First, I'm going to give those troublemakers a good beating."
Theme: Traditional crafts need to be passed down from generation to generation.
It was too fast. It felt like there was a lot of plot and elements in the front, but it was quickly passed through. According to the saturation of the plot, I don't even know if there are so many plots to be written in the next dozens of chapters. It slipped away.
The beginning is very anxious, I don't know what will happen next
Is this person sick? If you can't find the liar himself, just find someone to vent your anger on?
It's a bit uncomfortable, the ending notes are always "da" and "acridine" [changed][changed]
It feels a little bit. . . Baffling?
Free? Wouldn't it be bad? What should I do if I encounter those unreasonable people?
Hahahahaha, I am so confident in my cooking skills. This is the first male protagonist in an interstellar novel that I have seen who is not good at cooking hahh
So she can hurt others?
I watched Fishing at Work today on the web version! Very nice!
