I'm the Hope of the Whole Family [Interstellar]

My new novel next door, This Cultivation World Is a Little Strange, is now open for reading! Story Blurb Xu Jiujiu, born on a garbage planet, is the best little scavenger on the whole planet. After all, she scavenged her entire family herself! Her mom is a housewife who tears the house apart, her dad is a drunk, and her older brother is an idle young man who lies flat. But it’s fine. Xu Jiujiu loves this warm, harmonious home. She’ll protect it! Until one day, she sees something her mom dismantled. It looks just like the exoskeleton mecha listed on the Star Network, with a price tag containing more zeroes than she can count. A strange uncle strokes her little head and says, “Just like Marshal Luther’s daughter.” And the fearsome gang leaders who used to chase the little scavengers around all bow to her in unison and shout, “Hello, little sis!” Xu Jiujiu: ? The adult world is so complicated. I’d rather go pick through garbage. A Not-So-Serious Little Scene Interviewer: Xu Jiujiu, what’s the key to your success? Xu Jiujiu: Working really hard and scavenging garbage day and night. Interviewer: So you’re telling everyone that if they work hard, they can become winners in life? Xu Jiujiu: No. I mean that if you find family members with cheat powers, you can win without lifting a finger. Note: A story about a loving family in a broken world, who love and fight each other (crossed out). Set in a sci-fi dystopia. Please don’t read it as a reflection of real life. Upcoming Novel After following a path of cultivation that defied the heavens, Song Yi is consumed by her inner demon. Her tribulation fails, and she transmigrates tens of thousands of years into the future. Cultivation civilization is still flourishing, but something about this cultivation world is off. Song Yi has shrunk into a little bun and been captured. She thinks she’s about to be used as material, with her heart cut out and bones harvested But in fact, she’s been dragged off to attend a cultivation primary school. What is this compulsory education thing? Back in her day, countless young men and women fought tooth and nail for a chance to join a sect. Now every child has to study? Song Yi: Actually, I’m an ancestor... Teacher, without looking up: I’m tired of hearing that excuse for skipping class. Next. Sword cultivation was once considered the easiest path to breakthrough and ascension. Song Yi may not be much, but she was one of the best among sword cultivators. Yet the teacher gazes at Song Yi with concern. “There aren’t many jobs in this field.” Song Yi: ? The school announces a secret realm field trip. Song Yi polishes her life-bound sword until it gleams, murder in her eyes. She knows how this goes: deceit and betrayal, killing and looting are the norm in trials. But no one will take a single thing from her. Her deskmate looks at her sword and asks, confused, “Why didn’t you bring more snacks for the spring outing?” Song Yi: ? Note: 1. My own take on modernized cultivation, with tons of original worldbuilding. Silly and heartwarming. 2. This world differs greatly from my version of the cultivation world, so I don’t recommend using this novel as a cultivation textbook. If you fail to get started, don’t blame me. Theme: Work hard to change your life.
