[Historical BL, Three-Foot Green Blade: Please add it to your reading list. Blurb at the very bottom]
Blurb:
Zhao Wen used to think that all he could love was money.
But eventually, he came to understand.
If all you seek in life is money that you can't take with you when you arrive or when you leave, how is that any different from an animal seeking meat? How is it any different from a beast?
Seek a little affection, a little connection, a heart to call your own, and life becomes worthwhile.
Zhao Wen wants a life worth living. Zhao Wen wants Xie Jiuchen.

P.S.
1. One-on-one, happy ending. The blurb is from the gong's perspective, while the story has both characters' perspectives.
2. I'm terrible at writing blurbs, so please give the story itself a chance.
Blurb for Three-Foot Green Blade:
Lu Xingzhou, a miserable student who had only just finished his middle school entrance exams, downloaded a martial arts game called Three-Foot Green Blade. When he woke up, he had entered the game's world.
The chuunibyou teenager Lu Xingzhou made this vow: For the sake of summer vacation, I shall stand watch from this day forth, and never rest, even in death. I will not slack off, procrastinate, or run away. I will eat more and sleep less. I will sacrifice my hair and grind until I drop. I am the game's bug, the missions' dog, the poster boy for grinding. I will devote my time and energy to these missions, today and every day thereafter.
He made his vow with all the confidence in the world, but when it came to doing the missions, he was a complete mess.
First mission: Steal an egg
Lu Xingzhou's result: He nearly got killed by a mutated hen.
Second mission: Study and learn martial arts
Lu Xingzhou tried his best: The writing brush burned his hand, running gave him palpitations, and he fell flat on his butt while practicing horse stance.
Lu Xingzhou looked utterly dejected. "Do I still have any hope of getting home?"
-
Years later, Lu Xingzhou stood atop the Ascending Heaven Tower, one step away from the final mission.
He turned around, and his family, friends, and beloved appeared one by one in his mind.
Lu Xingzhou thought: It was only a dream. He'll forget it.
...Really?
-
Missions he has no choice but to complete, a fate he cannot control
An epic ensemble story / coming of age / the way of the hero
Utter chaos in the early chapters, slaughter galore later on
P.S.
1. The protagonist's vow borrows a passage from Game of Thrones.
2. A light fantasy game setting with a wuxia core. Expect plenty of strange worldbuilding and utter nonsense.
3. I've been stockpiling chapters since the summer solstice of 2024. The story is expected to start in 2025.
Theme: Keep a kind heart, do good deeds, and be a good person.
The ending is just like the title of the book. Xiao Zhao finally found out what I wanted. After a life of hardship, he met his beloved and was saved. The author's writing style is very good, the article is eloquent, and the ending is clear.
Finally, the scene that impressed me the most in the previous introduction wwww is so cute, so sweet, so warm, I really want such a beautiful day to go on TT▽From then on, there are two more people who love each other in the world. From the time Zhao Yu cast his eyes on money in the Buddhist temple, he only wished that his sweetheart would have a worry-free life, and from Xie Jiuchen, who had been tossing and turning for many days, his thoughts were confused, and finally revealed his heart, he only wished Zhao Yu to live a long life, the beauty in the world is really intertwined??
Best wishes in advance 99 After Xiao Zhao recognized his feelings for Xiao Xie, he just wanted to make a vow and was afraid of being disrespectful. He thought about it deeply, tossed and turned, but didn't dare to express it to his mouth. As for Xiao Xie, she was also a person who did not dare to express her love with her mouth, so her mind was confused and confused, and her soul was gone for a moment. In the end, fortunately, both of them knew that your heart is like mine, and they didn't miss each other. Needless to say, Zhao and Xie are getting married tonight, and I'm sitting at Mian Mian's table! T▽T
Alas, I just want to sigh and have mixed feelings. Xiao Xie is destined to forgive Zhao Yu. The author stops here. It is just right for the word love. It is wonderful, but it is like the end. It is over on the stage. After that, it makes people feel a little confused, just like everyone knows that "the prince and the princess lived happily ever after", but this ending is enough for children. For me, I can only say that I am a little bit. . . It can't be said that it's not perfect, after all, they have promised to be together. With their temperament, it should be a day of steady flow in the future, but it's hard to calm down. Although the expression of words must be limited, maybe the rhythm set by the author is different from what I expected, or even I can't say that I hope to write more, because this ending is really the best. Alas, I really enjoyed reading it. The common people are very rich. Although they have little to do with the main protagonist, there is not too much to read. The author's words make it possible to read slowly. . . Well
I want to turn into that sycamore tree Be the lap fiddle you play And I'm afraid when you'll be unhappy Push me aside and silence me We broke up, we started to abuse each other T_T
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so sweet
Ah↑ah↓ah→ah↓What is this? What's this? What's this? Xiao Xie, this is what I think about every day and what I dream about every night! When dreams and reality intertwine, I am shocked to realize that my love is as deep as the sea, so I am in panic all day long. Only by expressing love can I understand my lovesickness! The day when Xiao Xie sorted out her thoughts was the wedding night between Zhao and Xie! Etc? Xiao Zhao wants to marry someone else? Don't believe it??? You're still marrying someone else in one day without missing her like crazy? The rumors spread by some melon boy are all treacherous (╯ε╰) [posted the comments of the two chapters together orz]
Why are we suddenly getting married?
At this time, Shopkeeper Zhao needs a warm hug from Jiuchen, and preferably a kiss (ok, I really want to see it)
