Chu Xing transmigrates and opens his eyes to find himself as a tiny, three-year-old child wearing a bellyband. But that's not even the scariest part. From the memories of this body, he learns that both his parents and grandparents have died, and he is now living with his eight-year-old uncle.
Even worse, the funerals for his grandparents and parents have only just ended, and his seven aunts and eight uncles are already eyeing the three large-tiled houses where he lives.
Just as he reels from the shock, he sees his young uncle struggling to carry a bucket of water to the kitchen.
Still bleary-eyed and unsure what to do, he hears the other boy call out, "Xingxing, if you're awake, go play for a while. Food will be ready soon."
"Xingxing?" Chu Xing's eyes widen in shock. Isn't this body named Chu Ting?
He calls out in confusion, "Dad?"
Chu Zhenyuan immediately turns around in shock.
From then on, the Chu family establishes a household of their own, sells snacks, opens a workshop, and starts a private school. They thrive in everything they do.
Chu Xing feeds cats, teases dogs, herds cattle, and catches chickens. While urging his old dad to work hard and get ahead, he enjoys his youth freely.
This goes on until the year he turns six. Chu Zhenyuan, who passed the scholar examination at twelve, catches Chu Xing as he tries to run off and play: "You're six now. Time to grow up and start studying!"
Chu Xing: "You're taking revenge on purpose!" He feels the terror of having been raised under his own father's thumb all over again. "It's over. Can someone save me? Help!"
The Chu family producing two top scholars is unprecedented in the Jing Dynasty. When people first meet Chu Zhenyuan, they think he is peerless in the world, handsome and elegant. But when they meet Chu Xing, they realize he is even more extraordinary.
This story is also known as My Dad Hasn't Hit Me in Three Days, My Young Old Dad, and I Just Want to Be a Rich Second-Generation Bum
[Warnings] The father may feature more in the early chapters, while the son may feature more later. You could say they are co-leads.
[Note] The title and blurb are provisional.

[The Male Empress]
In Chu River, the greatest antagonist is a "madwoman" who murders her brother and father and ascends the throne at seventeen.
During "his" reign, confiscating estates and executing entire clans are trivial matters. If anything displeases her, even trusted followers who have served her for years are casually put to death. The whole court is furious, but dares not speak.
At eighteen, she resumes her female identity and proclaims herself the Empress of Shangkun. Ignoring the court's opposition, she strikes with thunderous force and has ministers massacred. From then on, the people suffer, rebellions erupt across the land, and the Great Jing enters an era of chaos under the Empress...
When Shi Yuyang transmigrates here, the Empress has only recently taken the throne. She has ordered the Prime Minister's son to become her Empress Consort. Unfortunately, he is that very son...
The first signs of chaos are already appearing, and there are less than two years before rebellions break out across the land. Less than five years remain before the "original male lead" kills the Empress and Shi Yuyang, the calamitous male empress who brings ruin to the nation.
Shi Yuyang (expressionless): It's fine. I can keep my head down a little longer.
[Warnings: 1. This is not a matriarchal world. The heroine becomes a female emperor in a patriarchal society.
2. The title is The Female Emperor, but this is a romance told from the male lead's perspective. The early chapters use both points of view, but the later chapters mainly follow the male lead (important). The heroine does not have modern values. She is bad, but not a bloodthirsty maniac. She kills for her own selfish reasons, and shouldn't be judged by modern standards. Don't read if this bothers you.
3. High-martial-arts setting. The heroine is invincible.
4. I changed the title but not the blurb. It used to be The Female Emperor, but since the story is told from the male lead's perspective, I didn't want people to accuse me of false advertising, so I changed it to The Male Empress.
5. I didn't expect this. To be added.]
Theme: Move forward bravely and fear no difficulties.

The protagonist is just pretending to be two years old, but this maid is so serious about finding a two-year-old baby to be a book boy?
In ancient times, being a book boy was not a good profession. The life of a book boy was very miserable. Let's first understand Su Tong's profession before writing about it.
I feel like it would be better to say ten taels. Judging from the price of the book copied by the male protagonist's father, one hundred taels is a bit exaggerated.
Why are there so many question marks? These chapters
In ancient times, imperial power was supreme. How could it be possible to write such a story about the royal family? Ancient people would not dare to listen to such stories about the emperor. It is understandable that the male protagonist just traveled through time and didn't expect it, but how dare those ancient people listen and buy it? Are they because they don't want to die soon enough? It is better to speak in public and let others tell the truth. If you want the male protagonist to make money, this is not the way to do it! There is also a book boy. The male protagonist does not want to think that his father is a boy student, and he will definitely have to take the college entrance examination in the future. It is too naive to consider becoming a book boy just because he wants to ride a horse. He also didn't think about it. If he really became a book boy, wouldn't he embarrass his father?
The story of Snow White is a bit of a drama! Farewell!
I feel that there is no need to make braised food next to the corvee people. Just make something like a lunch box. It is hot, moist, oily, and filling. After all, braised food is meat, even if it is not eaten, it costs money. It is not easy to wash, and it is difficult to remove the smell. It is better to have some spices or something, which is more expensive, and the cost goes up, so it cannot be sold.
The writing is for 2 and 8 year olds, but the actions speak for 8 and 15 year olds.
I wonder how long the male protagonist lived in his previous life, and he feels like he has always been hiding in an ivory tower without knowing anything about the world.
It's a bit silly indeed, and he's not a real child. Could it be that he's been affected by being in a child's body for a long time?
