After Reincarnating as Cannon Fodder in a Farming Novel

[Coming Soon: A Farming and Infrastructure-Building Story, “Building Infrastructure in a Primitive World”~Feel free to add it to your reading list~]

Lin Xingci opened his eyes to discover he had transmigrated into a farming novel, becoming a nasty relative of the protagonist who wouldn't survive more than a few chapters.

In the story, he was lazy and greedy, cheated and schemed, stole the protagonist's recipes, and made life difficult for him. There was nothing he wouldn't do, only things he hadn't thought of yet.

In the end, his misdeeds were exposed, he was driven out of the village, and he starved to death on the road while begging.

Knowing roughly how the plot went, Lin Xingci looked at the nearly empty rice jar and the ramshackle house, then hefted his hoe.

In an era when people could barely eat their fill, why waste time targeting the protagonist? Earning enough to eat well came first!

So while the protagonist and his nasty relatives schemed against each other, Lin Xingci grew vegetables in the fields.

While the protagonist and the person he liked were separated by a misunderstanding, Lin Xingci experimented with pastries.

While the protagonist and his sweetheart parted ways, Lin Xingci brought a man home to be his “laborer,” then drank fruit wine and ate pastries, happily living his little life.

Later, Lin Xingci renovated his house and opened a shop in town. He could even smell the aroma of meat every day.

The villagers who had once looked down on him saw his stylish, simply decorated home and grew green with envy. They tried every which way to marry their daughters off to him.

There was the daughter from the eastern end of the village, beautiful as a fairy; the Li family's daughter, thrifty and good at managing a household; the Wang family's son, hardworking and capable...

Lin Xingci was overwhelmed and hurriedly refused them all. “No, no, I don't need anyone!”

As soon as he sent them off and returned to his room, a man pinned him against the door and nibbled his ear as he asked, “Thinking of getting married?”

Lin Xingci nearly wept. “I'm not! I didn't! Don't make things up!”

The man chuckled. “It's fine. I'll marry you.”

Lin Xingci: ??

After they married, Lin Xingci, who had spent a strenuous night, lay on the bed thinking. All he'd wanted at first was someone to keep him company. How had things turned out like this?

1. A cunning, powerful gong who plays dumb and catches his prey off guard X a shou who transmigrated and only wants to live a good life.

2. An alternate ancient-world farming story. Men can form a bond and live together. The romance develops slowly and steadily. They work hard and gradually improve their lives, without switching settings too often.

3. Everything in this story is fictional. Any conversions or similar details will be explained in the author's notes. Don't overthink the setting; this is a lighthearted ancient-world story.

4. The author is a simple, honest person who just writes away. If we meet, it's fate. I'll be even happier if you enjoy it, but if you don't, don't put yourself through it. Just leave!

Coming Soon

“Building Infrastructure in a Primitive World”

Jiang Yu, an outstanding employee of the Space Administration, had completed his assignment in the cultivation world and was preparing to head to his next world.

Then something went wrong with the System, and he fell into a primitive society.

The good news was that his System still worked, and he still had everything from the previous world.

The bad news was that he was tied to a wooden post, about to be sacrificed by the people of the tribe.

Jiang Yu: ...I really can't thank you enough.

To survive, Jiang Yu had no choice but to use a few little tricks.

At the same time, he discovered that the people here had no warm clothes or decent homes, and that a great many of them starved to death every year.

Looking at the bloody, unidentifiable food on the stone table, he fell into deep thought. For the sake of his stomach, Jiang Yu rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Not enough food? Grow some! Damp homes? Build new ones! The tribe isn't safe? Build a wall!

Weaving cloth, brewing wine, making salt, firing pottery: he improved their meals and left nothing out.

Watching the tribe grow more prosperous by the day and gradually become the most advanced around, Jiang Yu felt deeply fulfilled.

Just as Jiang Yu was about to quit and go traveling, the tribal chief cornered him, his gaze fierce. “Where do you think you're going?”

Jiang Yu was confused. “Out traveling, of course.”

The chief: “Too late. Now you're part of the tribe, and you're not going anywhere!”

Jiang Yu was puzzled. “??” How had he not heard about this?

The chief: “Unless you take me with you.”

The tribespeople wailed, “The tribe needs you! Don't abandon us!”

Jiang Yu covered his face and fell silent. Great, now he couldn't walk away from his responsibilities.

Friend's Novel

“He's a Top-Tier Star and Never Pretends to Be a Cat”

As the Fang family's only kitty, Fang Baixu had always been doted on. But ever since he entered the entertainment industry, people often criticized him. Then an accident turned him back into his true form, and he nearly died by the roadside before his nemesis took him in.

His nemesis not only bandaged his wounds, but also cooked for him and played with him.

Just as Fang Baixu decided that Qin Junye was pretty great apart from being a little quiet and having a rather strong grip, and let bygones be bygones by promoting him to official cat butler, Qin Junye suddenly showed his true colors.

He clung to Fang Baixu no matter what he was doing and would steal kisses from time to time. Even in his sleep, he called out, “Sweetie, sweetie, let's sleep together.”

There were no refunds after an upgrade, so Fang Baixu could only lie flat and accept it. But then another accident happened.

One morning, Fang Baixu woke up and, out of habit, smacked Qin Junye in the face with a paw.

“Meow~”

Go make breakfast!

Looking at the long, slender, knuckle-defined fingers on Qin Junye's face, the two stared into each other's eyes, both stunned.

Fang Baixu: Holy crap, my cover's blown?!

Qin Junye: Why is this person here? Where's my sweetie?!

-

Later, as their relationship grew closer, the two were invited to appear on the same travel variety show.

The director brought the guests to Qin Junye's home to film

A guest noticed the unusual-shaped cat bed in the living room and asked, “Brother Qin, where did you buy this cat bed? I want to get one for my little sister, too.”

Before Qin Junye could reply, Fang Baixu, engrossed in his phone and having already asked Qin Junye not to reveal their relationship, blurted out, “I bought the materials online with free shipping for 99.99. He made the rest himself. If you want one, I can send you the link.”

Guest/Viewers: ??!!

[Question: People online say you're the celebrity who's best at pretending to be a cat. What do you think?

Fang Baixu: Thanks for asking. A top-tier star never pretends, meow~]
