Blurb:
They say that if you work hard, you will reap the rewards.
I put that saying to the test, and proved it right.
I'm a famous playboy in the royal city of Zizhou, Caiyun Kingdom, devoted to eating, drinking, and having fun.
What playboys love most is competing with one another,
and I'm certainly passionate about that too.
I grew the biggest fruits and vegetables in all of Caiyun Kingdom.
The snowmen I build are practically works of art.
Lots of officials keep asking me to update my comic strips.
I'm an average musician, but I make up for it with the sheer number of instruments I play.
My book, The Farming Diary, is the bestselling book of the day.
My kites are intricately made.
I can also ski, swim, and race boats.
I think I'm the most exemplary playboy around. Even the Eight Immortals of Caiyun would have to praise me.
Actually, I never planned to become a playboy at first. It was that nightmare group from the imperial exams more than a decade ago that gave me a heart-to-heart and taught me I didn't need to strive for success.
The nightmare imperial exam group after reading A Day in the Life of a Playboy (the author's final confession): What the heck? Is he making this up?
Qing Ya: I hate the nightmare imperial exam group. They ruined my childhood friend's future!
As a playboy, I got a livestreaming System and started showing viewers more of Caiyun Kingdom's scenery. As a citizen of Caiyun Kingdom, I'm honored to do so.
But I have one condition.
Give me more fun, or I'll stop streaming.
The viewers kept their promise and gave me plenty of fun.
I also learned lots more secrets to enjoying life.
Little Chef's master taught me how to cook, Mr. Gintoki taught me to be carefree, the Yato taught me that a smile can mean murderous intent, and White Dragon taught me...
They're so generous.
Thanks to them, everything about my life has improved, from my health and appearance to my food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Whether it's the hot springs and monkeys of Hongzhou, the pandas, lakes, and shrines of Lanzhou, or Bizhou... I can take you to see it all. You're welcome to visit Caiyun Kingdom! Contact me at: Huangdong District, Zizhou Capital, Caiyun Kingdom, xxxxx!"
Blurb Two
Wan Xiusheng is a famous playboy in Zizhou, dabbling in all kinds of food, drink, and fun. From childhood on, he was the center of attention among the children of the nobility. He was handsome and clever, always coming up with unusual ideas and organizing all sorts of contests that looked like fun.
He knew plenty of people: his childhood friend Qing Ya, Lord Guan of the Ministry of Works, Minister Huang of the Ministry of Revenue, Minister Lai of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Jiang You of the Ministry of Personnel, the head of the Lan family...
Many people thought that once Wan Xiusheng grew up, he would enter the government with their help. But in reality, he kept pursuing his own amusements, and never tired of them.
He wrote all sorts of books and came up with lots of dishes. He even improved his techniques for growing fruits and vegetables.
Seeing what he was doing, everyone felt embarrassed to call it play. He was clearly benefiting other people.
After reading A Day in the Life of a Playboy (the author's confession page), they all thanked the members of the nightmare imperial exam group. Without them, how could such an impressive person have come to be?
The nightmare imperial exam group's reactions:
Chancellor You Shun: "As long as it ends well, that's all that matters."
Minister of Personnel Li Shen: "I only said he was stupid back then."
Minister of Revenue Qi Ren: "..."
Minister of Works Fei Xiang: "I don't think I did anything, but I'm grateful to him. He helped increase my grain yield, so now I can brew more wine."
Minister of Justice Lai Junchen: "I've been preparing his coffin and funeral all along."
Governor of Lanzhou Wen Zhong: "He's got guts. He's not afraid of me."
Governor of Hongzhou Zhi Mei: "You're welcome in Hongzhou."

The Possessive Male Supporting Character Wants to Fall in Love Too
[Let me taste the bitterness of love (serious face)]
Just as I was about to head to the secret base,
a livestreaming System that had suddenly bonded with me spoiled countless details.
According to the comments, I seem to be the possessive male supporting character in a novel about an elite academy.
Since I like the same top student as the male lead,
I'll pursue the top student obsessively, fail, and eventually leave the country in despair.
The comments urged me not to compete with the male lead, and not to go to the secret base just yet. Otherwise, I'd run into the top student and decide they were special.
But I insisted on going to the secret base anyway,
because life feels boring and needs a little excitement. I really want to experience something that can stir my emotions. I want to taste the bitterness of love.
But when I arrived at the secret base, full of anticipation,
I didn't meet the top student.
Instead, I ran into my sworn enemy.
That enemy was the male lead the comments had mentioned, and also the person who gave me a black eye.
I was so frustrated. What happened to the top student?
The comments were a little shocked too, but they didn't give up. Next, they told me about several places where I could meet the top student.
And yet I still didn't see even a trace of one.
My sworn enemy, the demon twins, my lazy childhood friend... I saw plenty of familiar faces, though.
They're nothing but obstacles to my one-sided love experience!
"You aren't messing with me, are you?"
[How could we possibly mess with you!!!]
"Then why haven't I met someone who makes me fall obsessively in love?"
[...]
Unable to experience the bitterness of love, I was utterly dejected.
"I really want an unrequited love that goes nowhere."
When my sworn enemy heard me say that, he said I was sick in the head for wanting to hurt myself. He suggested we date instead, the kind that was sure to have a happy ending.
The demon twins opened their arms to me and said they could date me.
My lazy childhood friend also sent me a request to date.
I was stunned.
This isn't how it's supposed to go!
The people in the livestream were shocked too.
Was the story they'd been watching all this time fake?
Theme: Take every day seriously and live well.
So after hearing the rumors of love, did Qingya plan to stay there?
Are you sure it's Qingya? In fact, I think it would be appropriate to have a few more people take care of the male protagonist.
★The plot is biased, and the data has proven this. I really want to write faster, but I can't help it. I don't know if I can bring it back. The little angels who can't accept it can just stop here. I really want to finish it quickly, but the emotional line hasn't started yet, and I haven't gone to Lanzhou yet, so I'm just writing it slowly. Feel sorry.
★Tweet for pre-collection: "Preferred by Non-Humans", "The Paranoid Male Supporting Actor Also Wants to Fall in Love", "I Live Broadcast in the Ultra World".
★There are many completed articles in the column, both short and long. If you like it, you can save it.
Wow ~ rare elegance
The male protagonist has such a detached and Buddhist mentality, I really can't guess who can open up the male protagonist's emotional line hahh
Although my heart is dead, my mouth is not. I can still eat. It's scary!
Like! I dug it out again and finished watching it. At that time, I seemed to have seen some of the plots together and stopped watching.
Who said the last sentence? Laughing to death
Finished spreading flowers! See you in the next one!
Will anyone fall in love with Xiu Sheng at first sight? Hahahahaha
