Trash Planet: Everyday Life from Raising Kids to Building a Nation

"A lighthearted, sweet, kingdom-building story"

A king gong who wants nothing but retirement but keeps getting dragged into trouble x an elegant, cool-headed prime minister shou

Two strong leads who dote on each other, 1v1, happy ending.

After completing villain missions in a hundred worlds, Zhen Jin retired, only for things to go wrong immediately.

His System disappeared, and he shrank into an abandoned infant on a garbage planet.

The good news: The young man who found him seemed cold, but appeared willing to raise him.

The bad news: This garbage planet was so barren they had to distill their own drinking water.

Zhen Jin looked at the wasteland, where not a blade of grass grew, then at his tiny body, which couldn't even crawl, and fell into deep thought.

...Fine. If we're doing construction, we might as well start with a baby.

From then on, a strange sight could be found on the most dangerous garbage planet in the entire galaxy:

A shabbily dressed young man with a straight back, eyes closed as if resting, while the baby in his arms babbled out orders

There's recyclable metal to the east.

You can dig up groundwater to the west.

There's a working water-purification chip buried under that pile of rubble.

A few months later, the first green leaf appeared on the garbage planet.

In less than half a year, a settlement had sprung up in the wasteland.

Nineteen years later, a new location appeared on the interstellar map: Leon Star, the planet with the highest self-sufficiency rate in the galaxy. Its ecological restoration project was included in the Empire's curriculum.

Fifty years later, at the royal court of the Kingdom of Orr.

The prime minister was someone no one dared look directly at. When his eyes were closed, the council chamber fell silent; when he opened them, the decision was already made.

Only King Zhen Jin dared lean close to his ear and laugh. "You weren't this scary when you were digging for ore in the garbage heap."

The prime minister raised his eyes slightly. "And you weren't drawing pig heads on the greenhouse I'd only half-finished."

Then an assassination attempt came, with a weapon aimed at the king.

No one had time to react. They saw the ever-elegant, restrained prime minister shed every disguise for the first time.

He didn't move. In an instant, a terrifying aura crushed every threat.

He turned around. The inhuman coldness in his golden eyes had not yet faded, but when he looked at Zhen Jin, it softened into a trace of helplessness.

Before the eyes of everyone present, he walked toward his king and raised a hand

then lightly flicked the other man's forehead.

"This is what happens when you insist on transforming a garbage planet."

The next day's headline: "Assassination Attempt Foiled! Prime Minister's True Identity Remains a Mystery, Spends Three Hours Alone with the King in His Study!"
