My Neighbor Is a Countryside Variety Show

After finally making it to the big city, office worker Sang Yu fails to keep up with the 996 rat race, happily takes his severance package, and heads back to his hometown to rest and recover.

Life back home is great: mountains, trees, a huge yard, a little detached house, and plenty of chickens to chase.

But before he can enjoy the peaceful life for long, a variety show rents out his neighbor’s land and house!

A bunch of farming novices become his new neighbors, and they keep messing up, again and again. They nearly set the house on fire while trying to cook over a traditional earthen stove, fertilize his seedlings right out of existence, fall into the pond while fishing, and twist their ankles under his fruit trees...

The glamorous celebrities work, work, work next door, while he rescues, rescues, rescues them. Before long, he becomes the neighbors’ very own emergency responder.

For the sake of the good life he wants in the future, he has no choice but to roll up his sleeves and work hard alongside his neighbors.

Country life isn’t easy. Can his neighbors try to be a little more reliable?

Reading Notes:

1. The story mainly focuses on country life, with very little about singing or acting in the entertainment industry.

2. All characters, variety shows, and so on in this story are fictional and have no connection to any real-life shows, celebrities, or anything else. CP: laid-back, lie-flat Xiao Sang x Cheng Jing, chasing his dream of becoming an actor.

3. The pacing is slow. The entertainment industry only comes into play through variety shows.

4. My writing skills are limited, and the characters aren’t perfect. If you dislike a character or plot point, please close the page and part on good terms. No writing advice, please.

5. My new novel, Dorm Manager, We Have a Problem!, is now live. The previous follow-up novel, The Pet Treat Shop, is complete.
