I Really Don't Want to Inherit the Family Business!

Lu Yun was an utterly ordinary orphan of the Empire. His life's goal was to get into the Imperial Military Academy, where tuition was free, study mechanical engineering, so he wouldn't have to fight on the front lines, then graduate and become a career soldier in a desk job. He'd secure a stable government position, move into government-assigned housing, and reach the pinnacle of life.

But when he was twelve, during his first career-track selection, a relative showed up, claiming there was a huge family fortune waiting for Lu Yun to inherit.

Lu Yun: ? I bet you want to harvest my kidneys!

The Empire had long since established a comprehensive national gene database. If you tried, you could find not only your own grandson, but even your fifth granduncle's seventh maternal uncle. Faced with a relative who had vanished for nearly ten years and suddenly turned up at his door, Lu Yun immediately called the police. "Hello, Officer. How much is the reward for providing a lead on a human trafficker?"

Kulen Teach, the Pirate King who had ruled the seas of stars for a lifetime, had never imagined he'd be arrested one day. And for kidnapping and human trafficking, of all things! What a disgrace! Sure, he was a pirate, but he was a pirate with principles and boundaries. He'd never prey on women or children!

Pirate King: "You really are my precious darling!" His own grandson!

Lu Yun: Heh. So you don't just want my kidneys, you want to transplant my heart, too!

Pirate King: "Come home with me. You can inherit a planet and become a success." Become the third generation of a notorious interstellar pirate family.

Lu Yun: "Thanks, but my dream is to serve my country and my people. I don't need to be outstanding or dazzling. I'm happy to be an ordinary cog in the machine." He successfully landed a stable government job!

Coming soon: Even as a Dog, I Still Have to Go to School

Lang Xinghe once wished that in his next life, he'd rather be a dog than a person. Being human was too hard. He spent money on tutoring when he was in school, then worked himself to the bone after he got a job. Every day, he survived on iced Americanos, and life was utterly joyless.

And then...

Lang Xinghe really did turn into a dog! He was a pampered dog from a wealthy family, waited on by a whole houseful of maids. Life was wonderful.

Just as Lang Xinghe thought his luck had finally turned and prepared to spend a happy life as a dog, the unexpected happened. His handsome master and beautiful mistress performed a little "human-to-dog transformation" trick right in front of him. Terrified, Lang Xinghe changed from a dog back into a human!

It turned out the masters weren't his masters at all. They were his parents: a mighty gray dog and a beautiful white dog. And he was their puppy.

"Wonderful! Xiao Xing has successfully taken human form. Send him to school!" The white dog was overjoyed.

Lang Xinghe, who had gone from human to dog and then back to human: !!! Damn it, are you messing with me? I've already become a dog, so why do I still have to go to school!

This is a lighthearted story about the everyday school lives of the boys and their friends, who are actual foxes and dogs.
