Three Lifetimes as Chief Minister, Now I Lie Flat and Farm

. Xue Liqing has lived through three lifetimes already. In his first life, he was a ger who disguised himself as a man and made his way in the imperial court. He helped the Second Prince ascend the throne, became the chief minister, and fulfilled his ambitions. But the useless emperor was indecisive and had no mind of his own. All he could do was tilt his head and ask, "What do you think, my dear minister?" He was a hopeless case. In the end, all the officials joined forces to impeach the chief minister for regency. The emperor turned to him and asked, "What do you think, my dear minister?" Xue Liqing was so furious he coughed up blood and died of illness. In his second life, Xue Liqing returned to the capital in a rage and supported his rival, the Fifth Prince. Once again, his efforts earned him the position of chief minister. Who could have guessed the man would show his true colors soon after becoming emperor? He spent his days eating, drinking, and carousing, living in luxury and debauchery, and dumping all his work on his poor, helpless, frail chief minister. He would not even attend morning court. Once again, he was angered to death. In his third life, Xue Liqing thought it over carefully and decided there was something wrong with the royal bloodline. Not one of them was any good. So he found a general of impeccable character guarding the frontier and persuaded him to raise an army in rebellion. For the third time, he became chief minister. This time, the royal bloodline was fine, and the emperor was no slacker, but he still... not only planned to discard Xue Liqing once his usefulness was over, he also discovered that Xue Liqing was a ger and wanted to hide him away in the harem! The chief minister coughed up another mouthful of blood and died of anger. Again. Three lifetimes as chief minister, three lifetimes as an overworked lackey. Xue Liqing opened his eyes to discover a fourth life waiting for him... He was exhausted, utterly exhausted. What was the point of disguising himself as a man to fulfill his ambitions, helping someone ascend the throne, and reaching the pinnacle of power? He should have just spent his time plowing a couple more acres! Then he looked up at the handsome man before him and said, exasperated, "You've snatched me away four times already. Aren't you tired?" The man blinked, then smiled, his eyes curving. The man's name was Zhou Xian. He was a transmigrator whose life had started with both parents dead, an elder brother who gambled and drowned, and a household with only an acre and a half of land, five laying hens in the backyard, and 120 taels of loan-shark debt. With creditors chasing him every day, he was exhausted too. One day, he went to the county town to sell eggs. As he wondered whether he should just run away, he noticed everyone chattering and heading in the same direction, so he went along to see what was happening. It turned out the young ger from the Xue family was arguing with his parents. Overcome with emotion, the pretty youth ran out with a banknote in hand and shouted, "I can't stay in this family anymore. I want to get married. This hundred taels is my dowry. If you're willing, let's leave right now." Zhou Xian immediately grabbed the money with one hand, hoisted the person over his shoulder with the other, and ran five li without stopping. Was he tired? Zhou Xian said, "The hundred taels aren't important. It's mainly that I'm strong and healthy, and my wife is beautiful. Really." Character Tags Quick-tempered, aloof beauty ger bottom vs. Shameless, smooth-talking transmigrator top Author's Notes 1. Farming story. Many original settings. The pregnancy plot appears near the end. 2. The bottom is a proud, stubborn hothead. He died but never grew old, and he's even childish in some ways. He's not as profound as you might imagine a chief minister who has lived three lifetimes to be. Coming Soon: Two-Person Survival: Starting on a Foggy Island [Global Survival Series] [Natural Disasters] [Stockpiling] [Farming] [Infrastructure] When Jiang Ling woke up, he had been pulled into a two-person survival game. A million people were dropped onto various islands, surrounded by endless seawater and fog. Here, players not only had to work in pairs to survive in the wilderness, facing terrifying fog that devoured their sanity and attacks from powerful monsters, but also had to endure one natural disaster after another. Jiang Ling had it worse than most. Not only did his teammate die from the start, he was also a pretty face with a Charisma score of 10 and a Constitution score of 3. Other people could chop down a tree after swinging an axe six times. He would swing his axe six times, use up all his stamina, and pass out. How was he supposed to survive? Just as he was at his wit's end, a series of announcements rang out: [Congratulations, Player Jiang Ling! Your starting Charisma and Inspiration scores are both maxed out. You have received the exclusive title "Darling of the Gods," the exclusive bound item "Omniscient Magic Mirror," and one Awakening Stone ^_^] [Darling of the Gods: While wearing this title, all player attributes increase by 2, sanity limit increases by 20, and the favorability of all neutral creatures increases by 60. When attacked, there is a chance to summon nearby neutral creatures for assistance ^_^] [Omniscient Magic Mirror: Unlocks access to the full catalog of basic resources. The holder can spend spirit points to ask the mirror any question within its scope or predict future events, once a day ^_^] [Congratulations on awakening the profession of Rune Weaver. Spend spirit points to unlock and learn specific rune categories ^_^] Jiang Ling blinked. Maybe this game was playable after all? He used the mirror to scout resources and predict disasters. He relied on his Darling of the Gods buff and high Charisma to befriend NPCs and tame pets. He developed his Rune Weaver profession, unlocking all sorts of healing, defensive, offensive, and support runes; traded and stockpiled resources, opened up a plantation, and fortified and upgraded his shelter... Every day, Jiang Ling worked hard to survive. But he never imagined that, after the game selected one million people from a global population of ten billion and randomly sent them to deserted islands, he would run into his one and only ex-boyfriend. * Ever since Qi Qingyi learned that Jiang Ling had also entered the survival game, he had been worried every moment of every day. How could his frail, helpless, picky, neat-freak ex-boyfriend possibly endure this kind of hardship? So he came up with ways to send him a little warmth every day. Later, the two teamed up and moved in together. Qi Qingyi was stunned. "Why does a treasure chest spawn at your shelter every day, and why do different NPCs show up to give you resources? Why do all the System notifications you receive end with ^_^, and why does it even chat with you when nothing's happening???" Your game and my game don't seem to be the same.
