Geographer Zou Yanqi transmigrates to ancient times. Deep in the wilderness, among swamps and rugged mountains, he becomes a human navigation system, helping the people evacuate to safety. There, he runs into his arranged-marriage match, the Commander-in-Chief of Xuanzhou, Xia Chengfeng. They meet face-to-face, yet neither recognizes the other.
Resisting Xia Chengfeng's good looks, Zou Yanqi turns down an offer to become Xuanzhou's official topographer. To complete his System mission, he travels across the Duan Dynasty, mapping the entire realm.
A dried-up spring gushes with water in Sweetwater Village. Could it be a miracle?
Can a tree get drunk? A sinister forest of walking sticks appears, and strange, poisonous red fruit suddenly sprouts... Who is the mysterious man driven out of the Walking Stick Forest? Could the Walking Stick Immortal be angry?
Can the people of Creekside Village, whose streams have been dry for years, dig up groundwater again?
Zou Yanqi sighs: Superstition is deeply harmful. Ignorance is no good.
He travels across the Duan Dynasty, surveys the land, rescues people from landslides, locates underground water, teaches geography, promotes science and technology, organizes disaster drills, measures land, builds granaries, develops new districts, and resettles the people.
Embrace science, leave ignorance behind, and make a name for yourself.
The Duan and Liang Dynasties go to war.
With Zou Yanqi's maps in hand, the young general Xia Chengfeng is invincible, pulling off seven surprise attacks. Zou Yanqi once again becomes a human navigation system, venturing deep into enemy territory until peace finally comes to the realm.
Also known as What Do I Do When I Keep Falling for the Person My Arranged Match Broke Off Their Engagement With? and I Want to Break Off My Engagement
When Zou Yanqi sees the gorgeous Xia Chengfeng in the dark water, he thinks, I've fallen for a man.
That won't do!!!
Zou Yanqi has an arranged-marriage match with whom he has tried and failed to break off the engagement eighteen times. He tries, fails, tries again, and fails again.
The reason he wants to end it is that his match is a man.
Xia Chengfeng says he also has a childhood friend he's promised to marry.
Zou Yanqi can't accept this, so he goes around spreading rumors that he's Xia Chengfeng's fiance.
It works at once. From Yuzhou to Xuanzhou to Yizhou, everyone knows that Xia Chengfeng has a childhood-friend fiance, the Duan Dynasty's number-one spoiled wastrel.
As a result, Xia Chengfeng's arranged-marriage match breaks off their engagement.
Zou Yanqi panics and tries to break off his own engagement, failing again and again, then trying again and again...
Feeling guilty for starting the rumors, Zou Yanqi gathers information on noble young ladies and beautiful women around town, and arranges dates for Xia Chengfeng.
But all of the women he sets Xia up with end up falling for Zou Yanqi instead.
Huh?
For some reason, Zou Yanqi discovers that all of Xia Chengfeng's admirers are men!
Zou Yanqi announces to the world, "Actually, my arranged-marriage match is a man."
His admirers: ???
Xia Chengfeng: "What a coincidence. Mine is too."
Zou Yanqi: "Didn't someone break off your engagement?"
Xia Chengfeng: "I never agreed to it."
Zou Yanqi: ???
Xia Chengfeng, Marquis of Jingning, General Who Pacifies the Far Reaches, and Commander-in-Chief of Xuanzhou and Yuzhou, is going to marry Zou Yanqi, the carefree heir to a duke's title.
Young Master Zou: "You won't regret it?"
Young General Xia: "Eighteen times."
Young Master Zou: "What?"
Young General Xia: "You've tried to break off our engagement eighteen times."
Young Master Zou: "I'm sorry."
Young General Xia: "Heartless man."
Young Master Zou: "..."
Xia Chengfeng rejected him eighteen times.
Reader's guide: 1) One-on-one romance.
2) The transmigrated top is a perfect match for the original body's identity, and seamlessly inherits and builds on his memories, experiences, and personality. That's how it is.
3) Thanks for reading.

Coming soon: The Evil God Visits Dreams Tonight
Wumei breaks through the seal on the boundless dream realm and emerges in a strange little town in the mortal world: Dream Immortal Town.
There, he meets a beautiful man trapped in a bamboo grove, a storyteller who constantly recounts legends of the ancient Creator Gods and Evil Gods, a mortal girl whose appearance hasn't changed in fifty years despite the bamboo leaf in her hair, and a young member of the ghost clan who has lost his way after wandering into town...
Little do they know that Wumei, with his striking looks, bizarre behavior, vacant expression, and sudden arrival, is even stranger than the rest. He's an enigma from head to toe.
Beautiful man: "Don't come any closer."
Storyteller: "Who are you?"
Bamboo-leaf girl: "Help me..."
Ghost-clan boy: "You're the one behind this!"
Wumei: ???
Wumei: "I'm just passing through, qvq."
Soon, he realizes this is no ordinary town in the mortal world.
It's a dream.
Wait, isn't it his dream...?
The problem is, it seems he's not the only one dreaming??
Then the girl is swallowed by the dream and loses her soul.
Wumei resolutely sets off to pursue the dream and uncover the truth.
Funi was young the first time he met the Evil God, still "a little bug."
Everyone said the Evil God was wicked, arrogant, and thoroughly evil, a terrible menace who had to die and could never be allowed to live.
But after meeting him, Funi could no longer find peace. He clung to the Evil God's hand and refused to let go.
The Evil God smiled dazzlingly and praised him in front of everyone: "Child of the Earth, you are utterly adorable."
Later, Funi also picked up a newborn bug.
It had no home and was sweet and pitiful, so he raised it by his side, pouring his heart into it for ten thousand years.
The bug grew up and became a butterfly, shining more brightly than ever.
When it took human form, it ran off, and Funi didn't even get a chance to see it.
In human form, the bug was still as arrogant and reckless as ever, quickly making a name for itself across the Three Realms.
That heartless bug forgot him. It told everyone, "Who is Funi? I don't know him."
Funi was furious.
One day, Funi had a dream.
In it, the bug took human form, looking exactly as Funi had longed to see it. He couldn't look away. The bug kissed him.
Funi grumbled indignantly, "You seduced me and then abandoned me."
The heartless little thing wrapped its arms around him and wouldn't let go. "I'm the Lord of the Earth. I can hug you whenever I want and kiss you whenever I want."

Secret identities revealed, amnesia, political intrigue, farming, sweet romance
After suppressing a rebellion, Lian Mo, the Regent of Wei, loses his memory and gets lost. He also forgets who he is, and somehow wanders into a village in the neighboring state of Yongning.
It's a strange village: some people spend all day eating and waiting to die, while others train every day, ready for battle. They clearly aren't ordinary villagers.
Lian Mo, who can only rely on his looks to get by, meets another man who gets by on his looks: a loafer named Li Jiu.
Li Jiu: "In that case, marry me."
Lian Mo: "???"
Li Jiu: "Or would you rather marry Old Man Yu at the head of the village? The blacksmith Wang next door? The carpenter at the end of the village? Zhao Si, keeping watch at the entrance? Or Zhao Wu, on night duty?"
Lian Mo: "Why do I have to marry anyone?"
Li Jiu: "Because you don't have a household registration."
Lian Mo: "Then I might as well marry you."
Li Jiu, satisfied: "Looking at me will make your food taste better."
And so the beautiful Lian Mo marries the loafer Li Jiu.
A year later, Lian Mo returns to the capital of Wei.
It turns out he's not the only one who's gone missing. The new emperor, who was being held hostage in Yongning, has disappeared too.

Is the original owner dead? If you don't complete the task, can you come back and squeeze people away? So does this protagonist compete with the original owner for his body?
After reading the introduction, I feel that the author and I have the same major. It's time to take a look at the ancient tiankeng and find a job again.
I didn't understand the introduction: Is Gong trying his best to spread rumors just to be with Shou? Then why did he introduce someone to Shou after the engagement was broken off? If he didn't want to be with Shou, what was the purpose of spreading rumors?
? Wait, the protagonist only has this level of force, and the system doesn't protect his life. Why should he go over mountains and draw pictures? In ancient times, there were many wild animals in the wilderness, not just bad people, but right? From the previous poisonous snake who was tied up and knocked unconscious, to the current wild wolf, the protagonist has no ability to protect himself. Why is he so confident?
Ah, I've already said it was a baby who kissed me, but I still can't react. Zou and Yin only mentioned that they were related in the family before, and didn't even mention that they were in person. Now they clearly pointed out that they were related to Zou and Xia as children. It's very obvious.
Good guy, you didn't even ask the other person's last name when you got engaged. I laughed so hard. . .
After reading it, the writing is pretty good, better than many highly collected ancient novels by Xiaobai! A small suggestion, it would be nice if the description of time transition in the next book could be clearer!
... So when did the protagonist travel through time? Feeling a bit messy
Interestingly, Zou didn't know that Xia was his fiancé. How could he infer that Zhao knew his identity because he said that Xia was his fiancé? This doesn't make sense
Couldn't the person you met when you were a kid be this one from time travel?
