A Farming Life After Getting Pulled Into a Game

The blurb for the upcoming novel "The Qilin's Guide" is below.

Note: 1v1, a talkative, neurotic shou x a taciturn, secretly flirtatious gong

(Logistics, farming, deliveries, takeout, and sweet little moments. A lighthearted slice-of-life story.)

Song Liu used to be a carefree rich kid who traveled the world studying food. But during a game test, he unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of a poor cannon-fodder NPC from a family with little to its name.

Freshly transmigrated, Song Liu squandered all the family's grain stores because he couldn't resist eating. Their already straitened circumstances got even worse. He had a single mother to support, as well as two little brothers and a youngest sister who were still crying to be fed.

Song Liu's conscience troubled him, so he decided to make sure his family had enough to eat.

By chance, he unlocked the game's exchange shop and a portable storage space, then took over the family's struggling restaurant. His cooking was peerless, and the seasonings from his space gave his dishes an extra boost.

At last, Song Liu managed to breathe new life into the little shop.

Its fragrance wafted for miles along the mountain road, drawing a wealthy young master who had heard of the place: "Be my family's head chef, and I'll pay you five taels of silver a month!"

Yeah, right. Work for someone else? Not in this lifetime.

Song Liu gave him a professional smile. "Hello! Our little shop offers delivery."

As soon as delivery service launched, the little shop's revenue doubled. A new milestone in the exchange shop unlocked, rewarding him with a huge storage warehouse.

A new road to wealth: collect a certain number of shops to unlock milestones and gain access to the hidden storage space inside each one.

Song Liu: Isn't this just a delivery pickup station?

Running a restaurant while juggling takeout and courier deliveries, his business flourished. The logistics guild rose smoothly through the ranks, eventually earning an imperial appointment as the first merchant house of the realm.

He could have settled down and enjoyed a life of indulgence. But Song Liu chose to return to the countryside and lead a peaceful life farming and raising chickens with his family.

The little shop was in a remote spot, and Song Liu was always afraid of running into bad people when he worked late. And then one day, a man in black, radiating bloodshed and violence, walked into the shop.

Song Liu's heart pounded. It definitely wasn't because the man was strikingly handsome, but because of the dagger at his waist.

The man seemed to have no money, but Song Liu didn't dare do anything about it. Better to let him eat for free than end up feeding his blade!

Who would have thought the man would say darkly, "I'll work for you to pay off the debt."

Song Liu: Huh???

Song Liu didn't have a good impression of Gu Lanyang. He'd kindly taken in this man of unknown origins, but who knew he would be so taciturn that you couldn't get a word out of him, and so often wear a face like someone owed him millions?

Song Liu: Always acting like he owns the place. What a smug jerk with a permanent scowl.

But this smug jerk had superb martial arts and light-footed agility, making him perfect for delivering takeout and parcels!

Song Liu: I've suddenly realized this little mute is actually pretty useful...

Gu Lanyang's inner mutterings:

"Song Liu talks so much. He's always chattering away. He's full of energy, too, always bouncing around near me. Song Liu is cute."

"Song Liu keeps nodding off lately, and he even drools. Song Liu is cute."

"Why does Song Liu always call me a little mute? I'm not mute. Never mind... Song Liu is cute."

Upcoming supernatural ensemble novel "The Qilin's Guide":

Delicate, teary, albino, sickly gong x an ancient immortal, gentle and virtuous shou.

Silly, sweet, impulsive gong x gentle, patient, steady shou.

To repay a debt of gratitude, the Qilin hid the prematurely deceased youngest son of the Yu family inside its inner core, carrying him in its mouth until his soul had healed.

Once the boy was fully healed and safely delivered, the Qilin had succeeded in bringing him into the world.

When the boy grew up, the consequences of defying fate finally arrived.

Why did Yu Zhenshan have such wicked designs on him, staring right at his backside?

Only after the other man had thoroughly devoured him

did he understand what people meant by "repaying kindness with betrayal."

Yu Zhenshan: "I like you. So what if I like you? I have a human heart, and you've bewitched me. Am I not allowed to like you?"

Qilin: "What kind of nonsense is that? The Yu family didn't raise you right!"

Yu Zhenshan: "Why don't you say that when you held me in your mouth, you failed to raise me properly?"

Impossible.

I raised you plump, fair, and beautiful. (Fuming.)

Yu Zhenshan was the Yu family's precious only son.

The Yu family's three branches had no heirs: one branch was all men in love with men, and another was full of career fanatics.

Only his mother was left to suffer, enduring several miscarriages in a row without success.

Just as the family line was about to die out, Yu Zhenshan was born, crying loudly, though he was very frail.

Cherished and doted on, the precious darling of the capital's great families grew up under a thousand loving gazes.

The Yu family: As long as our little ancestor lives a healthy life to 99, he can do anything, even something outrageous enough to earn a thunderbolt from heaven. We don't care.

Yu Zhenshan: Eat, drink, have fun, and sleep with the ancestor.

Rebellion! Sacrilege! How could this be anything but an outrage worthy of a thunderbolt from heaven?

The entire Yu family would be too ashamed to face their ancestors! We might as well all hang ourselves right now!

To make the darling give up, the Qilin faked his death and slipped away.

But the darling wouldn't give up. He came out right in the ancestral hall:

Darling: "I'm gay."

The Yu family: "That's fine~ Which young master do you like?"

Darling: "He's older than me."

The Yu family: "That's fine~ Older men know how to treat you well."

Darling: "By tens of thousands of years."

The Yu family: ?

Darling: "That's enough. I'm going to burn incense for my husband."

The Yu family watched their precious darling bow again and again to the statue of their old ancestor...

The Yu family: Dead.

Qilin: Alive.

As an immortal ancestor enshrined by the Yu family for a hundred years, Xie Xingzhi was troubled and torn up because he had failed to guide the young master onto the right path.

Though his love was deep, he was always burdened by guilt.

So that day, he lay facedown on the bed.

Hesitating and stumbling over his words, he said, "Y-You can go ahead."

"My precious darling, raised among gold and jade..."

How could he be so fierce? Had he really poured all the strength of his life into this? Orz!!!

"Within a speck of dust are three thousand worlds; within half a moment, eighty thousand reflections."
