Can You Really Become Emperor by Slacking Off Like This?

[The blurb for my upcoming novel, The Tycoon System, But I Sell Malatang, is below. Please add it to your favorites!] Blurb: When the game Chasing the Deer Under Heaven opened for beta testing, Xu Mao eagerly signed up. She promptly lost ten games in a row, and, thoroughly crushed, decided to quit. But she accidentally clicked the wrong button and started another round. Once the game begins, you can't quit. Xu Mao had no choice but to keep playing. Xu Mao firmly believed that with her extensive experience in failure, she would soon find a way to log out of the game world. Natural disasters raged, yet the court continued raising taxes, and starving corpses littered the land. Xu Mao broke into a government granary and opened it to distribute food. She was sentenced to immediate execution. On the day of her execution, with the wind howling and the Yi River cold, the supervising official asked if she had any last words. Xu Mao answered resolutely, "Xu Mao has no regrets!" Then...the people came to storm the execution ground! One plan failed, so Xu Mao came up with another. She gathered the people and publicly declared, "Are lords and generals born to their stations?" Then she waited for the constables to come arrest her. To her surprise, the crowd roared in response. The people of Huai County stormed the government offices and brought the magistrate's head before Xu Mao. Shocked, Xu Mao racked her brains and immediately wrote to the emperor, demanding a noble title, or she would march on the imperial capital. As rebellions across the land spiraled out of control and the army defected, chaos erupted in Chang'an. The emperor, fleeing south in terror, resorted to appeasement and, with a stroke of his imperial brush, made Xu Mao a king. Xu Mao: "..." I was just saying that offhand. As time passed, the more Xu Mao slacked off, the more people came to join her. Some were even distinguished ministers she had once desperately tried to recruit, without success. Xu Mao fought back her heartbreak, turned them all down, and pointed them toward their original factions. Xu Mao: "Go find Sun Bao'an. Your talents will never go to waste there." The adviser who was supposed to serve Sun Bao'an: "Understood!" Before long, infighting broke out in Sun Bao'an's faction, leaving countless dead and wounded. The adviser, having successfully sown discord, returned to Xu Mao with his troops. Xu Mao screamed in despair: "When will this miserable life finally end?!" Those nearby recorded: The deed was done, yet the emperor was displeased, and, pitying the people, cried out in sorrow. How could the turmoil of this age ever end? [Reader's Guide] 1. Sign-in and System, with an overpowered golden finger. A pure wish-fulfillment, brainless story for beginners, set in a fictional dynasty with plenty of original worldbuilding. All place and country names are made up at random. There is no deeper meaning or real-world allegory; it's just for fun, so please don't read too much into it. 2. The story is set in a game world, with many virtual elements. At first, the heroine sees the people around her as NPCs. Readers with a strong sense of morality may want to skip this one. [Content warning: There are many female characters, male characters in the heroine's faction are given less focus, and most of the villains are men. If that's not your thing, please stop reading!] Blurb for The Tycoon System, But I Sell Malatang: Xu Jian is about to graduate, but still hasn't found a job. She unexpectedly binds to a tycoon System. Before she can even celebrate, though, a slip of the finger makes her choose malatang as her field of business. She stares at the tasks in silence. How could a little malatang shop possibly use up that much money? If she doesn't spend it all, she'll end up buried in debt! After working hard for ages, Xu Jian finally figures out how to spend the money. She rents out apartments, letting tenants use points earned by spending at her malatang shop to offset their rent. The apartments become wildly popular, and everyone rushes to move in. She shoots advertisements to promote her malatang brand. Unexpectedly, all the actresses and music producers involved in the ads quickly become famous, and fans beg Xu Jian to expand into entertainment and make her mark in show business.

Looking at her pile of awards from outside the food industry, Xu Jian is a little bewildered. "I thought I sold malatang..." Theme: As long as life goes on, keep striving
