The Lazy Shadow Guard's Cultivation Training Plan

Blurb One:

Wang Qi, a modern-day loser, was fed up with his life as a wage slave and made a wish to heaven.

Then, in a daze, he became a little beggar.

Being turned into a little beggar was bad enough, but he was also kidnapped by a child trafficker and captured by people with ulterior motives.

He never managed to live like a protagonist, but his life was every bit as exciting as one.

By a series of bizarre coincidences, he became a Xue family shadow guard.

No health insurance, no social security, and always dancing on the edge of a blade.

His mental state collapsed in an instant. Heaven, why did making a wish leave his life even worse than it had been in my last life?

There was nothing he could do. Being a shadow guard was a compulsory job.

So he'd have to be careful, avoid every death flag, and play it safe until the very end.

He had finally outlasted the noble family that controlled him, only to inherit a hot potato.

Wang Qi, forced to flee for his life: *sob*

Xue Jinglan: Got a problem with that?

Wait, wasn't this supposed to be a wuxia world? Why is everyone cultivating immortality now?

Looking down at the suspiciously protagonist-like hot potato: My good life from here on out is all up to you, bro.

Hot potato Xue Jinglan: You won't regret raising me.

But the Heavenly Dao doesn't seem willing to claim this protagonist.

Who cares? I say you're the protagonist, so you're the protagonist. Who says you need a license to be one these days?

Blurb Two:

Wang Qi transmigrates to another world and gets dragged off to work as a shadow guard. Not only is he suddenly undocumented, but he has to live through one dangerous ordeal after another. After watching his colleagues fall one by one, he finally rises up in revolt. But after taking down his boss, he inherits a little dumpling and has to start raising it.

While ordering food at an inn, Xue Jinglan says, "I'll have gourd duck, eight-treasure chicken, braised pork knuckle..."

Wang Qi slaps his money pouch down on the counter. "Four steamed buns!"

Xue Jinglan: "..."

When getting a room, Xue Jinglan says, "Boss, two first-class rooms!"

Wang Qi: "I think the stable would be nice. It's economical and practical."

Xue Jinglan: "A-Qi, I'm telling you, keep this up and you'll lose me!"

One day, they're hunted down and, in their panic, stumble into the world of cultivation.

Wang Qi sizes up Xue Jinglan. He's carrying a priceless treasure, his whole family was wiped out, and he's stumbled upon a chance encounter. Could this kid be the protagonist?

Xue Jinglan: Why is he staring at me?

The test reveals that he has a useless five-element spirit root and abysmal aptitude.

Wait, he still has his family heirloom!

Then they pass a street stall and see N copies of the same family heirloom, plus a limited-edition youth-plus version.

I don't believe it. This book has to be about a loser turning his life around. It has to be!

Wang Qi grabs Xue Jinglan and dives headfirst into a secret realm.

They don't find a thing, and they nearly fail to make it back.

After surviving the ordeal, Wang Qi pats Xue Jinglan's head. "Doggo, it's fine to be ordinary."

I drew the cover myself. It might be a little ugly, and my friends have already roasted me for it.

I'm stubbornly refusing to change. I'm bad at this, but confident anyway.

I've already got N ideas for novels in my head, but I won't write a single word of them until I finish this one, so feel free to jump in.

Please add it to your favorites, leave a comment, follow, and show your support. All of you wonderful readers surely can't leave me to write this all alone, right? Right?!

There may be some angst along the way, but the ending will definitely be happy. I'm a good person.
