Xu Nianzhi blacked out while working overtime and woke up in a high-tech interstellar era. To survive, he found a job on a farm.
The AI handled all the exhausting farm work, from raising pigs to herding cattle. No 996 work schedule. Every overworked wage slave would kneel in gratitude! Thank you, great technology!
Free from the rat race, Xu Nianzhi spent every day lying on a hillside with a blade of grass in his mouth, enjoying the breeze and watching the clouds. He was delighted. He could do this job until he was a hundred!
One day, a huge hunk of metal fell from the sky, and a gang of pirates charged at him with weapons. They weren't just going to butcher his cattle, they were going to butcher him too!
Xu Nianzhi: "Aaaah! What a waste! You barbarians! That's not how you eat beef!"
"Shit, shit, shit! Don't kill me! I'm just a cowherd!"
Unfortunately, the pirates couldn't understand him. They raised their weapons and aimed at him.
As Xu Nianzhi wailed and shouted curses, a refined, dashing man stepped out of the ship's cabin. He looked at Xu Nianzhi and asked slowly, "The moonlight before my bed?"
Xu Nianzhi, on reflex and without missing a beat: "Looks like frost upon the ground. I raise my head and gaze at the moon, then lower it and think of home!"
When two compatriots met, tears welled in their eyes.
Quick to read the situation, Xu Nianzhi clung to Jun Yu's leg and cried, "My dear countryman! My good sir, please save me!"
Jun Yu: "..."
He hadn't expected to find another Huaxia person from Blue Star!
Jun Yu rescued him. Xu Nianzhi used the few ingredients he had to make him a meal. Looking at his countryman's strong, sturdy build, Xu Nianzhi wanted someone to lean on, so he tried to persuade him: "Being a pirate means fighting and killing all the time. It's dangerous. With my cooking, why don't you stay here with me?"
The young man had regained the clear, pure eyes he had as a college student, with just a hint of foolishness in them. Paired with his exceptionally pretty face, he was exactly Jun Yu's type. Lowering his eyes, Jun Yu replied calmly, "No. I still have things to do."
Xu Nianzhi asked sweetly, "What else do you have to do?"
Jun Yu: "Conquer the stars and the sea, and find my treasure."
Xu Nianzhi, who only wanted to herd cattle: "...Impressive!"
Later, Xu Nianzhi watched Jun Yu work himself to the bone, rising step by step from pirate to military academy student to marshal...
Xu Nianzhi: He's practically Superman!
From then on, Xu Nianzhi enjoyed the benefits too, eating well and living in luxury wherever he went.
Until one day, the man approached him holding roses, knelt on one knee, and placed a crown on his head himself.
In that moment, Xu Nianzhi felt his long-dormant heart stir.

Jun Yu was a dragon who lived in the human world. He was born at the height of Huaxia's most competitive era, and whether it was studying or his career, he habitually pushed himself to the limit.
On the day he came of age, his parents told him that every dragon had a mission: he had to find his treasure.
Not long afterward, he found his treasure in another world.
To protect it, he built an empire that would endure forever.
In his autobiography, this decisive and ruthless emperor wrote:
"He is the last human in the universe."
"When I first met him, he was herding cattle. He had a small frame, fair skin, and beautiful, dewy eyes. He looked like a little ball of milk."
"He likes farming and cooking, and he has no ability to defend himself. Even though he is a precious ancient human, people with ill intentions are always coveting him. He can only be a low-ranking citizen."
"Whenever he shares his kindness and affection with me, his eyes sparkling, I think..."
"I will build him a new world."
"He is my only treasure."
