After Returning to the Countryside, He Came to His Senses

[Come relax here when the story next door gets too exhausting]

Blurb One:

When they first met, Jiang Jing realized that the guy in front of him wasn't on the same wavelength.

Jiang Jing wore cotton slippers because he was cold, while Zheng Yushi walked around barefoot.

Jiang Jing was so hot from soaking his feet that he flopped around like a fish on a cutting board. Zheng Yushi calmly adjusted his glasses and scrolled through short videos on Douyin.

Zheng Yushi could feed chickens in a suit, go to the market in dress shoes, and haul rice on his cool motorbike...

Jiang Jing: What a legend...

Zheng Yushi: Hehe.

Jiang Jing: Bro! Hey, bro! Watch where you're going!

Zheng Yushi, the rice, and the bike all crashed into the two mu of land his grandfather had left him.

Great. Two thousand seven hundred yuan in repairs.

Zheng Yushi: No more hehe.

Jiang Jing had wanted to leave the noisy city and relax in the countryside while seeking inspiration for his work. He never expected things to go disastrously from the start, plunging him into a world of chickens running wild and dogs barking.

Zheng Yushi said he was honored to play a major role in Jiang Jing's life.

Jiang Jing: Thanks a lot.

Who knew Zheng Yushi's smile could be so sincere and bright, even more dazzling than when they'd first met?

He said, "You're welcome, Jiang Jing."

Blurb Two:

The city is full of schemes. I'm going back to the countryside...

Your pal's in a foul mood, so he's thinking of heading to the countryside to clear his head.

But since your pal isn't a born-and-raised southerner, he might have a bit of trouble adjusting to the climate...

Your pal hasn't had a single day of feeling well in these deep mountains, but he's no delicate young master!

It's just the southern climate! When has this northern tough guy ever been afraid of... Ah, ah, ah-choo!

"Don't push yourself if you can't manage."

"I, I'm not!"

Why are your pal's allergy symptoms getting worse again?? Wait, that redness is all over your face. That's not good...

"Still not used to the climate?" Zheng Yushi flicked Jiang Jing on the nose and felt his forehead.

Jiang Jing looked up at Zheng Yushi, bathed in sunlight, and suddenly felt that the early spring weather was warm and comfortable.

"Thump!"

"Jiang Jing!" Zheng Yushi's voice rang in his ears, growing fainter. Jiang Jing couldn't make out what he was saying.

Well, your pal got heatstroke in the deep mountains in April.

An all-around, warm-hearted gong with land at home but dreams of becoming a small-business entrepreneur (Zheng Yushi) x an unemployed illustrator with a wealthy family who doesn't want to spend their money (Jiang Jing)

Notes:

1. Shou POV, partly dual POV, 1v1. The gong is ten months younger than the shou. (The story begins when the gong is 22 and the shou is 23.)

2. The early chapters have a bit of a rustic feel. Later, when they return to city life, there's a little struggle and striving. If you love him, stick by him and work hard together!

3. A side project, updated whenever.

4. The blurb got so lively that for a while I thought I was writing a lighthearted romance, hahaha.

5. More to come.

A historical danmei narcissistic romance currently being serialized. Please support it!

"Cultivating the Heavenly Dao"

Bian Yuxun has transmigrated into a book, a silly little story he wrote to pass the time.

He has complicated feelings for the protagonist. He wants to be the protagonist's... daddy.

So the devoted old dad starts collecting treasures from across the land to shower on his dear son.

A spirit pill, tossed to the protagonist, gets smashed by Bu Chengchen. A secret manual, tossed to the protagonist, gets burned by Bu Chengchen. Fine food, tossed to the protagonist, gets eaten by Bu Chengchen.

Bian Yuxun: I created you, so behave.

Bu Chengchen: I destroyed you, so watch yourself.

The protagonist: ...

Bian Yuxun: ...

Where exactly did this Bu Chengchen come from? Why does he oppose him at every turn! Bian Yuxun swears he absolutely never wrote a character like this. Absolutely!

*

Case solved: it turns out Bu Chengchen is his future self. After learning the truth, Bian Yuxun is a little dazed, because without realizing it, his heart has started beating out of control.

What should he do...

Bian Yuxun: Calling on the cultivation sects for help. What do I do if I look in the mirror and realize I've fallen for my own face?

The sects: ...

Bu Chengchen: Give it a try.

After the try (tryst)...

Bian Yuxun: (in tears) If I just chop off my own junk, will I stop having to suffer like this?

Bian Yuxun: (sighing) For the first time in my life, I regret being so virile.

*

The Land of Primordial Unity is where humans, demons, and fiends coexist. At its center stands a spirit peak shrouded in immortal mist, much like the home they once shared. As dawn breaks, Bian Yuxun stares dreamily at the clouds.

Bu Chengchen: I'm curious. Among all the living beings you love, has anyone ever loved you?

Bian Yuxun: I'm curious too. If you don't love all living beings, who else can you love?

They fall silent. It seems the only answer is the person standing before them.

The Great Way has no form. It turns out all the answers lie within "me."

Cultivating immortality is about meeting yourself.

At that moment, Bian Yuxun and Bu Chengchen, who had been thwarted by the old Heavenly Dao and unable to ascend, suddenly attained enlightenment and ascended.

[The gong, Bu Chengchen, is determined to destroy the Heavenly Dao and its chosen son x The shou, Bian Yuxun, believes he is the Heavenly Dao and works hard to raise its chosen son]

Theme: Make the most of every day!
