After the Second-Generation God Failed to Slack Off

Seeking Favorites for Upcoming Novel: "Happiness Overflows After I Married in Someone Else's Place"

He Jiu died on an ordinary night before the college entrance exam.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become Helan Jiu, the most prominent second-generation god in the Heavenly Court.

He thought he'd get to live the high life, eating and drinking well, teasing cats and dogs. Who knew even a second-generation god had to go to high school?

Heavenly Court Academy, I'm going to fight you to the death!

Well, if he had to go to school, so be it. His future was secure anyway. He'd just slack off and do whatever made him happy.

But there were a few rather strange classmates at the academy.

The first was Chao Wendao.

The sword immortal was famous for being "a man with no feelings in his heart, whose sword comes out naturally." Yet his pockets held not sword manuals, but all kinds of delicious snacks.

Whenever He Jiu dozed off while slacking, food would always find its way to him with uncanny precision.

"Class heartthrob," He Jiu couldn't help asking, "did you bring these for me on purpose?"

The sword immortal calmly wiped his blade. "They're leftovers. Wasting food is a sin."

The second was Yi Moji.

A beautiful good-for-nothing of unknown origins, he could even trip into a pond while being chased by a crane. Yet He Jiu clearly saw him raise a hand and snuff out the lightning when the ninth heaven's thunder struck.

"Is pretending to be weak really that fun?" He Jiu asked with a raised brow.

Yi Moji smiled innocently. "Mm. It's especially fun watching you worry about me."

The third was Jinyu.

A crown prince who spent all day loafing around, but kept a secret drawer locked up with a collection of strange books, including The Three Realms' Speedrun Guide to Young Love, The Domineering Immortal Lord Falls for Me, and The Helan Jiu Observation Diary.

"You're a crown prince. Why are you reading this stuff?"

"...Can't someone else have left them at my place?!" the prince snapped, flustered and furious.

He Jiu was certain all three of them had something going on.

Either they had a crush on him, or they were... keeping an eye on him.

Then one day, he discovered a torn-up Book of Fate.

A fragment read: [Helan Jiu, 1,248th transmigration]

The tear marks on the Book of Fate were still fresh.

He Jiu rubbed the page, slammed a hand on the table, and shot to his feet. "Damn it! I suspected ages ago that this wasn't my first transmigration! Who the hell reloaded my save file?!"

This was beyond ridiculous! How many times had he been made to go to school?!

Reader's Guide:

1. There is no repeated transmigration in the main story. This is his final transmigration.

2. The world is probably based on old-school xuanhuan fantasy, but the protagonist throws around modern expressions. This is my own freewheeling take on xianxia.

3. I want to write an ensemble story about youthful ambition and overcoming all odds. I'm not sure how it'll turn out, but I want to write it so badly that I'll just get to work.

4. A pampered shou who grows over time. The pacing may be a little slow, and there will be some angst, so proceed with caution.

5. This is a self-indulgent story, but if any of you lovely readers enjoy it, I'll be [so] happy. Sending love!

6. Mm, that's all for the reader's guide for now. Hope you enjoy the story! ^3^

Upcoming Novel: "Happiness Overflows After I Married in Someone Else's Place"

After Lu Xiaosen worked himself to death, he transmigrated into a book as an adopted son of a wealthy family.

Good news: He got a second chance at life!

Bad news: From the start, he had to take his younger brother's place in an arranged marriage to a brutish pauper from the countryside. In the future, he'd stir up trouble and get beaten by his husband, be abandoned by the wealthy family, then seek revenge and be drowned by the protagonist.

Lu Xiaosen: "..."

He had no interest in becoming part of the original story's ridiculous plot and playing the lead!

Whatever. Home was home, and after working like a wage slave for so long, he was ready to find somewhere scenic and lie flat for a while.

But there was the matter of this unexpected husband...

Sitting on the wedding bed, Lu Xiaosen fell into thought. "Actually, I'm impotent. I have problems in that department. Can we sleep in separate rooms?"

Cheng Yiming: "...Sure."

After they married, Lu Xiaosen gradually realized that something about this life seemed increasingly off.

Lu Xiaosen couldn't cook, so Cheng Yiming made all three meals every day before heading to work at the factory.

Lu Xiaosen liked wandering around, so Cheng Yiming saved up his wages to buy him a bicycle.

Lu Xiaosen kicked off his blankets in his sleep, so Cheng Yiming came over in the middle of the night to tuck him in before going back to bed.

Lu Xiaosen: What? The original book never said I'd be this happy after marrying in someone else's place!

Later, Cheng Yiming rose from the countryside to the town, then the county, the provincial capital, and finally the national capital. The poor country boy everyone used to talk about became President Cheng.

President Cheng was good in every way. His superiors valued him, his subordinates respected him, and there was only one thing everyone at the company knew: he was afraid of his wife and listened to him about everything.

Lu Xiaosen was furious. "What nonsense! That's a rumor! He never listens when I tell him to stop!"

Theme: There is only one kind of heroism: to see life as it is, and still love it.
