[I Am Independent] Xiao Cheng, You Were Born to Mine

A Solo Leveling fanfic, following the manga. Original top x Xiao Cheng.

Blurb:

Yue Guang: "Some people are born into Rome, while others are born to be pack animals. Xiao Cheng, would you rather live in Rome or become a pack animal?"

Xiao Cheng: "..."

Yue Guang: "Why'd you stop talking? Are you sad? It's okay. Whether you're a pack animal or not, I'm definitely in Rome. I can look after you!"

Xiao Cheng: "..."

In an A-rank dungeon, everyone exclaimed, "Whoa, is he really E-rank? Look at him go, he's amazing at mining. Foreman, what's going on?"

A certain foreman was silent for a moment. "Doesn't this just prove I have a good eye?"

"He's practically... born to be a miner! I chose the right person."

Yue Guang: "Hey, Mr. Miner!"

Xiao Cheng: ???

In his previous life, Yue Guang had been the Divine Court's holy son. He never imagined that after being reborn, the pitiful little guy he wanted to protect would suddenly turn into a towering tree.

Yue Guang slowly sat down and curled into a ball in the corner.

His face was full of despair.

Who did this? Who on earth swapped Xiao Cheng out for this Shadow Monarch who looked like he had absurdly high damage output?

Boss, this isn't how the plot is supposed to go! Wasn't I, the "transmigrator," supposed to show off and carry Xiao Cheng?

That's how it always goes in novels!

P.S.:

1. This story breaks up the original pairing. Xiao Cheng belongs to little Yue Guang now!

2. Pure sweet romance. The author is desperately trying to make up for a sugar deficiency.

3. I'll add more if I think of anything.

Theme: If you set your mind to working hard, you can become the person you aspire to be.
