Synopsis
Qi Lang couldn’t stand his no-good cousin Ji Huai. He was smart, quiet, and Qi Lang’s mother was always comparing the two of them.
Who could have guessed that after a car accident, the whole family would transmigrate to the Great Sheng dynasty, penniless and barely able to scrape together their next meal? The two were forced to grow closer and closer.
Looking at their drafty thatched hut and nearly empty rice jar, Qi Lang rolled up his sleeves. What was so hard about starting over?
So he and his family worked their tails off to make money, starting with pickled radishes and eventually moving on to crisp-fried grass carp. They turned their little household, once on the brink of ruin, into a thriving one.
Meanwhile, Ji Huai, normally as quiet as a gourd with its mouth sealed shut, studied by lamplight in silence. He climbed from licentiate to jinshi, becoming the strongest support for Qi Lang’s money-making schemes.
Qi Lang never thought he’d have a heart-to-heart with Ji Huai under the moonlight, much less that his heart would race and his face grow warm over that bookworm.
He thought that once Ji Huai was posted to an official position elsewhere, they could settle down and live a quiet life of their own. But waiting for them were troublesome commoners, powerful local families, and bandits even more fearsome than the local authorities.
One insisted on ruling with an iron fist, while the other advocated a gentler approach. The day their argument turned into a cold war, Qi Lang received word that Ji Huai had been struck by a hidden arrow while on an inspection tour.
Looking at the bookworm lying pale in bed, Qi Lang’s eyes reddened for the first time.
Fine, he’d stop arguing. As long as Ji Huai was all right, he could do whatever he wanted.
This is the story of a sharp-tongued but soft-hearted underachiever and a quiet, protective top student, who go from loathing the sight of each other to being unable to live apart.
One makes money, the other makes trouble, and together they turn a terrible hand in a strange world into a happy, thriving life for two.
[Reader’s Guide]
1. The top and bottom are not blood relatives. The bottom’s mother remarried and married the top’s second uncle, making them cousins in name only. This is an ordinary setting, with no childbearing.
2. The story focuses on cozy everyday life, personal growth, and hard work. There are no awful relatives, and this isn’t a face-slapping power fantasy. The bottom has a System, but the leads rely mainly on their own efforts to make money and advance in office.
3. As for the point of view, the early rags-to-riches section is mainly told from the top’s perspective. Later, after the bottom passes the imperial examinations and enters government service, the story shifts mainly to his perspective.
4. They’re each other’s first love, and they complement each other. The top is shrewd with others but indulgent and protective of the bottom. The bottom seems well-behaved but is stubborn inside. Their feelings for each other are as solid as rebar.
5. This is a fictional setting. Their everyday life is all about figuring out food businesses, tinkering with farming, and building up their household. As for taking the imperial exams and becoming an official, well, that’s a sweet burden that gives our bottom plenty of headaches, though the top will be there with him~
6. The whole family helps the couple get together. There are no melodramatic misunderstandings, just the warmth of growing together.
Upcoming Novel Synopsis
Cheng Yu gets bound to an absurd System. His mission is to lock the original novel’s main couple together and prevent the world from collapsing. As a nobody with barely any fame, he’s far below the main character bottom in status, so he can only team up with the original top’s younger brother, who wants to escape the endless cycle of world resets.
Zhuang Shiyi is a devoted believer in pheromones. Only Omegas with a high compatibility rating catch his eye. Unfortunately, the celebrity Omega he pursued used him to gain resources and boost his career, then turned around and said goodbye.
So Zhuang Shiyi, having become the sucker in the situation, immediately showered Cheng Yu with resources, hoping to make him famous and use him to put that celebrity Omega in his place.
And just like that, a no-name gets a total career glow-up!
Cheng Yu, the one who comes out ahead: “Wow, it’s true what they say about money falling from the sky! Time to make bank!!!”
Cheng Yu’s sudden rise in resources leads netizens to dig up his rumored relationship with Zhuang Shiyi, as well as the story of how he confessed to Zhuang Shiyi at their high school sports meet and got rejected.
Netizens: Huh, so are they a rich sponsor and his kept boy, or a couple whose mutual crush finally came true?
Zhuang Shiyi, who has no memory of the confession, stares at the trending topic in shock. “He’s had a crush on me for ten years and still said he only likes female Betas?”
He rushes to Cheng Yu’s home in the middle of the night to warn him. “I’m only going to marry an Omega. You’re a Beta, so don’t get any funny ideas about me.”
Cheng Yu shrugs. “That confession was just a punishment for losing a game. Everyone knows you’re an Alpha supremacist. I know my place.”
Later, during his heat, Zhuang Shiyi clutches a suppressor and burrows into Cheng Yu’s arms. Cheng Yu looks at his hapless sugar daddy and cries out in anguish. “What happened to only loving Omegas!”
Zhuang Shiyi bites the hem of his shirt and declares, “Everyone thinks we’re a couple. Nobody else will have me, so you have to take responsibility!”
The entire internet is wondering whether Cheng Yu will marry into a wealthy family in the end. Meanwhile, the System is tearing its hair out. “This is so annoying! Can you two clueless romantics just do the mission already? The main character bottom is practically flirting with the main character top, and you’re still here playing games!”
Theme: When a family stands together, adversity becomes a chance to begin anew.
It looks great, I hope I can update it every day when I have time.
No? Is this one hundred yuan enough to buy a shop? Still want to rent? The prices didn't look that high in the past.
Congratulations on the belated completion🎉, the last chapter made me cry when I read the farewell。°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°。It's really not easy to live in a different world for more than ten years. Everyone has been working hard and it's been great [Come on] Qi Lang Ji Huai 99
Thank you to the author for your hard work! It's not just barrage in the system. It relies on ancient times to accumulate enough public opinion points, but it is broadcast to other worlds in a live broadcast. No wonder Qi Lang is so angry [Glasses]
[Glasses][Glasses][Glasses] The big list is so detailed.
They are going home soon, will they write about their days back in modern life [Star Eyes]
[Spreading hands] I feel that no matter what era, some people will always be sacrificed to accomplish so-called great things, not to mention that in feudal society, there is no human rights.
I remember there was a prince, why did the third prince dance like that [glasses]
[Glasses] Indeed, eating spicy hot pot is so spicy that your lips are so hot, and drinking hot soup is simply torture.
Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you for your hard work~
