Xie Yan, a wilderness survival blogger with tens of millions of followers, was bitten by a many-banded krait and died during a survival trip.
As he lay dying, he thought, What a damn shame. I lived a whole lifetime without ever being in a relationship, and now I'm dead.
The next moment, a mechanical voice rang in his mind. "Ding! Welcome to the Hard Work Pays Off System. Transmigrate and receive a stunning beauty as a bonus."
Xie Yan nodded furiously.
And then...
Xie Yan stared at the sickly, pitch-black "bamboo pole" in front of him, unable to believe his eyes. "How is this supposed to be a stunning beauty?"
The System replied, "You have to raise your beauty yourself, and reclaim the barren hills yourself. Hard work pays off!"
That's right. Transmigrating had not only given him a beauty, but also several barren hills.
Wilderness survival was his old line of work, but simply filling his stomach wasn't enough.
He reclaimed the land, planted fruit trees, raised aquatic animals, and opened a farm stay...
The barren hills turned into money trees, and he really did raise his "bamboo pole" into a stunning beauty. Even while pregnant, the beauty followed Xie Yan everywhere, running up and down with him.
"Hey, you little ancestor, settle down."
P.S. This is very, very much an everyday-life story.
...Here's a recommendation for my other ongoing novel, Raising a Baby with the World-Destroying Demon...
Dark Night is a cultivation progression power fantasy. It was smooth sailing all the way until the ending took a sudden turn: a demon lord appeared and destroyed the world with a snap of his fingers.
Gu Shi transmigrates into the book as a cannon-fodder character from a prominent family, but he has no spiritual root and can't cultivate. 😭
To stay alive, he tries all sorts of things, but none of them seems reliable.
Then, when the secret realm of Xizhou opens, Gu Shi accidentally falls into a cave.
Inside is a white-haired beauty, flushed and panting, apparently drugged with some infamous aphrodisiac.
Gu Shi is just about to run when a tremendous force yanks him over. The white-haired beauty grips his throat, eyes crimson, and parts his thin lips.
"Not bad-looking."
Gu Shi: 😳
After being forced into a night of passion, Gu Shi ignores his aching back and flees while the white-haired beauty is unconscious.
Back at his sect, Gu Shi is astonished to discover that a spiritual root has appeared in his previously barren spiritual field.
Gu Shi: 🤔 Damn, could that beauty be some peerless powerhouse?
To eliminate any potential trouble, Gu Shi deliberately waits until the Xizhou secret realm closes before returning to Xizhou. He sincerely apologizes to the empty air.
Just as he is about to leave, a tremendous force grabs him. When he opens his eyes again, he sees the familiar cave, the familiar white-haired beauty, and the familiar panting.
Gu Shi: 😨😨
Forced into another night of passion, Gu Shi doesn't dare run away, wary of the other's power. He obediently waits for the white-haired beauty to wake up.
The white-haired beauty opens his eyes, golden light swirling in them. He clearly isn't someone to mess with.
Gu Shi stands properly and says, "Senior."
The white-haired beauty raises an eyebrow. "You're rather polite now."
Gu Shi feels a little embarrassed. He'd been single for decades, and after suddenly getting a taste of sex, he'd lost his head a little.
"I have received a great opportunity from you, Senior. I should have stayed to serve at your side, but there is something I must do. Once it's settled, I'll return and apologize to you."
The white-haired beauty asks casually, "What is it?"
Gu Shi doesn't hide it. After all, the world-destroying demon lord deserves to be killed by everyone.
"Kill Xuan You."
The white-haired beauty pauses, his gaze turning more inquisitive. "Do you have a grudge against him?"
Gu Shi says, "Xuan You is cruel by nature and never lets a slight go unanswered. If he isn't killed, he'll destroy the world one day."
The white-haired beauty raises an eyebrow and gives a soft snort. "Do as you like. You only need to come here once every three months."
Gu Shi didn't expect him to be so easygoing. He happily replies, "Thank you, Senior."

Later, after reaching the pinnacle of the Golden Body realm, Gu Shi makes his way unhindered to Xuan You's lair.
Seeing the familiar cave and the familiar figure on the bed, Gu Shi freezes on the spot. 😟
"W-wifey?"
Xuan You strokes his slightly rounded belly, turns around to stare at him, and raises an eyebrow. "Not calling me the world-destroying demon lord anymore?"
Gu Shi: 😱😱😱
A lighthearted, sweet story with pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing.
----Here's a recommendation for my upcoming novel, Back to the Tyrant's Youth----
Regent Lin Qi died, but he never expected the person who came to the mass grave to collect his body would be the tyrant he'd battled all his life.
By then, the tyrant had lost his throne and was dressed all in white, nearly blending into the snowy landscape.
Coughing, he bent down and lifted Lin Qi's corpse from the wilderness. The moment he stood, the crossbowmen lying in wait riddled him with bolts.
The tyrant collapsed limply, falling against Lin Qi's stiff arms.
Bright red blood fell on Lin Qi's face. He had been dead for some time, yet now he felt a grief that tore his heart apart.
Idiot.
*
When Lin Qi opens his eyes again, he has returned to the day he was selected to serve as the crown prince's study companion.
Everyone knows that Crown Prince Qi Wenyan is delicate and reserved, keeps people at a distance, and wears a cold expression year-round. He never takes the initiative to befriend anyone, making him the complete opposite of Lin Qi, who gets along with everyone.
At last month's cuju tournament, Lin Qi won first place. The emperor himself decreed that Lin Qi and Qi Wenyan sit together at the post-match banquet. For two whole hours, Lin Qi spoke to him while Qi Wenyan did nothing but nod, without saying a single word. He was so boring that Lin Qi nearly fell asleep.
So when Lin Qi learned he'd been selected as the crown prince's study companion, he flat-out defied the imperial decree. His father had to beat him twenty times before carrying him to the Eastern Palace.
But this time, Lin Qi accepts the decree and rushes to the Eastern Palace without even packing his things.
Qi Wenyan is sitting by the window reading. He looks up when he hears footsteps but says nothing, just as taciturn as ever. But Lin Qi battled him for a lifetime in his previous life, so he can tell that Qi Wenyan is happy.
He was even deliberately waiting here, right across from the entrance, where he could see anyone who came in at a glance.
A huge smile spreads across Lin Qi's face. "Were you waiting for me, Your Highness?"
Qi Wenyan instinctively denies it. "No."
Lin Qi pretends to sound aggrieved. "So you weren't waiting for me, after all. I thought you might want me to come, so I rushed over as soon as I received the decree. Looks like I was just imagining things."
Qi Wenyan presses his lips together, seeming unsure what to say.
Lin Qi says, "Since Your Highness doesn't like me, I'll go back."
"Don't..." Qi Wenyan finally speaks, looking a little nervous. He is nothing like the tyrant who used to fly into a rage at the slightest thing. "It's not that I don't like you."
Lin Qi has always been bold. "Then if Your Highness likes me, you have to take responsibility for me."
