The Little Gentleman of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The reason it gets increasingly awkward is that the protagonist is completely tied to the Fang family. The author gave him a premise that he'll die if he doesn't stay with the Fang family, and you can't argue with that. The Fang family is the core; no matter how the plot twists, it always ends up back there with the female lead.

As I read on, I felt frustrated. The protagonist wanted to take refuge in the Fang family, so the most important thing was to help Fang Xiaotan deal with her enemies. But the protagonist knew that Fang Xiaotan was in trouble, but he just didn't say anything. He insisted on waiting for her uncle and cousin to come looking for trouble before dealing with it.

There aren't many good people in the Fang family, so how could they have a tradition of being virtuous for nine generations?

The master has ascended to immortality, and the protagonist has even transcended tribulation, but I'm puzzled by one thing: why didn't he leave anything behind? It's not like he was injured during tribulation and transmigrated; where are his magical artifacts, spirit stones, elixirs, and cave dwelling? Even a swordsman's scabbard can exorcise ghosts, but this tribulation-transcending protagonist has nothing. And this mode seems similar to "King of Soldiers" or "Bodyguards."

Since your master foresaw that something might go wrong during your tribulation, why didn't he prepare in advance for the recovery of his cultivation if he failed? Does one retain nothing while one still has cultivation? It's strange that one has nothing after becoming a mortal.

It's incredibly frustrating and disheartening. And it doesn't seem quite right; even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse.

It's too passive. The protagonist is completely controlled by the nose. A lowly official trying to force himself on the female lead—who else but him would fail? Either ignore it, since it's a fake marriage and they don't share a room, and there's no romantic development between them—they're like complete strangers.

They're about to undergo tribulation, and they don't even have a cave dwelling, any backup plan, or anything at all. How is that possible?

The more I watch, the more something seems off. The main characters aren't from Earth. Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian appear in front of him, and Lanruo Temple hasn't even reacted yet. This kind of fan fiction, with its feigned ignorance, is really boring.

Why do people nowadays love watching stories about men marrying into families?
