In a world where superior computing power equates to superior combat strength, 21st-century knowledge is already enough to make one stand out from the crowd. Yet, even that is not enough. A ring capable of connecting to other worlds allows Cheng Jinzhou, a PhD in theoretical physics, to access entire books.

His ideal life is to get by in peace, renting out a modest home and making enough to live on without ever getting rich.

Curator note

Hao Ren, true to his name, is a good person whose ideal is to live a peaceful life as a landlord who is neither poor nor rich—at least that's how it was before a bunch of crazy creatures moved into his house. A secluded, dilapidated house, a bunch of somewhat abnormal non-human creatures, and a labor contract from a "god"—these three elements combined make Hao Ren the busiest landlord and most capable nanny in the world. Thus begins the most chaotic, strangest, and most abnormal landlord-tenant story. "From the day I put my fingerprint on the employment contract, I knew I was on a sinking ship..."
