"Daddy!" Having just transmigrated to a parallel world, Yang Yi was bewildered to see a delicate and adorable little girl calling him "Dad." Okay, Xixi is definitely the biological daughter, and the child's mother is actually a cold and beautiful former pop diva. This has blown up big time! And problems are starting to arise. How to soothe a child? Yang Yi, a former lone assassin, was at his wits' end. How about telling some stories? Yang Yi never expected that the stories he copied would become a global sensation! How can I win back the mother of my child who left because I angered her? With experience, Yang Yi said that there is no problem that a love song cannot solve; if there is, then two songs will do! Many years later, Yang Yi sighed: Actually, I just wanted to open a coffee shop that sells sentimentality and quietly be an artistic and handsome man. Fans were shocked: Father-in-law, stop it! We're still waiting for our wife to star in "Léon: The Professional"! What?! How dare you lay a finger on our Xixi?! Yang Yi angrily drew his dragon blade: "I'll devour the sword of the dragon god!"

One day, Song Shuhang accidentally joined a chat group for hardcore fans of fantasy novels and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). The group members all addressed each other as "fellow Daoists," and their nicknames were filled with various titles like "Lord of a Palace," "Master of a Cave," "True Person," and "Celestial Master." Even the group owner's lost pet dog was referred to as a "Great Demon Dog Who Ran Away from Home." They spent all their time discussing alchemy, exploring secret realms, and cultivation techniques. One day, after lurking for a long time, he suddenly discovered that... Every single member of the group was actually a cultivator, the kind who could move mountains and overturn seas and live for thousands of years! Ugh, my worldview has completely shattered overnight!

"In the far East, there exists a strange little shop that has repeatedly refused Michelin three-star ratings. The prices are exorbitant; a bowl of fried rice with soup costs 288 RMB, oh, and it includes a side of kimchi, yet even so, long queues form. They don't accept reservations, only walk-ins, and countless people arrive by private jet specifically to queue, though of course, no parking or landing spots are provided. The service is appalling; customers are expected to serve themselves, clear their own dishes, and even wipe the tables!
