Stop Talking! I’m Throwing Lime!

[Sharp-Tongued Good-for-Nothing] [Transmigration] [Breaking the Rules with Insults] [Hilarious Ensemble Cast] [Living Off Others While Acting Like the Boss]

Cui Lei, the undisputed king of arguing at a modern auto repair shop, has a mouth tougher than his life and a body frail as paper. Struck by lightning, he lands in Yingming Continent, where people don't train in martial arts. Instead, they use a "resonance bone" in their throats to chant melodies and summon fire and lightning with their voices. The body he transmigrates into belongs to the useless young master of the Wen family in the Fuyu Kingdom, whose voice was thrown off-key by the nation’s chime during a ceremony. He can't sing a note in tune or cast a spell, making him a good-for-nothing in the truest sense.

But while this young master may have nothing else, his tongue is second to none. He can't beat anyone in a fight, but he can insult people until they spit blood, scam them into bankruptcy, or talk them into counting your money for you. While others spend ages preparing to cast spells, he's already flung a bag of slaked lime into their eyes: "Please, stop chanting! I’m throwing lime!"

Every satisfying moment in this story springs from one contrast: this is a world where "whoever shouts loudest is right," yet the protagonist is the only person on the continent who has completely separated "speaking" from "casting spells." He doesn't level up his combat prowess. He levels up his dirty tricks: his mouth, twisted common sense, little gadgets, and shamelessness, along with the entire city of Fuyu, which he leads astray.
