I Became Rich by Eating Melons in the Era of Literature (1970s)

nerdygangster14
  As a melon eater in the new era, Jiang Youtao is like a melon in the melon field. She is there wherever there are melons. So on a thunderstorm night with lightning and rain, she traveled through time and became a poor little girl with the same name in the 1970s.   The poor little girl lost her mother at an early age, and her scumbag father remarried. Not only did she not have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, but she also had to do endless housework and endure endless beatings and scolding.   The time when Jiang Youtao traveled through time was the moment when the poor scumbag father forced the original owner to go to the countryside to take over his stepbrother's place in order to have someone to take care of him in his old age and to smash a pot after his death.   Thinking about the environment of hunger and cold in this era, Jiang Youtao's eyes went dark. In the last second before she lost consciousness, a voice appeared in her mind:   [ Ding ~ The melon-eating system is at your service. As long as you complete the melon-eating task, you can exchange it for supplies~~]   In order to have enough food and clothes, Jiang Youtao tried hard, so she ran around in the bloody world that was a fusion of many contemporary literatures, either eating melons or on the way to eat melons.   A certain educated youth from the same educated youth point traveled through time with space supplies, but ended up being a poverty alleviation stepmother;   "The mission is here ~ Watch and mess up the first meeting between the male and female protagonists, and the rewards are: 3 meat buns, 500g beef jerky, 1kg butter melon seeds."   A young wife in the village who had just been married for one day woke up and wanted to divorce her husband and marry her ex-husband's uncle;   "Ding ~ Watch the famous scene of the heroine getting divorced and applaud in public to receive 5kg of rice, 250g of pork, 5 feet of cloth, and 1kg of salt and pepper melon seeds."   The accountant's eldest granddaughter is a well-known lucky bag, while the second granddaughter is a jinx who is plagued by bad luck;   "Ding ~ Watch the jinx star commit suicide and help her, and you will get 5kg of white flour, a chicken drumstick, and 1kg of green tea flavored melon seeds."   Jiang Youtao enjoyed eating melons, and the melon seeds in her hand kept increasing. She had to go out to sell them. Before she knew it, she had made a fortune by selling melon seeds and became a famous roasted food king after the reform and opening up. The courtyard houses in Beijing and the small houses in Haishi were no longer a dream for her. She could go wherever she wanted.   But while she was eating the melon, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. Jiang Youtao reluctantly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to him: "Big brother, do you want some melon seeds?" ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ One-sentence summary: There are too many melons, and the melon-eating crowd is very busy.

"A Smile Over the Abyss"

Title: The Void Behind the Smile A thousand years after a war that shattered the continents and rewrote the laws of reality, Earth survives in fragments. Fifty-five landmasses remain, each ruled by a Lord whose true nature defies human comprehension, each home to supernatural abilities that emerged from the ashes of the old world. It is a world of staggering inequality and ancient scars, where mythological beings once walked alongside humanity during its darkest century and where the ruins of civilization are still being scavenged by those living on the margins. The war is over. The damage is not. Rupson was a college student from Nepal who read too many web novels and knew exactly how transmigration stories were supposed to go. Then he died in a traffic accident and woke up in the body of Shiva — the legitimate son of one of the fifty-five Lords — in a sprawling capital city called Ashorkoat. He inherited the body's reflexes, its reputation as a generational talent, and its nickname, "Prince of Cold," but not its memories. He has the muscle memory of someone extraordinary and the emotional map of a stranger, and the people around him are far too sharp to be fooled for long. The transmigration itself was not clean. Something happened in the space between his death and his arrival — something that left marks on his body, a hollowness in his chest, and a coldness that makes animals flinch when he walks past. He doesn't know what it was. He isn't sure he wants to. This is not a power fantasy. Shiva knows the tropes, and he knows he isn't the chosen one. The abilities in this world are limited only by imagination, which means the ceiling is effectively nonexistent and the floor is a quiet, unremarkable death. There is no destiny guiding him, no narrative protecting him, and no guarantee that the people around him will survive the consequences of his mistakes. He cannot read people — he pattern-matches against frameworks from his old life, and he is visibly, consequentially wrong about individuals more often than he'd like to admit. Every advantage he carries comes with a cost he doesn't yet understand, and the body he inhabits is riddled with anomalies that predate both his arrival and the Awakening itself: eyes that no ancestor ever had, a birth omen that the scholars still argue over, and a physicality that shouldn't be possible for someone who hasn't even begun to Awaken. As Shiva navigates the treacherous politics of a Lord's household, the factional warfare of a fractured world, and the slow, grinding process of becoming someone he isn't sure he wants to be, he will build something from almost nothing — a network, a structure, a web of relationships that spans the pillars of power, information, and wealth. But power in this world is not the same as satisfaction, and the architecture he constructs will be tested by forces that operate on scales he cannot yet perceive and by moral compromises that no amount of genre-savviness can prepare him for. The world does not care about his backstory. The people he meets are not NPCs waiting to be recruited. And the chaos that underlies everything — the unconscious, indifferent substrate of reality itself — is not a tool to be wielded but a truth to be survived. The Architecture of Chaos is a seinen post-apocalyptic science-fantasy about what happens when an ordinary person is dropped into an extraordinary situation and discovers that the extraordinary is far more terrifying, far more morally ambiguous, and far less interested in his survival than any story ever promised. It is a story about the gap between knowing the tropes and living through the reality, about the small acts that reshape the world more than any grand battle, and about a single question that will follow Shiva from his first morning in a stranger's body all the way to the end: Was my journey worth it? Should I have done what I did?

The Reborn Sovereign of Ruin, Bound by His Star

Revenge is, by all means, one of the most guaranteed things to happen when a warlord with dragon blood in his veins and ether at his side is betrayed, poisoned, and reduced not to death but to decades of obliterating pain as his ether channels burn from his very soul. Only one remained. One channel, thin and fragile around his heart, survived long enough for him to endure, to wait, to plan, to manipulate, and, eventually, to return to the world with one clear purpose: to burn down the nation of the traitor who thought he had erased him for good. But then came a fortune teller at a street stall. And with the fortune teller came a dare Arik accepted for fun, a spread of cards drawn with no real expectation beyond momentary amusement. Instead, he found something far more dangerous than revenge waiting for him. His mate. A story of rebirth, revenge, enemies-to-allies-to-lovers, political ruin, ether, and the deeply unfortunate reality that the one person tied to Arik’s fate may be the very last person he should ever want. — Warnings, disclaimers, cries for help… call them whatever you want. This is the third book set in the same universe, but it can be read on its own. The world will be fully presented, so nobody needs to do homework before stepping into the chaos. For anyone curious, the first two books are: Bound by the Mark of Lies Shadow Unit Scandal: The Commander’s Omega This universe is ABO dragged directly into etherpunk, political fantasy, violence, bad coping mechanisms, and my ongoing inability to let powerful people make emotionally healthy decisions. There will be violence. There will be gore. There will be smut. There will also be vengeance, terrible restraint, worse impulses, emotional damage, and at least one man reacting to fate like it personally insulted his bloodline. Good luck.

Douluo Comparison: Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang

Transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, became young Yu Xiaogang, the Master, but this time he refused to accept his fate. Through hard work and research on martial souls, he defied destiny and eventually became a Limit Douluo. Just then, the heavens descended. [Comparison of the two Douluos, first: Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang and Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang] Grandmaster] Yu Xiaogang awakened the martial soul Luo Sanpao, with only half a level of innate soul power. He cursed the heavens all day long, expending a huge amount of his family's resources to force himself to reach level ten. Then, based on his own theories, he selected a pig-like soul beast, depriving Luo Sanpao of the opportunity to evolve, leaving his soul power at level twenty-nine without any further progress. Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang, with the same martial soul and innate soul power, contributed the secret of whale glue in exchange for growth resources. After reaching level ten, with the thought of dying if he didn't succeed, he absorbed the soul ring of a pure-blooded dragon-type soul beast, defying destiny and allowing Luo Sanpao to gradually transform and evolve into the Holy Light Dragon. And it wasn't just in cultivation, research, or even personal conduct that Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang completely overwhelmed Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, letting everyone know that such a vast difference could exist even within the same person. Bibi Dong: "Why can we be together in that world? Xiaogang, why can't you try harder?" Yu Yuanzhen: "This kind of person should be my son!" Ning Fengzhi: "Compared to Dragon God Douluo, Yu Xiaogang doesn't deserve to be called a Grandmaster at all!" Flender: "I've already become a Title Douluo over there? Honestly, can we switch brothers?" Later, the comparison between Blue Silver Entangled Tang San and Ultimate Life Tang San was introduced, and only then did people realize that under the influence of Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang, the entire continent had already undergone a dramatic change.
