I am greedy, lustful, sweet-mouthed, treacherous, cunning, vicious, and cruel, but I know that I am a good person.
【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter 1, Zhuangzi's Dawn Dream. The protagonist, Chen Shou, is fifteen or sixteen years old and comes from a farming family. He is favored by the widowed Lady Su. He dies, only to be possessed by another spirit. Because of his good looks, Lady Su's maid also takes a fancy to him. When he is driven away, she hides a hairpin in her parcel as a token of their love.

Chapter 2: What a night! The protagonist walks down the street, finds a jewelry store to confirm the price of a hairpin, then pawns it off to a wealthy young man for a low price. Having secured his first pot of gold since crossing over, he sets a goal and heads straight to a restaurant for a drink and some roast chicken. He has no idea what the Great Qi Dynasty is.

Chapter 3: Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. The protagonist returned home with a roast chicken and gave his nephew a good meal. His brother and sister-in-law treated him well; if it weren't for survival, they wouldn't have sold him. The next day, his nephew was bullied by other children, and the protagonist stepped in to stop them, beating them up.

Chapter 4: Bluffing. The Xu family in the village, upon learning that the protagonist had been driven out by Mrs. Su and coveting the Chen brothers' one acre of paddy field, repeatedly began to stir up trouble. The protagonist, accompanied by his nephew, went to their house, feigning the presence of someone behind them, which really frightened the Xu family.

Chapter 5: Owning a car and a house. The protagonist takes his nephew to the city, rents a house, buys a donkey, and takes him out to a restaurant. He accidentally offends the courtesan, but this leads to a business opportunity. He originally knew nothing, but fortunately, he had experience in the perfume business and learned the basics of distillation, and he actually made perfume.

【Brief Comment】

Ri Risheng, a level 5 author, has written many historical novels including "Northward Expedition to the Qing Dynasty" and "The First Number One Scholar in the Song Dynasty".

This book has 31,300 followers on Qidian, 506 on Bookstore, and 180,000 fans. It launched on September 18th and reached premium status on November 24th. It's interesting that this book only has one Silver Alliance member. Based on my personal experience, this Silver Alliance member likely came about in this way.

From the perspective of the plot, I think it's okay.

The protagonist's name is Chen Shou. I don't know if it's a tribute to a historical figure or something else, but while it's a little hard to relate to, it's not a big deal. At the beginning, the protagonist dies at the hands of the widowed Madam Su, in a rather unusual manner. The maidservant also likes him, purely for her looks.

He, who had traveled through time, was unlike the omnipotent, quick-to-riches protagonists of other novels. His first fortune came from the power of a gigolo, his first project stemming from the taunts of an Oiran. He made a name for himself by making perfume, sold it to the military, and became a soldier.

The trajectory of his life is tortuous enough, which shows that he must have very high IQ and EQ, so that he can live well as an ordinary person in this era of fictional history.

This author's books haven't been successfully completed. His writing skills are very mature, and his ideas are quite impressive. However, he tends to end his stories poorly, which can be quite unsettling. In the historical genre, these authors are quite resilient.

I hope this book can be longer so that the story in my heart can be fully revealed.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

This book is still being updated normally and has not ended badly.

It's strange why I'm worried that this book will end badly.

It’s because the title of the book is a bit dangerous.

So, please take the time to read this book while it is still readable.
