Ruan Qing picked up an ancient man.

The man said, “I have worked in the industry for many years, earning ten thousand taels of gold and boxes full of jewels.”

Ruan Qing asked, “Where are they?”

The man: “…In ancient times.”

“Then that’s fine.” Ruan Qing stuffed the mop into his hands, sweetly saying, “Mop the floor clean, wash the plates and bowls, and remember to take the clothes out of the washing machine and hang them. The washing machine is that square thing that spins. Then, obediently wait for me to come home.”

She slammed the door and left.

The man looked up at the sky and sighed: Still have to earn money to support the family to gain status.

Later, a man who could run on eaves and walk on walls exploded in popularity online and became a mysterious internet celebrity.

Ruan Qing frowned: “You changed to a new car? Where did the money come from?”

“Just saved a little private stash,” the man coughed and said, “I handed over everything else to you. This is household money earned by your husband.”

If you ever had a rebellious Soul or that chuuninbyou otherwise known as Middle School Spirit or just that rebellious kind of like notion... Of you know fighting bad guys and you love action and just that kind of Soul and childness about you then this book is for you. I would recommend you just be the raws yourself since the translation with this group is not good because it's just MTL anyways. It would probably be better if there was a real translator but unfortunately the first couple of... more>> chapters seem to potentially have had a real translator that just didn't want to do the whole book.

It's really a fun idea. I think the concept is fun and just everything about it is fun and it really catches that taste and flavor that you enjoy and to be honest the main character totally has the right idea about it like how she enjoys when an ancient person experiences something for the first time or just seeing how a person can grow in a new environment while also being skilled in their own way is very fun. It's a very unique flavor if you like that kind of flavor you will like this.

The reason why I don't give it five stars is because I'm a hater. I'm a hater of the social influencer system. I'm a hater of shorts. I don't even like reality TV show novels most of the time unless it's really well done and live streamers... I can get over them only if it's really well done.... When he got on to doing social media shorts which is honestly expected at this point.. The only part where it was interesting to me was when they did the drone shot of him being in like the snowy mountains and doing his martial arts. I thought that was like high class. But then when they were doing like advertisements and selling things, not that he did it directly but basically saying that and just everything that you could see and influencer do now on an app without me needing to have to read about it in a novel LOL. But unique because he's a martial artist. So that's the only unique part. But then he started doing drama series shorts online and I thought I was open-minded but maybe I'm narrow-minded because
Spoiler

The fact that his girlfriend AKA the MC wrote a s*x scene and basically planned out how the s*x scene was going to be directed and worked out it's just like... girl I don't know I like I just I'm sorry I guess I'm not open-minded. But if that was my boyfriend, oh hell no. If he wants to do a s*x scene that's because I accepted that he wants to be an actor. But I don't even think I would be with an actor. But even then if I was with an actor, I don't want to see the s*x scene. I don't want to be directing it. And I don't want to be writing it. Maybe that would give you a sense of security knowing that like it's all planned and everything. But if I have to plan this... then why do I have to plan this? Why am I planning this? Actually maybe... don't have one? But she was like, no it needs to happen for the story. Like the online people won't be satisfied. Girl why do we care about the people online that much? Because it'll make him successful? Ok girl work queen for rooting on your bf like this... Even their proposal at the end of the novel had people online watching them get get proposed to each other. I think...I think this is my issue with the fact that I don't like capitalism, I don't like consumerism, and I don't like social media as a form of social currency or the idea that being famous is meaningful. I think celebrities status is different because sometimes acting or singing is an art form but when you do short form content you know you're doing content because you want to be an influencer or you want to make money directly from regular people's attention and wallets. I mean the difference between that and big screen actors may not be that extreme actually, but I think I just hate the fast paced social media and just like I'm personally at a point in my life where I'm tired of looking at influencers and short form media, so I just did not need to read about it personally. I don't think this would bother anyone else but yeah it's just like it's kind of the idea that you value netizen's opinions And you're just building up into the point where he shows his face to the world. Where I don't think he ever has to. I think privacy is such an important and valued thing in society that I thought it was so admirable that he was willing to appreciate that. I think just because you're good looking doesn't mean anyone's allowed to put you online. I think that's a point in our society that we should be questioning. But I don't know. This is my opinion.

It's only because of these details that I don't like it all that much but I do think the romance is really well done and I think the concept is very interesting. I think it has a very unique flavor to it and there's nothing particularly distasteful about it other than my personal disinterest in the way he had to unfortunately lean on becoming an influencer and internet famous but yeah I know internet Fame is basically real Fame now so it's probably cuz I'm old fashioned I don't know LOL. So I don't hate on internet influencers but I think I don't necessarily like any certain novel that focuses on valuing the attention of other people. Even in entertainment novels I prefer entertainment novels that are more about the romance or the way they film or any of that, then focusing on what netizen's have to say or feel. At some point you have to think how much are you focusing on the success of how people view him versus the actual the progression of the novel and how well we know the characters and their lives? But if their lives are inundated by focusing on view counts and what people online think of them (which is what the novel becomes near 3rd half of the novel to help him make money and his career), then of course naturally that becomes the focus of the novel but that is particularly boring to me.

I have to say that it's only if you feel jaded that it really is an issue, but I actually don't think the netizens in here are that annoying or overly written. It's only because the focus of his career ended up this way that we had to focus on it unfortunately, which is not my preference. That's it. I do think it's a good romance novel... Sigh. I just think people in this society just focus too much in caring about fame because otherwise why did they have to film their

proposal why did it have to be online and why did it have to be live streamed? And that was you know the end of the romance it's just like okay. That was the end of the novel. Omg Like tell me what your values are without telling me what your values are. It's what the readers want to see it's because it's what the readers values because children nowadays want to grow up to be an influencer. My God.

I think it's still a solid romance book. It's very fun and unique besides that if You aren't bothered by the same things I am. But even then I really enjoyed this book prior to that LOL <<less
