After Transmigrating into a Book, the Richest Man Only Wants to Be a Slacker [Completed + Extras]

Upcoming Novel-Hi, My Inheritance

Gu Bai worked hard his entire life and finally made it onto the rich list, only for his life to abruptly end before he could enjoy even a single day of the good times.

He transmigrates into a novel about infighting in a wealthy family, becoming a defenseless cannon-fodder character who gets utterly crushed right at the start.

His first day in the book coincides with a fight over the family fortune. Gu Bai wants no part of it. All he wants is to be a slacker, living off his money until he dies.

"Just give me my share. Divide the rest among yourselves." With that, Gu Bai takes his suitcase and leaves the Gu family home.

As it turns out, the head of the Gu family only faked his death to fool his rivals. He never expected to find his family in utter chaos, with everyone coveting his fortune.

He immediately draws up a will leaving his entire estate to Gu Bai, the one person who neither fights nor competes for anything.

Gu Bai is now one step closer to a life of idle comfort.

Living off his share of the family fortune, Gu Bai feels day after day that he has nothing to look forward to. This cannot go on.

Just then, the Chu family proposes a marriage alliance with the Gu family. When Chu Zeshen visits the Gu residence, Gu Bai catches a glimpse of him from afar.

There it is. Something to look forward to.

Gu Bai marries Chu Zeshen and moves into the Chu residence.

His range of activity there is quite small: the bedroom and the living room sofa.

One day, while Chu Zeshen is reading documents on the sofa, Gu Bai emerges from the bedroom, casually picks up a document from the sofa, and remarks, "This one's no good."

Chu Zeshen asks, "What's wrong with it?"

Not wanting anything more to do with the things from his previous life, Gu Bai replies lazily, "It's taking up space on my sofa. That's what's wrong with it."

Afterward, Chu Zeshen rejects that proposal and implements another, which ultimately secures an international partnership for the Chu Group.

Watching his company's stock soar, Chu Zeshen suddenly suspects that his wife might possess some kind of mystical power.

He subsequently leaves several more documents on the sofa. Without exception, following his wife's advice makes him money every time.

One day, fed up with documents taking over his sofa, Gu Bai tells Chu Zeshen, "Do you have any idea how tiring it is to throw documents away?"

Chu Zeshen draws Gu Bai into his arms. "Want to take a cushy position at my company?"

Gu Bai: "?" He only wants to be a slacker.

He gives Chu Zeshen a completely uninterested look.

Chu Zeshen adds, "Someday, everything I own will be yours."

At last, a spark lights up Gu Bai's placid eyes.

I don't want to, either, but he said his fortune would be mine!

Upcoming Novel-Hi, My Inheritance

Synopsis:

In his previous life, Yan Yu died on his way to being welcomed back into his wealthy birth family.

Only after his death did he learn that he was a marginal character in a novel. A single line-the real young master died in a car accident-had decided his fate.

The fake young master is the novel's universally adored darling. Everyone loves him.

Go ahead and love him. Love him to death, for all I care. It's none of my business.

"Young Master Yan, this is the will the master and madam left for you."

Wait, put the loving on hold. Yan Yu picks up the document and stares at it in disbelief. "They want me to enter an arranged marriage? What about my inheritance?"

"The master and madam left their entire estate to Young Master Li."

Yan Yu: Might as well just die.

But wait. Yan Yu hears that his intended spouse is a sickly man who pants three times for every step he takes-and the only son of another wealthy family, at that.

Well, isn't that an inheritance coming my way?

Yan Yu: Not dying anymore. Definitely not dying.

Duan Bohuai was raised outside the Duan family's tutelage from childhood. Though he is the sole heir of the family's main line, his frail health as an adult leaves him unable to support the family alone. The collateral branches take advantage of his weakness, gradually stripping the main line of its power.

Duan Bohuai only learns that he is becoming someone's husband on his wedding day. When he returns to the bridal suite and opens the door, a guileless young man steps out, his eyes curved in a bright smile.

At the sight of Duan Bohuai, Yan Yu's eyes light up. Hi, my inheritance.

As the partner of an inheritance-no, wait, of Duan Bohuai-Yan Yu takes on the responsibility of caring for his husband.

If he pants three times with every step, he simply shouldn't walk.

Yan Yu gets Duan Bohuai a wheelchair, which he uses even when commuting to and from work.

Seeing Duan Bohuai in a wheelchair, the Duan family's collateral branches assume his condition has worsened and brazenly accelerate their efforts to strip him of power.

Duan Bohuai seizes the opportunity to gather evidence against them.

Yan Yu personally feeds Duan Bohuai his meals.

Assuming Duan Bohuai has little time left, the collateral branches openly collude with the company's directors in preparation for the next board meeting.

Duan Bohuai closes the net and begins his counterattack.

Yan Yu dutifully attends to Duan Bohuai's daily needs, hoping only that his husband will leave him his entire estate when he dies.

Yet the more care he provides, the more something feels wrong. Feeling the other man's abs, he wonders, Why does he seem to be getting stronger and stronger?

One day, Duan Bohuai picks up Yan Yu, who has fallen asleep on the sofa.

Yan Yu opens his eyes groggily. "You're not panting anymore?"

Carrying him upstairs, Duan Bohuai asks, "You want to hear me pant?"

Yan Yu nods. "Yes."

If Duan Bohuai is panting, that means I'm getting close to collecting my inheritance.

Then the two get drunk and sleep together.

Remembering those breathless pants in his ear the night before, Yan Yu lies in bed, utterly bereft of the will to live. Might as well just die after all.

Theme: Work hard at life and have a goal to strive toward.
