"The Richest Man Just Wants to Slack Off After Transmigrating into a Book" by size5 [Complete + extras]

Synopsis:

After a lifetime of hard work, Gu Bai 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 life.

He transmigrated into a novel about infighting in a wealthy family, becoming a cannon-fodder character with no ability to fight back, who was practically ground to dust right at the start.

His first day in the book coincided with a fight over the family fortune. Gu Bai wanted no part in it. He just wanted to laze around, live off others, and wait out his days.

"Just give me my share. Divide the rest among yourselves." With that, Gu Bai left the Gu Family home, pulling his suitcase behind him.

Later, it turned out that the head of the Gu Family had only faked his death to fool his rivals. He had never expected to find the Gu Family in utter chaos, with everyone eyeing his fortune.

He immediately drew up a will, leaving his entire estate to Gu Bai, who neither fought nor competed for anything.

Gu Bai was another step closer to living off others and waiting out his days.

Gu Bai lived off his share of the family fortune without earning a penny. Day after day, he felt he had nothing to look forward to. This couldn't go on.

Just then, the Chu Family proposed a marriage alliance with the Gu Family. When Chu Zeshen came to the Gu Family home, Gu Bai glanced at him from afar.

He had found something to look forward to.

Gu Bai married Chu Zeshen and moved into the Chu Family home.

Gu Bai's range of activity in the Chu Family home was limited to the bedroom and the living room sofa.

One day, Chu Zeshen was reading documents on the sofa when Gu Bai came out of the bedroom, casually picked up a document from the sofa, and remarked, "This one's no good."

"What's wrong with it?" Chu Zeshen asked.

Gu Bai didn't want anything more to do with the things from his previous life. "It's taking up my sofa. That's what's wrong with it," he said lazily.

Afterward, Chu Zeshen rejected that proposal and implemented another, which ultimately secured an international partnership for the Chu Group.

Watching his company's stock price soar, Chu Zeshen suddenly felt that his wife had something a little mystical about him.

He subsequently left several more documents on the sofa. Without exception, following his wife's advice made him money.

One day, Gu Bai had had enough of documents taking up his sofa. He said to Chu Zeshen, "Do you have any idea how tiring it is to throw documents away?"

Chu Zeshen reached out and pulled Gu Bai into his arms. "Want to coast along in a position at my company?"

Gu Bai: "?" He just wanted to slack off.

Gu Bai glanced at him, unable to muster any interest whatsoever.

Chu Zeshen added, "All my assets will be yours in the future."

At last, a little light sparked in Gu Bai's calm eyes.

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

Brief review: Gu Bai transmigrates into a novel about infighting in a wealthy family, becoming the Gu Family's least favored third young master. Through a series of coincidences, Gu Bai gains the right to inherit shares in the Gu Group, with the condition that he marry Chu Zeshen, the head of the Chu Family. Chu Zeshen is the first to propose a contractual marriage. Looking at the figure with all those zeros in the contract, Gu Bai thinks, I'll get the inheritance rights, plus tens of millions under the marriage agreement. Why wouldn't I agree? Gu Bai marries Chu Zeshen and continues his laid-back life after the wedding... This novel features humorous language and a lighthearted tone. Through the perspective of the bottom protagonist, it reveals the characters, schemes, and stories behind the wealthy family's infighting. The comeuppances are well paced, every supporting character is vividly portrayed, and the leads dote on each other in their daily lives, alongside amusing little stories of everyday interactions with pets. This is a sweet romance not to be missed.

Chapter 1

A bark sounded beside his ear, and Gu Bai jolted awake in bed. Whether the dog's bark or a nightmare had startled him, he didn't know. A thin sheen of sweat covered his forehead, and his hands, with their well-defined knuckles, gripped the black bedsheet so tightly that his fingertips turned white.

The instant Gu Bai opened his eyes, his mind went blank. It took him a while to regain his senses. What greeted his eyes was an unfamiliar room and a border collie beside the bed, panting at him.

The black-and-white border collie's eyes were full of wariness, as though he had noticed something wrong with his owner in bed. But the person in bed was his familiar owner; he could never have imagined that his owner had become someone else.

Gu Bai sat up in bed and calmly surveyed the room. Only after confirming that he was safe for the moment did he recall the memories that had just appeared in his mind, memories that did not belong to him.

They belonged to a young master from a wealthy family who shared his exact name. Although they both came from wealthy families, this young master's experiences thus far had clearly remained carefree.

The only major upheaval had come a week earlier, when he learned that his father had gone missing at sea. Unable to accept it at the time, he had impulsively driven home and gotten into a car accident.

Whether the hospital had failed to detect a problem or the young master had never been seriously injured, the Gu Family had brought him home after a full examination, and he had remained unconscious ever since.

Gu Bai had also been in a car accident in a parallel world, a very serious one. The force of the impact had slammed painfully into him inside the car. Shattered glass had slashed his cheeks, bright red blood had blurred his eyes, and the piercing screech of brakes and blaring horns had filled his ears.

The tremendous impact had knocked Gu Bai unconscious. When he opened his eyes, he was here.

So he had already died in that parallel world, and now he had transmigrated into a novel he had once read but had almost entirely forgotten. The only thing he remembered was that a minor cannon-fodder character in the book shared his exact name.

Gu Bai had never expected transmigration into a book to happen to him. Had he known, he would have memorized the entire text.

Once he calmed down, he gradually accepted this fact.

A snuffling sound came from beside him again. Gu Bai had forgotten that there was another living creature in the room besides himself.

Gu Bai looked at the border collie beside the bed and blurted out, "Mocha."

Hearing his owner call his name, the wariness in the border collie's eyes turned to delight. His owner was calling his name.

Mocha bounded onto the bed in a single leap, his tail whirling like a propeller as he nudged Gu Bai's body with his muzzle, stopping just short of wiping snot bubbles onto him.

Gu Bai had never kept a pet before. Now he had acquired a dog out of nowhere, and from the looks of it, Mocha was very loyal to his owner.
