Bai Feng was an orphan from Blue Star. He had been treated poorly at the orphanage since childhood and bullied by the other children at every turn. After he grew up, his bosses at work squeezed every last bit of time out of him, until he finally dropped dead at his workstation.
But it seemed that heaven took pity on him. A gray-haired old man who called himself "God"
gave him a chance to live another life. He would not live it in his original world, however, but in the old man's world.
When Bai Feng heard he could have another life, he readily agreed. He also took the opportunity to ask the old man who called himself "God" for a few benefits.
But when Bai Feng thought about that unknown condition, his heart filled with worry.
"Forget it. I'm already here anyway. I'll just take it easy one day at a time."
He called it taking it easy because he had been busy right up until his death in his last life. Now that he had another chance, he would live for himself and enjoy life to the fullest.
To make sure he could enjoy life, Bai Feng had asked God for quite a few good things.
Money, influence, personal strength, and so on...
For now, though, the important thing was to get a general idea of the world he was in.
After Bai Feng repeatedly tried to pound on the invisible barrier, a wave of dizziness suddenly swept over him, and he fell asleep.
Ten days later...
When Bai Feng woke again, he found that he had emerged from that inexplicable seal. He was now lying in a crib.
As Bai Feng looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, he suddenly felt a great deal of information appear in his mind. It flooded into his head, making him cry out in pain without realizing it.
But because he was still a baby, his cries of pain came out as an infant's wails.
When Maya Yotsuba, who was in the room, heard Bai Feng crying, she hurried over and took him in her arms.
So warm and soft, so soft, and she smells so nice.
Feeling himself suddenly lifted into someone's arms, he found the swelling pain in his head had eased considerably, and he stopped crying at once.
"There, there. Don't cry, don't cry."
Maya Yotsuba, looking after a child for the first time, comforted Bai Feng with awkward movements.
But when she saw that Bai Feng had stopped crying, Maya Yotsuba breathed a sigh of relief.
The Yotsuba Family and the Saegusa Family had paid quite a price to obtain this baby.
After they brought the block of ice back, all they knew was that it contained a baby frozen inside, and only the Yotsuba and Saegusa families could approach it. The other seven families each demanded numerous benefits before withdrawing from the competition.
But neither the Yotsuba nor the Saegusa family was willing to give way, so they ultimately decided to share ownership of the treasure.
Only a few days after they brought the block of ice back, it turned into a transparent sphere. In the end, the ice vanished completely, instantly revealing the baby's true appearance.
His white hair and red eyes made both the head of the Yotsuba Family and the head of the Saegusa Family marvel.
But because they could not approach Bai Feng and Koichi Saegusa was a rough fellow, they decided that Maya Yotsuba would look after Bai Feng for the time being, until he fully awakened.
After the swelling pain disappeared, Bai Feng began slowly processing the information that had suddenly appeared in his mind.
As he processed it, Bai Feng discovered that it concerned various types of magic and how to use them.
At the same time, he noticed many points of light suddenly appear in his field of vision. He knew they were manifestations of magic power, and that to strengthen his own magic power, he needed to absorb those points of light into his body for his own use.
But he suddenly noticed that the points of light seemed very close to him. They eagerly burrowed into his body of their own accord, saving him the trouble of absorbing the magic power himself.
It looks like it's because of my body. Could this be the cheat that person gave me?
Bai Feng suddenly remembered the cheat he had asked that person for earlier. But it made him curious: didn't this world have mechanical weapons? How could it have magic too?
Now that the barrier trapping him had disappeared, Bai Feng could investigate for himself what kind of world this was.
But then he remembered that he was still a baby. In his current body, it seemed he could not even stand yet.
Even speaking would take time to get used to. Most importantly, there was the language of this world: although the speech of the person before him sounded very familiar, he could not understand it.
Ten years later...
After living in this world for ten years, Bai Feng had learned a great deal about it.
This was a world where technology and magic coexisted, and it was a world he knew quite well.
In his last life, whenever he felt down, he would watch anime to vent his gloom. This world was from one of the anime he had watched.
He had also learned that the group who had brought him here belonged to the Ten Master Clans, and that the ones who had carried him all the way here were Maya Yotsuba and Koichi Saegusa.
He had learned all this by asking Maya Yotsuba. But when she told him what had happened, he still did not know why only Maya Yotsuba and Koichi Saegusa could touch the block of ice-that is, him while he was sealed.
Even so, he was glad he had not fallen into the hands of those hook-nosed people. From what Maya Yotsuba had told him, he knew they were no good, and that they especially liked conducting human experiments.
Knowing that Maya Yotsuba and Koichi Saegusa had been looking after him all along also made Bai Feng feel pleased. After all, the Ten Master Clans were the top families in this world.
Because the sealed Bai Feng had originally belonged to both the Yotsuba Family and the Saegusa Family, now that the seal had been lifted and he had come out, the two families were raising him together.
Because of this, Bai Feng now got along well with the Shiba sisters and Mayumi Saegusa.
The Shiba siblings, who had originally been obsessed with each other, gained an older brother, and Mayumi Saegusa gained one as well.
But he knew the plot could not be changed, because before he transmigrated here, that person had given him a warning.
Before you have enough strength, don't try to change anything.
Having witnessed that person's strength, Bai Feng took his advice to heart.
But as a transmigrator with a cheat given to him by a god, Bai Feng naturally still wanted to give it a try.
After many attempts, Bai Feng learned that as long as the final outcome was the same as in the original plot, nothing bad would happen. But if he changed the final outcome of an event, he would experience some unpleasant things.
For example, his instant noodles would always be missing the seasoning, or there would never be any toilet paper when he went to the bathroom...
(The author is just joking around, so don't take it seriously.)
Once, he tried to change the matter of Tatsuya Shiba becoming Miyuki Shiba's guardian and nearly lost his life. Fortunately, he corrected it in time and saved his neck.
(Readers who have read the original work should know about the guardian matter, so there's no need to explain it further.)
The guardian matter was also a crucial point that laid the foundation for the siblings' later obsession with each other. But Maya Yotsuba seemed to misunderstand at the time and, for some inexplicable reason, added another guardian for Miyuki Shiba: Baifeng Uesugi.
Baifeng Uesugi was Bai Feng's name in this world. As for why his surname was Uesugi, it was because, in an anime he had watched in his last life, that was the surname of a character he liked, so he took the liberty of borrowing it.
Of course, Maya Yotsuba and Koichi Saegusa had disagreed over Bai Feng's surname at the time. Both wanted Baifeng Uesugi to take their surname, but after failing to reach an agreement, they ultimately left the decision to Baifeng Uesugi himself.
When Koichi Saegusa learned of this, he was very unhappy and proposed that Baifeng Uesugi also serve as Mayumi Saegusa's guardian.
Suddenly having two people to protect, Baifeng Uesugi felt at once that his carefree life was slipping away from him. At the same time, he knew this was also the result of forcibly changing events, so he could only accept it in silence.
He was afraid that if he refused, something even more outrageous might happen afterward.
But because he had to serve as guardian to two people at once, the guardian's role, which he had originally expected would require him to stay by their side at all times, became a token role in Baifeng Uesugi's case.
