The Lucky Star is Sweet and Wild

Flowers not yet withered
Gu Nian woke up to find herself a baby born to a poor family. Her mother was killed, her brother missing and she was homeless. Thankfully, there were many good people in the world. Still, everyone in the village told the Lin family was stupid—they could not even afford to make a living for themselves, but they had to adopt a baby from another family. They did not know that the baby had a pocket dimension and was blessed with good luck, and the Lin family soon rocketed to riches. Later, restaurants would fight over Gu Nian's recipes, and the silkworms she reared would spit silk of all collars, while her crops would weigh tons. All at once, she becomes famous. Everyone says that Gu Nian would never marry nobility no matter how much she earned! Her brother and father then returned to her, and she became the daughter of a duke! Noble son: Watch your tongue. I'm the one who doesn't deserve my wife!

An Extra’s Tale

“Compassion. What is compassion? Is it strength, or weakness. Is it mercy, or a half a measure? Is it a sign of naivety or experience? Or perhaps, it is one of those things that tread the line of ruin and preservation, it’s true meaning known only to gods. I wonder, what do you think of compassion?” “Compassion? For me, it is like a sword. One which you wield from the blade, not the grip.” ……………. Reshi’s life was not a happy one. His childhood was one of poverty, and a family barely keeping it together. It wasn’t a particularly fun childhood, so he decided to end it early. How? Well, he joined the army, where he was turned from child to weapon, expertly wielded by the republic. There he had met many great people, and he had seen them die also. A terrible life really. One that he wasn’t too sad to say goodbye to. After speaking to an extremely convincing deity, he decided to cash in his death for a new life, a glorious one from one of his favourites new novels. The life of a spoiled, and more importantly, rich young noble. Which he had been given….for all of thirty minutes. He had been placed in the body of a hated antagonist, one that only existed in a flashback backstory. His fate was destine to be pathetic, his end pathetic, loved and remembered by no one. But Reshi had already gone through that once. So this time he was determined to change things. To do something about his shitty fate, so that for the first time in two lives, he could carve out a little corner of peace for himself in the world, and maybe even find some happiness to go along with it.
