Summary

Writer of melodramatic novels, Fu Wenyu, finds himself transmigrated into ancient times.

 

The original owner of the body had a father who tragically fell ill and died while traveling to take the imperial exam. Not only did this deplete the family’s savings, but it also left them in dire straits.

 

This stirred up a hornet’s nest!

 

Their greedy uncle and aunt immediately turned against them, dividing the family property and driving Fu Wenyu’s household out.

 

Faced with a leaking thatched hut and a confused mother and younger sister, Fu Wenyu rolled up his sleeves and decided to fall back on his old profession.

 

He was ready to churn out ten thousand words a day without breaking a sweat!

 

The first branch of the Fu family was kicked out, and the whole village waited to see them fall into ruin.

 

But instead of collapsing, they watched Fu Wenyu pick up a pen and start writing storybooks. He was writing books while taking the imperial examination, he led his family out of Fujia Village, past the provincial capital, and all the way to the imperial city.

 

Meanwhile, wuxia rebirth stories, imperial exam cultivation fantasies, supernatural mysteries, infinite genre tales, and futuristic novels took the literary world by storm, spreading across the nation. Alongside these were “merchandise,” “stage plays,” and “theme parks” springing up everywhere, all in high demand.

 

And it didn’t stop there—his melodramatic stories started coming true!

 

When he wrote “The True and False Young Master”, a certain Master Tang discovered his son had been switched at birth by a servant.

 

When he wrote “The Legendary Stone Gambler”, the big stone used to press pickles at the house of Mrs. Wang in the next county was discovered to be a piece of jade, and she became rich overnight.

 

When he wrote “Tragic Love and Deep Affection”, a certain marquis reunited with his long-lost wife, who had run away while pregnant years ago. The couple resolved their misunderstandings, rekindled their love, and even recognized a daughter who had been bickering with him daily.

 

When he wrote “Imperial Exam Cultivation”…

 

When he wrote “Romance and Foraging Go Hand in Hand”…

 

Dumbfounded readers scrambled to hand over their wallets and kneel in reverence:

“Master Fu, write about me! Write about me!”

I like the story, the plots not really unique but its entertaining to read. My one issue with this novel is, well, the romance aspect of it. I don't care if the MC is deranged or a lunatic, however it doesn't make any sense why its in the plot. Where exactly does MC even find time for a romance is the grand scheme of things?!?!?It's so unrealistic and contradictory to how you established character... how exactly does romance fit into a novel where the protag is motivated by ambition to overcome the laws of the world in the novel?He wants powers, he actively strives for it and disregards the life of others like insects to achieve what he wants.... and now your trying to make me believe he can suddenly love after all that he's done and willing to do?It's ridiculous. You don't establish the essence of your character as ruthless and power hungry, devoid of feeling and morality, only seeking power, to add in a romance in the middle of the novel....You might ask why you shouldn't do this? Easy! Because someone willing to do anything for power would NEVER LOVE ANYONE that would become a HUGE weakness. It contradicts your plot and established MC's sense of self/motivations/goals that the author wrote HIMSELF.You could see from the earlier chapters of this novel that the author kept trying to find ways to make a romance happen, inserting the obvious FL every chance he got and it only got worse, especially at around chapter(s) 592+ onwards. It would have been all great except how the MC progressed many many chapters earlier. We know that he's a psychopath, and he lacks any feelings. By the time the romance (AKA lovesick desperate author wants some MEOWWW) comes in, its not only unbelievable, it's an insult to readers intelligence and time spent reading.

I hope  you don't make the same mistake of the tryanny  of steel and introduce the guns to fast and focus on cold weapons and infrastructure also it would  be nice to see more kingdom building instead of war and also hope you introduce heram as its fairly  common for powerful men to have them and it died after Christianity  took over and to all the people  who  complain  about the girls falling for the mc easily  in tryanny of steel are stupid first he is the mc second he is handsome third he is rich and powerful  and in old days where daughters wear  wed to just gain some profit and have to say in whatsoever its not hard to imagine why they fell for him being liberal  and all the above reason so they are just stupid I hope you add heram in this also hope this novel also has the mc writing books on philosophy and what  not as he lived in the future and describe  how thing might be in future English is not  my native tongue sorry

Alright guys settle down, this is not some cheap thrills and instant fight novels like your typical xianxia. It has more poetic and descriptive style, immersive at best and dragging at worst.Some people might said its deep and immersive. Like me. Some people might think its boring and pretentious. Well everybody is entitled to their opinion anyways.This story has steady pacing, detailed world building and deep characterization. The only bad side is the update speed I guess, its not fast enough lol.Story is interesting but ztj is still this author pinnacle so i give it 4 star.
