Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

[18 years old: You have become very popular. The famous copyright agent, Lei Yong, has found you and signed a cooperation contract with you.]

[19 years old: You have been duped. All the copyright has been taken away. Your pen name has been banned. You have been banned by the publishing industry. You have been crying at home.]

When he saw this, Xu Yuan could not help but feel speechless. He knew that his good days were over and that his life was about to go downhill.

[23 years old: You’ve lost your lawsuit. You didn’t accept the verdict, and was going to file an appeal.]

[24 years old: You’ve been slandered by Lei Yong. You’ve become socially infamous.]

[29 years old: You’ve failed in your lawsuit again. You’ve been hurt so badly that you can’t recover from it. Because of the internet violence, you don’t dare to go out to work. You’ve been eating at home and waiting for your death. Your parents felt sorry for you. They said that they could understand what you’re going through.]

[35 years old: You always shut yourself at home. Your parents became impatient and urged you to go on blind dates and get married.]

[36 years old: You went on more than a dozen blind dates without success. You are already a famous Old Fox in the blind date market. Your parents couldn’t maintain the mortgage and moved back to their hometown in the countryside.]

[40 years old: You married into a neighboring village and took your wife’s last name. Your wife is unruly and fierce.]

[43 years old: Your wife is pregnant. For the sake of your child, you decide to change your appearance and fight for your child.]

[44 years old: The child is not yours. You were forced out of your house by your wife and Old Wang. You have nothing left.]

[51 years old: You felt ashamed and did not go home. After your divorce, you wandered around and eventually froze to death under the street lamps of an unknown street.]

[Current Simulation Score: 50]

[Do you want to simulate this new life?]

Xu Yuan felt very down when the simulation ended.

Under the blessing of the green level talent [Lucky Youth], his youth was very happy. His friendly classmates and teachers gave him enough confidence.

It was also because of this that he had never seen the evil of the human heart, which was why he was easily defeated when he reached adulthood.

With the help of the [Excellent Life], he barely lived past the age of 50, but for him in this life, living was the most painful thing.

He seemed to see a happy childhood, a successful youth, but the rest of his life was gloomy and miserable.

In this life, he was supposed to be a widely praised writer, marry a well-read wife, and have a happy family, but because of the evil copyright agent’s persecution, he ended up in poverty for half of his life. In the end, he died miserably on the streets.

The copyright agent divided his entire life into two completely different parts. In the first half of his life, he was considered very successful. The key point was when he was 18 years old.

Xu Yuan knew that if he knew what he was doing and had a clear goal, then it would be very practical.

Although he had become famous too early in the parallel world, and because of the pride of the literati and the pressure of reality, he was willing to degenerate his entire life and was forever trapped in the heart of a sinister person.

However, he had already experienced the cruel beating of society in the main world. He was no longer a flower in a greenhouse, so this little setback was really not enough.

On the contrary, Xu Yuan would allow him to have superb writing skills and a known path in life!

Xu Yuan was clear. If he wanted to obtain something, he had to take the initiative to attack.

This was the last chance given by the Beginner’s Gift Pack. He could not always focus on the rewards given by the system. Instead, he had to create his first bucket of gold and complete the initial accumulation of capital!

Xu Yuan secretly cheered himself on. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, decisively pressing the [Yes] button!

[Sleep begins, a new journey in life officially begins!]

The system reminded him as if it was just a formality. There was no time for Xu Yuan to prepare at all. He was already in the conscious world, so his physical body in real life would definitely be lying on his desk and dozing off this time.

Xu Yuan did not give him time to care about his cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra. He did not know how long he would sleep after experiencing life. He did not know if he would sleep until his colleagues came to work in the morning. When they saw that he was unconscious, they would send his body directly to the hospital.

Without waiting for him to think, the black color of the conscious world gradually turned gray. Suddenly, countless slides appeared in the void, surrounding the side of Xu Yuan. They were full of happy lives in parallel worlds.

He was born into an ordinary but harmonious family.

In kindergarten, the gentle teacher always praised him for Xu Yuan. Every day after school, he would be rewarded with a small red flower, which caused the children to be envious.

In primary and junior high school, his grades in Xu Yuan were excellent. His classmates all regarded him as the object of their longings and rushed to read his composition. Xu Yuan also received a lot of encouragement because of this.

After going to college, Xu Yuan not only earned enough for four years of tuition, but also paid the mortgage to buy a house, and moved to a big city with his parents. It was the true pride of his parents.

The happiness of Xu Yuan in a parallel world was almost always brought about by literature. Before signing the contract, Xu Yuan even felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

“Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!”

Xu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. The cream cake burned with “18” shaped candles. Around the big round table, there was a circle of laughing people clapping and singing birthday songs.

At this time, a gentle-looking middle-aged woman walked over and put on Xu Yuan’s birthday hat. She laughed and congratulated, “Xu Yuan, happy 18th birthday!”

Xu Yuan inherited the memories of the parallel world and recognized that she was his mother in this parallel world. And these people in front of him were his classmates, friends, and teachers.

They were all gathered together to celebrate his birthday.

He was not so outstanding in the main world, nor was he so popular. His parents were busy doing part-time jobs and often forgot his birthdays. Xu Yuan would just buy a bag of instant noodles and two sausages and made do with it.

Suddenly seeing this scene, Xu Yuan’s eyes could not help but feel moved.

He wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said emotionally, “Thank you, thank you.”

“Xu Yuan, hurry up and blow out the candles!” his father beside him said.

“Huff.”

Xu Yuan puffed up his mouth and blew out the candles on the cake.

Amidst the applause and blessings, the lights in the room lit up.

Xu Yuan was surrounded by so many people for the first time. He scratched his head in embarrassment. “Thank you for attending my eighteenth birthday…”

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Yuan suddenly choked.

18 years old… wasn’t that the year he was cheated by the copyright agent? Why was the timing to experience this new life so subtle?

Xu Yuan said inwardly, “I hope everything is still in time, otherwise it would be equivalent to crossing the tribulation.”

Thinking that if he didn’t succeed this time, his fierce wife and cuckold would be waiting for him later, Xu Yuan had butterflies in his stomach.

“Xu Yuan, what did you wish for?” Mrs. Xu asked with a smile.

“I…” he stuttered and made up a wish at random. “I hope that my book will sell well and earn a lot of money to buy you a house.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu could not stop smiling. Her heart was blooming under the bright sunlight.

“Wow, my Xu Yuan is so mature. I believe that your wish will come true. After all, you have Mr. Lei’s help.”

“Wait, who are you talking about?” Xu Yuan’s mind went blank.

Mrs. Xu did not see her son’s cold expression. She turned to look at the fat man in the guests seat and said, “It’s Mr. Lei Yong. He is now your copyright agent. With him helping you, I can be rest assured!”
