Description
Li Xiangfu returned after traveling through the Nuzun Kingdom! Life’s pressures molded him into a polymath, excelling in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting during his years of adventure. His embroidery and culinary skills surpassed all, and he assumed the role of the household manager. The ambitious young master of the Li family, fixated on seizing the family fortune, faced exile abroad. Upon his return several years later, everyone anticipated his mischief. However, instead of chaos, they witnessed him playing the guqin in the morning, engaging in double-sided embroidery at noon, and preparing soup after washing his hands in the evening. Li Xiangfu mused, “People resemble pale chrysanthemums, tranquil and content, devoid of desires. Let’s not disrupt this tranquility.” In subsequent events: The traditional and stern eldest young master of the Li family: “…Little brother, go and have fun in a club.” The composed and reserved second young master of the Li family: “…Little brother, go fall in love.” Mr. Li, wishing for greater resilience: “…Son, just be wild.” One day, the head of the Qin family proposed a marital alliance. Mr. Li responded, “I have one daughter and must consult her wishes first.” Qin Jin interjected, “No, I am interested in your younger son.” Mr. Li contemplated, “…Then we must prioritize those seeking a blind date with him this year. You’re the twenty-ninth.” “…”

My Thoughts on Worldly Affairs and Sand Sculpture
"Worldly Affairs and Sand Sculpture" is... well, it's certainly something! This novel throws a lot at you right from the start: transmigration, amnesia, a childcare system, and a healthy dose of comedy. It's a wild ride, and while I found myself enjoying parts of it, I also stumbled on some issues that kept me from fully embracing the story.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. The idea of a protagonist returning from a world where gender roles are reversed, armed with skills considered traditionally feminine, sounded like a recipe for some hilarious and insightful moments. The mystery surrounding his past and the introduction of the ML also had me hooked. However, the execution felt a bit clunky early on. The story jumps around quite a bit, and the character introductions felt rushed, leaving me a little disoriented.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely a strong point. The novel doesn't take itself too seriously, and the comedic interactions between the MC, his family, and even the system (who becomes a six-year-old!) are genuinely funny. I also appreciated the unique skill set the MC brings back from his transmigration. Watching him use these skills in unexpected ways provided plenty of entertainment. Many readers enjoyed the comedic approach to resolving conflicts and the lighthearted tone throughout the story. The antagonists are often defeated in humorous ways, so angst is minimal.
Areas of Concern
One of my main issues was the plot's coherence. Some readers have pointed out plot holes and inconsistencies in character behavior, particularly regarding the MC's interactions with the ML. The MC's sudden shifts in attitude toward the ML, despite initial wariness, felt jarring and undermined his character's intelligence. Additionally, the translation can be a bit rough, which sometimes makes it hard to follow the story and understand the nuances of the characters' motivations. While I appreciate the translator's effort, the translation quality did impact my overall enjoyment.
Final Verdict
"Worldly Affairs and Sand Sculpture" is a fun, lighthearted read if you're looking for something that doesn't take itself too seriously. The humor and unique premise are definitely its strengths. However, be prepared for some plot inconsistencies and a less-than-perfect translation. If you can overlook these flaws and embrace the absurdity, you might find yourself enjoying this quirky novel. For me, it's a 3.5/5 – entertaining but flawed.
