Synopsis:

Lu Rong, a bachelor otaku, took the Taobao System and was reborn into a desolate second generation in another world.

The original gave a huge betrothal gift, but was tricked by his in-laws.

When the second generation learned that his partner had changed from his beloved beauty to a man, he was furious.

Lu Rong, who was reborn, looked at the handsome guy in front of him, and was secretly delighted: He was very satisfied with this marriage.

Impressions: From the author of Transmigrating to the Ancient Times with Lu's Convenience among others.

This is also a gong MC, MC is a rich orphan in modern times, since he is a shut-in, his hobbies is shopping in  Taobao. He transmigrates into interstellar era, but this era isn't really that prosperous. Because of radiation, plants/fruits etc are rare and hard to grow. Anyways, the original was also a rich orphan but he has many bad friends. After he made a fortune through stone gambling, he used it as betrothal gift, but the girl's parents (and the girl herself) are not good people. In the last minute, they replaced the 'bride' with the family's unwanted youngest son and then fled to a different city.

MC is gay so he doesn't mind this happy accident. He is also very satisfied with his wife/shou. In the interstellar, genes are very important. Shou is an E-Rank, while the original is C-Rank so shou only felt it was natural that he would be disliked. MC slowly changes that by treating him as an equal (he changed their marriage to equal marriage, before it was more like master-servant), doting on him etc. Like this author's other works, shou discovers early that MC is not the original. MC also comes clean of his origins and his golden finger. They acquire some aphrodisiacs from Taobao and sells it for a high price in the interstellar XD XD XD (Lol, the author like this plot of getting rich by selling aphrodisiacs). They move to a different city and starts to live a better life. MC and shou attends school and shou's talent is discovered.

Some family plots, where shou's family tries to get in touch with them to get some benefit. They also learned that shou is adopted and should be an illegitimate son of a big family cos when he was a baby he was given a potion to disguise his gene ranking. After shou gets pregnant, the potion lost some of its effect and his gene ranking slowly starts to rise. Meanwhile, MC is making money through Taobao and some business here. He accepts a bunch of former soldiers as his workers and also a genius pharmacist who is hiding from a bigshot who plagiarized his Master's work. Through gratitude and (mostly) good food, he slowly conquers this people to be loyal to him.

Laters, there was a war and their city was affected, MC and family moved away and MC's strong private army is revealed. They move to a different area but their little bun was plotted against by the wife of shou's biological dad. They had to go to a different world to get him some medicine. They go to a beastman world and lived there for two years (some side CPs are formed). Afterwards, they transmigrate to the modern world, MC was able to enjoy revenge to the girl who caused him to be a shut-in and also to his relatives. They become famous after the pharmacist reveals his medical skills and the beastmen reveals their strength. They need to earn money to buy tickets to return to the Interstellar world so they took big jobs that paid handsomely, they became famous in the upper circle and of course, MC too, because he is 'the Boss'. 

Laters, they return to interstellar but the Zerg is invading, the beastmen MC brought is strong, his workers are former soldiers, the pharmacist created a potion to improve the fighters constitution so they become famous again. Laters, MC can go back and forth between modern and interstellar world so he became a rich businessman.

Hmm... this started out good for me but my interest slowly fizzed out. The Taobao System is good, and the way to make money was clever but later, it was TOO CONVENIENT. I was still okay when they went to the beastman world (makes me want to read a Beastman BL!) but after they went to the modern world, I didn't like it as much. The three little buns (one from beastman, one bun from MC & shou, one from the ex-soldier group) are all NOT CUTE, three naughty little ghosts who loves MONEY, and quite spoiled. And it just felt like MC and three little kiddos where just throwing money around, and most of this money was not even earned by them but by the pharmacist/doctor and the bodyguard beastmen. After they return, there's the Zerg, and again the doctor, the beastmen and soldiers made most of the contribution. Of course, MC too, cos he provides the funds, but still! It wasn't as satisfying for me. MC felt more like a spectator~~

Will look for other farming/ancient times setting BL. Not too keen on interstellar for now~~
