Beware of Chicken 5
Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body.
But I think he’d like how things are turning out.
So much happened last year! The battle at the Dueling Peaks, the revelation at the Azure Hills, and the calamity that damaged them. But most important? I became a father. It’s hard and stressful at times, but I’ve got an entire family for support. And yes, some of its members have feathers or fur. (Big D is very good at lullabies.)
Anyway, spring awaits, and I find myself optimistic. I wish for a long, peaceful year for everyone. Even Gramps, the cultivator who took Rou in after his parents died. He cared enough to write me a letter so I hope my return message finds him well.
Though I’m probably never going to see him again. After all, Rou was just a random kid he picked up on a whim. He can’t be that interested in me . . . Right?

Cozy Pairings

Brown Sugar Cinnamon is a warm, bakery-inspired fragrance that wraps you in the comforting sweetness of brown sugar and melted butter, gently spiced with cinnamon. Rich and inviting, this scent evokes the feeling of something freshly baked lingering in the air, soft and golden with just a touch of indulgence. Smooth and well balanced, it brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to any space, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and comforting.
Why we chose this: Jin Rou died and was reborn into a fantasy world with the strength of ten men, and immediately decided to use it for farming. Now he has a Spirit Beast rooster, a wife, a talking pig, a deeply philosophical ox, and the most contented life in the Azure Hills. Brown Sugar Cinnamon is the candle for every book in this series, warm and golden and alive with the smell of a harvest brought in with genuine satisfaction, the scent of a life made small on purpose and enormously rich as a result. Light this candle and let the sweetness fill the room like a farmhouse kitchen at the end of a long growing season, where the rice is in and the animals are fed and everything is exactly as it should be.
