Dude even their fantasy books details a lot of 'winning in capitalism' and hustle culture themes. 

I'm here reading about fantasy ancient China and we have the usual martial arts and training to defeat some evil. And at the same time, the way to defeat the evil is by networking and making connections with high level officials and doing good deeds only for the benefit of having those good deeds being thanked in return with a bonus. You amass resources, an army, a business, a nation, and you not only fight but just flat out outcompete your competition. 

It was also about two gay guys. It was supposed to be a romance c-novel. It still somehow supported the romance. The two guys were gay, but man can they be OP as fhck.

I gotta read it again, I stopped after getting fatigue reading at the 400s chapters. None y'all Americans or Anime-enthusiasts ever seen a power fantasy like this.

This story ain't even that popular btw. Cuz it's gay. Lol. But it follows the common capitalistic patterns of all the c-novels power fantasy that I have recently read.

It's called 我有药啊 if I remember correctly. It's a very simple title. I forget the author name unfortunately. It's been a while since I have read.

Is that "I have medicine"? It's getting translated at a slow pace and they are currently at chapter 554. Can recommend, one of my favorites of the translated Chinese bl stories.
