I am called daydream, not because I love to dream
I am from Chaozhou, and I was called 'dreamer' since I was young.
When I was studying, my teacher said, “You should stop dreaming about those grades.”
When I was working, my boss said, “You should stop dreaming about that idea.”
When I was starting a business, my relatives said, “You should stop dreaming about that path.”
I gave myself a username, called “@白日梦老哥 ”.
It’s not because I like to dream, but because I want to make that dream a reality.
I believe in the old man; the principle he taught me is very simple: you can be poor, but you cannot resign to fate. This is also the gene ingrained in Chaozhou people.
But for a long time, I really did resign to fate.
I’ve lost money in stocks, lost in startups, borrowed money until no one in my contacts dared to answer my calls.
At family gatherings, I am the “negative example.” Adults tell children: “If you don’t study hard, you’ll end up like me.”
I just smiled.
Dreams are initiated by oneself, the path is walked by oneself, and the bitterness is also swallowed by oneself.
But there are two people who have never laughed at me.
One is my second sister, @白日梦少女 . A top student, steady as a mountain, never talks to me about grand principles, only says: “Bro, take your time.”
One is my little sister, @00后天才少女 . Sharp-tongued and soft-hearted, while scolding me “Are you stupid?”, she stuffed her piggy bank into my hands.
They are still studying, and their living expenses are tight. But they believe in me.
When the whole world didn’t believe in me, they believed in me.
Chapter One: Ten thousand yuan, is trust, and also life.
That day, my second sister walked in, holding a bank card in her hand, that was her scholarship.
My little sister followed behind, holding the pocket money she had saved for three years, crumpled and worn.
My second sister said: “Bro, this is the ten thousand yuan my sister and I pooled together. We don’t understand contracts or K-lines, but we understand you. Take it.”
My little sister said: “Bro! This is the money I prepared to buy limited edition figurines! If you lose, you have to work for me for a lifetime to pay off the debt!”
I didn’t say anything.
I held that card and a pile of cash, my hands trembling.
Ten thousand yuan. To many people, it’s nothing. But to me, it is my two sisters’ living expenses, their trust, and their wager on the future they placed on me.
At that moment, I said in my heart to the old master: Old master, do you see? These two girls trust me so much; I cannot lose.
That night, I went to Tangxi Old Master Palace.
I knelt before the old master and seriously bowed my head three times.
I said: “Old master, this ten thousand yuan is not my money; it is the lives of my two younger sisters. If you think I’m still okay, then protect me. I seek not to get rich quickly, just not to disappoint them.”
Then the old master gave me three holy grails.
Chaoshan people understand, the old master protecting the number is not about letting you win effortlessly, but allowing you to stay clear-headed and steady during the toughest times.
Chapter Two: The Contract Battlefield, the place closest to the gods and also closest to the devils.
With this ten thousand yuan, I entered the cryptocurrency circle.
100 times leverage, split account operation.
Every step feels like walking on a tightrope.
I started studying K-lines, studying volume, studying the mindset of investors. Watching the market during the day, reviewing it at night, if tired, I’d lean on the desk for a while, wake up and continue watching.
At that time, I lost twenty pounds.
But the thinnest is not the body, but the account.
The worst night, the account was down 80%.
Eight thousand yuan, turned to ashes.
I watched the numbers on the screen gradually turn red, feeling like I was nailed to the chair. My hands trembled, sweat dripped down my forehead, and my heart raced as if it would leap out of my throat.
There are two voices fighting in my head.
One said: “Cut it, if you don’t stop loss, it will go to zero.”
Another said: “Wait a little longer, the old master is watching.”
At that time, my second sister sent a message: “Bro, don’t stay up late, take care of your health.”
My little sister texted: “Bro, don’t hold on too hard; at worst, I’ll support you.”
I didn’t reply to the message.
I stared at the K-line, focusing on that increasingly low column, gritting my teeth, my hand resting on the mouse, pressing it until it turned pale.
Then, at three in the morning, the market began to move.
A large bullish candle, directly breaking through all resistance levels.
V-shaped reversal.
I took a deep breath, my fingers typed on the keyboard—close the position.
Profit: 200,000.
10,000 turns into 200,000.
I slumped in the chair, tears fell.
Not because of money. It’s because I know—the old master really protects me; I have not disappointed the trust of my two younger sisters.
At that moment, I told myself: You are not dreaming; you really can.
Chapter Three: Retreating in a rush is not cowardice, it is clarity.
Many people ask me: Why not continue rolling over? Isn’t it tempting to turn 200,000 into 2 million, then 2 million into 20 million?
I said: I am from Chaoshan, I believe in cause and effect.
The old master gave me this wave to help me stand up, not to let me float.
Speculating in cryptocurrency is risky, but life cannot always be a gamble. That ten thousand yuan of trust shouldn't just become a string of numbers; it should turn into something visible and tangible.
I want to do something that can last.
A thing that can make the old master feel “this child is worth protecting.”
A thing that could make both younger sisters say, “My brother is really amazing.”
So, with this 200,000, I started a company (Shenyue Qingxue).
Chapter Four: Shenyue Qingxue — To please the gods, not to disappoint trust.
What is the name of the company? I thought about it for a long time.
In the end, I settled on four words: Shenyue Qingxue.
“Divine” means deity.
“Yue” means divine pearl.
“Clear” means purity.
“Qing” means jade light.
Put together, it means “to please the gods.”
I am from Chaoshan, and I deeply believe in the old master. Every penny I earn is under the protection of the old master. Therefore, the business I do must also be related to the divine and must be worthy of this protection.
What I make are religious cultural relics: thangkas, amulets, ritual tools, and prayer flags.
Each item, I personally oversee, hiring reliable masters, ensuring genuine materials. No fakes, no scams, no black-hearted money.
I don’t want to make quick money; I want to build a brand that people can trust.
It was very difficult at first.
Without clients, just talk to one person at a time. Without reputation, build it one order at a time.
But I'm not in a hurry. Because I know the old master is watching me, and the two younger sisters are also watching me. I cannot let them down. Countless days and nights, I washed my face with tears, the pressure grew greater, smoking a pack after another.
Chapter Five: 350,000 a month, the birth of a genius.
From the first order, to the tenth order, to the hundredth order.
From one person, to a small team, to a stable supply chain.
Now, Shenyue Qingxue has a stable monthly income of 280,000.
Not great wealth, but enough for the two younger sisters to stop living frugally.
Last month, my little sister saw a bag she liked, hesitated for a long time and didn’t buy it. I directly transferred the money and told her: “That figurine from back then, I’ll pay you back now.”
She replied with a long string of “ah ah ah ah ah” and then sent:
“Bro, I knew you wouldn’t disappoint us. You are a genius!”
I smiled.
Genius?
I am just a Chaoshan kid, a person who has been called “dreamer” for twenty years.
I just did not give up in the hardest times.
I just believe that the old master will bless those who work hard.
Every month when payday comes, I set aside some money to offer to the old master.
Not to seek anything, just to say: Old master, look, that kid who was almost unable to hold on back then is now standing up.
The person you protected back then did not bring you shame.

Final Chapter: Daydreams are not dreams.
Many people ask me: What is your daydream, after all?
I said: I’m here to prove to everyone—
That “dreamer” who was mocked can turn dreams into reality.
That “daydreaming elder brother” who was looked down upon can let his family live well.
The gambler who almost burst in the contract battlefield can walk out and do a serious career.
The birth of a genius has never been overnight.
The birth of a genius is when everyone says you can't, and you grit your teeth and say: I can.
It’s when your account is down 80% and your hand doesn’t shake.
It’s when you earn 200,000 and don’t float, but do something more lasting.
It’s when you’ve been called “dreamer” for twenty years, and you smile while telling everyone—daydreams are not dreams.
I am very grateful to my two younger sisters; that ten thousand yuan, you bet on living expenses; I bet that I will not let you lose in this life.
“Others laugh at me for daydreaming, the old master protects me to make dreams real. What genius is there in this world? It’s just that someone believes in you, and you dare not let them down.” — Daydreaming elder brother
