After I Transmigrated into a Book, I Took the Capital by Storm with Absurd Tasks

Su Chiyin is transported into the body of a young lady from the Censor's residence. From the start, she's ambushed and sent tumbling down a cliff, where she ends up rubbing herself against a handsome man. When she wakes, she's cursed with a hellishly unlucky constitution: a koi fish slaps her in the face, she trips over a dog leash, and even a sip of water makes her choke and roll her eyes back.

Just when she's about to despair, the System comes online: [Beginner mission: earn 100 taels in 24 hours. Fail, and your bad luck doubles.]

Chewing on a sugar figurine, Su Chiyin curses, “Why not just tell me to rob the treasury?”

To stay alive, she smears ash on her face, squats down like a fortune-telling mystic, clears her throat, and pretends to read a woman's fortune by pinching her fingers. “Madam, your brow is dark. Something must be troubling you at home. Haven't your meals tasted bland lately? Are you sleeping poorly? Do you keep getting into arguments with someone?”

The older woman stares wide-eyed. “How did you know? My husband argues with me every day!”

“Ah, that's a clash of household energies,” Su Chiyin says, making things up with a straight face. “Go home and make him a bowl of sweet soup. Say less and smile more, and you'll see results in three days.” Isn't that the go-to fix for a modern couple's cold war?

System missions drop at random. One moment she's told to cook good food to win people over; the next, she might have to tame a Ferghana horse.

Su Chiyin: “System, are you crazy?”

[Complete missions to earn rewards!]

As she completes mission after mission, Su Chiyin gradually finds herself growing closer to Xiao Zhiheng.

What kind of story will unfold between them...
