Transmigrating to the Late Qing? Watch Me Open a Tavern in These Turbulent Times

On How Much Trouble You Can Get into at Work Chi Yue died of a sudden heart attack during a cooking competition. She'd accepted her fate and was ready to drink Meng Po's soup, but the security system at the Bridge of Hel didn't recognize her information. After checking with her superior, Meng Po discovered that a trainee Ox-Head and Horse-Face had sent the wrong person over?! After she filed a complaint all the way up to the Department of Ghostly Human Resources, the judge told her that her body had already been cremated, so she couldn't return to life. And with the human birth rate falling, there was now a three-hundred-year wait to be reborn as a human?! Chi Yue: “...” The Ox-Head judge gave her a fake smile. “If Miss Chi can't wait, we can contact the Foreign Reincarnation Administration and expedite your place in the queue. Would you like that?” America or Switzerland didn't sound bad either~ She beamed. “Where?” “India.” “...” After guaranteeing her priority for rebirth, the judge gave Chi Yue an additional Qing-era experience pass that let her keep her memories, along with a System storage space. Before Chi Yue could react, one press of a button sent her into the body of Cui Qingying, a woman in the late Qing dynasty. A Record of Scoundrels in the Late Qing Dynasty Cui Qingying was twenty-eight, the only daughter of the Cui family's tavern in Beijing. Her father arranged her engagement to the scholar Chen Rui, then passed away. In August 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China. Six months later, her father died of illness. Before she could recover from her grief, her fiancé stole her dowry and ran off with his old flame from a brothel, leaving her behind. To protect her chastity, Cui Qingying hanged herself. And so Chi Yue transmigrated into the body of this unfortunate woman. She touched her sore neck. No big deal! Just watch me use the System storage space to open restaurants, schools, factories, and newspapers... and become a legendary businesswoman in the capital amid the chaos.
