Soul Guide

Lin Xiaoxiao's birth mother died when she was young, and her father raised her in the countryside, where she endured the scorn of others. When she finally returned to the capital, she thought she would enjoy a better life, but she was still subjected to ridicule.

When she heard that the Emperor had ordered the selection of a Crown Princess, Lin Xiaoxiao resolved to marry into the most prominent family in the capital and become the Crown Princess.

She worked diligently every day and never slacked off. Yet despite all her hard work, she finally discovered that her abilities were only average. Life wasn't a storybook, after all. How could a few months of effort compare with the years of cultivation enjoyed by noble young ladies?

During the chess examination, Lin Xiaoxiao gave it her all, but her skill was no match for the girl across from her.

Just as she was about to lose, she suddenly heard a voice behind her say, "If you place your piece there, you'll lose for sure."

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around, but saw no one. The people around her looked as calm as ever.

Could her sincerity have moved the heavens, and a god finally appeared to help her?

But her earnestness hadn't moved a god. Instead, it had attracted a wandering ghost.

The ghost brazenly floated before her. "I wish to make a deal with you. Help me find my body, and I will help you become Crown Princess."

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't believe a ghost could have that kind of power.

The ghost spoke again in a hollow voice. "I am Zhao Hanchan, Prince Guangping. With my help, I guarantee you'll marry into a prominent family."

Zhao Hanchan? The god of slaughter rumored to have plotted to murder his brother and usurp the throne, ruthless and merciless?

Lin Xiaoxiao thought that if such a fearsome man wanted to make a deal with her, then of course she should... accept! What could be more important than becoming Crown Princess?

Preorder: Open a Restaurant in the Tang Dynasty with Grandma

At her grandmother's bedside, Lin Xingran rested her head beside her. Grandma gently patted her back, eyes brimming with tears. "If there's another life, I want to live by my own choices."

Grandma had given so much to the family. Though she was the only university graduate in the village, she gave up a bright future for them, stayed home as a housewife, was ordered around by Grandpa, and belittled and ignored by her children. Only I, whom she'd raised from childhood, understood her pain.

That night, we drifted off together beneath the starlight. When we awoke, we were in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, a grandmother and granddaughter who had been cast out of their home with not a penny to their names.

Perhaps Heaven had taken pity on Grandma and given her a second chance.

Though we were poor, Grandma was happy. This time, the two of us would join forces and make something of ourselves in the Tang Dynasty!

But we had no money or connections, so all we could do was work as hired help at a restaurant.

Then one day, Ning Sichen, a notorious young wastrel in the capital, came to the restaurant and demanded sesame flatbread. The restaurant's many chefs tried every trick they knew, but none could satisfy him.

Lin Xingran, who had been sweeping in a corner, walked firmly up to Ning Sichen. "It's only sesame flatbread! My grandmother can definitely make it!"
