[A prince who reads too much into things x a companion focused entirely on her career]

Shen Ming has three secrets:

One, she's a woman.

Two, she's the daughter of a disgraced official.

Three...

To clear her father's name, she disguises herself as a man, enters the Eastern Palace as the Crown Prince's companion, and tries hard to get on his good side so she can use his influence to investigate the case. But she discovers that the Crown Prince's gaze is growing more and more complicated...

Until one day, the usually refined and courteous Crown Prince stands before her as if he's reached a momentous decision. "I accept your feelings."

Shen Ming looks down to check her masculine attire.

Shen Ming is shocked: What feelings?

Shen Ming is distraught: The Crown Prince likes men?!

Crown Prince Li Cong is hailed by the court and the people as the perfect heir.

After observing her for a while, Li Cong suddenly understands: his young companion is in love with him.

Everyday Moments

Li Cong: Your parents must be arranging a marriage for you, right?

Shen Ming: I'm still young. There's no rush.

Li Cong thinks to himself: An excuse.

Blurb for the new novel

"The Fake Heiress Only Wants to Make Money Running a Shop"

Wen Ying transmigrates into the body of a fake heiress in a marquis's household, just as her true identity is exposed.

The original owner threw a tantrum and refused to leave, working herself to death.

But Wen Ying leaves the marquis's household without looking back,

returning to the home where her birth parents have died, leaving only her younger brother and sister and a run-down eatery.

Some people pity her for losing her life of luxury, while others wait to see her make a fool of herself.

But Wen Ying, part-time food influencer and eldest child since she was young, knows exactly what's what:

The old madam favors boys over girls, her scumbag father dotes on his concubine, and the marquis's household is full of restrictions. How could any of that compare to being her own boss and making money running a shop?

She sets up a stall, fixes up the old shop, and cooks delicious food. The "Wen Xiang Lai" eatery gradually makes a name for itself in Bianjing.

Her once timid, quiet younger siblings grow plump on Wen Ying's cooking, and become the envy of all the children in the neighborhood.

Wen Ying, once the fake heiress everyone gossiped about behind her back, becomes Shopkeeper Wen, admired by all.

The people who once waited to laugh at her now show up every day, eager to do business with her and build connections.

*

Xu Xing is forced to run an errand at the marquis's household, where he grows curious about the fake heiress who has fallen from her lofty position.

Where does she get the confidence

that she'll definitely have a better life than she did in the marquis's household?

Then he tastes the food made by this young lady Wen and immediately agrees wholeheartedly:

One day, she'll trample that dilapidated marquis's household underfoot!

Later, everyone calls him shameless.

He took advantage of Lady Wen's humble beginnings to court her day after day and win her over early.

Xu Xing reflects on it for a moment, then forgives himself.

After all, who wouldn't fight tooth and nail to be the first to try the food Lady Wen makes?

It would be even better if he could bring the all-capable Lady Wen home as his wife!

*

Wen Ying's life after she transmigrates goes fairly smoothly. The few bumps along the way are mostly connected to that young nobleman, Xu Xing.

The day she leaves the marquis's household.

Xu Xing: Is this rundown place really better than the marquis's household?

She asks him to try a new dish.

Xu Xing: Did you make this just for me, or is everyone else getting some too?

He catches her meeting another man with marriage in mind.

Xu Xing: If I'd known he was coming, I wouldn't have come.

Wen Ying: ...
