Xu Ying transmigrated into the body of the Yongning Marquis’s third concubine-born daughter.
Before she could enjoy even one day of taking it easy, she was told that the original girl was a fake heiress and that the real heiress had already arrived at the estate.
The old madam of the household decreed that she be sent to a Buddhist temple for two years, then brought back to marry once she came of age.
Xu Ying: ???
*
The Buddhist temple Xu Ying imagined: far out in the suburbs of the capital, high in the mountains, with a climb so exhausting it could kill you halfway up.
Two years of chopping wood, hauling water, chanting sutras, and praying. They’d be sending her away in name, but really leaving her to die.
The actual royal Buddhist temple: in the bustling southern part of the city, the most popular temple in the dynasty, with crowds of worshippers and monks. There’s even a market on the first, eighth, and fifteenth of every month.
Xu Ying: I’ll sell incense to the worshippers on the first, eighth, and fifteenth, and sell to the monks on all the other days!
A little scene:
A few days later, a jade-faced young gentleman came looking for her and stopped in front of Xu Ying’s pastry stall. Xu Ying didn’t recognize him and said, “Sir, if you want to buy some, you’ll have to get in line.”
Zhao Yuanzong said quietly, “You’ve left home and now you don’t even recognize your big brother?”

Coming soon: 《The Escort Agency’s Little Chef》
Ji You transmigrated to ancient times and became the cook at a dilapidated escort agency.
The agency’s owner had run into trouble on an escort job six months ago. The people there had either left or gone their separate ways, and the agency hadn’t had a job in three months. All that remained was a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people.
The second-in-command, the oldest of them, said, “Let’s split up what we’ve got and go our separate ways.”
Ji You put her remaining skills to use and made them a farewell feast.
Red-braised pork knuckle, pork belly with preserved vegetables, lotus root and rib soup, and salt-and-pepper shrimp. After the meal, the second-in-command patted his round belly. “How about we hold off on splitting up for now?”
