[Synopsis]

Mo Suining, devoted to scientific research, accidentally transmigrates from a laboratory fire into another fire.

After a narrow escape, she discovers she has transmigrated to ancient times!

There is no electricity in ancient times!

How can anyone do research without it?!

Mo Suining turns around and rushes back into the fire.

The attempt to return fails.

But she still has to get back!

Mo Suining rolls up her sleeves and starts from scratch, lighting up the branches of the technology tree one by one.

A time machine isn't just a dream!

But...

She can't seem to manage it all by herself.

Mo Suining turns her attention to the women in her household.

This porridge... It takes medicinal properties into account while balancing the aroma and color. You've got a knack for chemistry. Don't waste it.

The concubine, forced to memorize the periodic table, wished she could go back in time and slap her former self.

Why had she ever tried to poison someone?

This mechanism... The interlocking gears are ingenious. It runs smoothly and even accounts for the balance of forces. You have a marvelous talent for mechanics. What a waste to spend all day picking flowers and chasing butterflies.

The little girl turned green at the sight of the mountain of exercises.

She begged through tears, "Big Sister, I only wanted to play with you. I never meant to frame you! I swear!"

One day, when her worthless father finally returned home from his cozy retreat,

"My lord! I'm just about to finish my work. Why don't you visit one of the other sisters?"

Her father's face turned green.

The other wives and concubines?

In one room, green liquid was bubbling away. In another, iron needles and stones covered the floor. In yet another, colorful smoke filled the air...

When he learned that his eldest daughter, Mo Suining, had turned the household upside down, her father flew into a rage and prepared to punish her according to the family rules.

But a sudden urgent letter arrived from the capital: Old Master Mo wanted Mo Suining to choose people and bring them to the capital.

Her father, who had tried so hard to have sons so he could go to the capital, only to end up with a string of daughters: What?!

Gu Qingcheng, a ruthless man, had always looked down on weak, pale-faced scholars.

Who could have guessed!

Later, he would not only "learn" to pant after every three steps and collapse after every five, but would also secretly study how to apply makeup.

All because!

To Mo Suining, this woman, only strange contraptions and beautiful people mattered.

At most, she might spare a little pity for the weak.

After he had finally managed to earn a place in Mo Suining's heart,

that woman announced she was leaving this world with the Time Chicken.

Without him.

Gu Qingcheng was furious.

What chicken could possibly be more important than him?

He was going to slaughter every last chicken!

Coming soon: My Husband Became Chief Grand Secretary Because I Craved Ginger Milk Pudding

[Synopsis]

Li Yaohao worked hard and studied diligently for most of his life. He went from an ordinary farmer's son to a top scholar who achieved the highest honors in all six imperial examinations, and then to a Chief Grand Secretary who handled affairs with ease. His remarkable life was praised by all and became a model for countless students of the Great Jing Dynasty.

But when someone asked what had driven him to work so tirelessly, day and night, Li Yaohao replied with a pained look, "It was all because my wife loves ginger milk pudding."

"Huh?"

"Ginger milk pudding needs ginger and milk."

"And?"

"Ginger is a specialty of Wo Province."

The visitor started in alarm, breaking into a cold sweat as he remembered that Wo Province had once been the Kingdom of Wo. It was only after Chief Grand Secretary Li, then the governor of Yuhai Province, led the troops to conquer and subdue it that the region became part of the Great Jing's territory.

"And... the milk?"

"Milk comes from dairy cows," Li Yaohao replied, enunciating every word.

"Um... and then?"

Li Yaohao gave the visitor a disdainful look and walked away.

The man stood frozen for a long while before realizing that the first thing Chief Grand Secretary Li had done after taking office was issue the Detailed Regulations on Cattle Farming.

The most important clause divided cattle according to breed, permitting the free slaughter and trade of beef and dairy cows.

Dairy cows... dairy cows...

The largest dairy farm in the Great Jing seemed to be one of the properties owned by the Chief Grand Secretary's wife.

Muttering to himself, the visitor couldn't help sighing, "No wonder the woman behind the Chief Grand Secretary has such refined tastes."
