Coasting Through Life in a Period Novel

A retired big shot's leisurely diary: family gossip, social niceties, and juicy drama everywhere.

Ye Yu returned from the apocalypse to the courtyard compounds in the alleys of Beijing. There are no natural disasters or strange beasts here. The sky is blue, the water is green, and the air is fresh.

Mud-brick houses, fences, and the scent of thatched roofs; busy harvesting twice a year, storing grain, and hunting. Sizzle meat in a wok, render oil, boil syrup; stew meat and soup with vinegar, salt, sauces, and honey.

What problem can't be solved by a serving of braised pork?

None? Then bring me a hundred more!

Ye Yu secretly wiped away a tear of emotion at the corner of her mouth. "Hooray!"

An ensemble cast in a bygone era. The career storylines revolve around food, farming, and a martial arts school. While the powerhouse heroine goes about eating, drinking, and sleeping, she inadvertently raises the combat ability of all humanity, especially young women, and brings positive, life-affirming change to herself and the world around her.

Reader's Guide:

1. The heroine is a food-loving slacker. This is a feel-good power fantasy with no angst.

One-line summary:

From a post-90s woman to a hot mom in the nineties.

Ye Xiaoyu is a post-90s office worker who's still single and has yet to settle down. After working hard for over twenty years, she finally saved enough to buy a rundown old apartment in Beijing. She taught herself how to renovate it, and just as the place was looking brand new, she met up with her girlfriends for drinks and a reunion. That's when she transmigrated into a book.
