Selling Green Milk Tea for the Forever Alone in a Burial Pit

Blurb, Version 1:

Huaiyu transmigrates and gets bound to a milk tea System. To return home, she has to sell 100 cups of milk tea bearing the ancestors' endorsement.

The place where she has to sell milk tea is a sacrificial pit.

Huaiyu: ?

Now that's a disaster of a start.

She only went backpacking and exploring with her friends after finishing the college entrance exams. Surely she doesn't deserve this?

No, seriously, who would want milk tea mixed with cremated ashes and tapioca pearls? You'd have to be out of your mind!

[Ding-dong!]

[You have a new “Are You Buried Yet?” order. Please process it promptly.]

Customer's order: Single King's Green Milk Tea

Note: No milk cap, half sugar, crushed ice

Huaiyu: ?

Someone actually placed an order?

Blurb, Version 2:

Night fell, and someone lit a candle.

The people imprisoned in the eerie underground palace were human sacrifices from ten days in the future. Transmigrating into a slave society where the blood of living people is used for sacrifices was hardly something to celebrate. The underground gate came down, and the burial offerings locked inside were all girls aged sixteen or seventeen, staring at everything before them in fear.

Three people set down their lamps and sat down.

They began introducing themselves.

Zaoxue: “I come from a feudal dynasty three hundred years in the future.”

Huaiyu: “I come from the modern new century, a thousand years in the future.”

Siyue: “Oh.”

Zaoxue: “I was a tutor to the eldest princess, teaching young ladies to read and write.”

Huaiyu: “I'm an explorer.”

Siyue: “Oh.”

Zaoxue: “The eldest princess wants to seize the throne. I heard that the empress had an army hidden away before she died, so the princess sent me to find the empress's tomb.”

Huaiyu: “I'm shallow. I just heard there was treasure and came looking for it.”

Siyue: “Mm.”

As fellow transmigrators, the two of them chatted back and forth. Noticing that the woman sitting to the side hadn't said a word, Huaiyu asked, “Aren't you going to introduce yourself? You've only said ‘oh’ and ‘mm.’ Is there nothing you want to say?”

Siyue: “You two have been messing around inside my tomb, from one end to the other, for more than half a year. What do you think I have to say, hmm?”

① The three protagonists: Huaiyu is the thread, Zaoxue is the needle that guides it, and Siyue is the one who threads the needle.

② The three protagonists represent the slave era, the feudal era, and the new era.

③ The milk tea is the story's ensemble cast, told from multiple POVs.

④ An alternate history, and the beginning of my own worldbuilding.

⑤ There are three male leads, each in a one-on-one relationship with Siyue at a different stage. Male leads may die, and a new one will take his place after their death.

⑥ The other two female protagonists won't be paired off. The answer is simply that they don't think much of the men.
