A Sweet Shop in the Depths of the Nebula

Chu Xin transmigrates into a sci-fi Mary Sue novel. She's gorgeous and has a perfect figure. But she's not the heroine. She's the heroine's scheming best friend, always looking to climb the social ladder. While everyone else is focused on the heroine, who comes from a poor family and works hard to make something of herself, Chu Xin only has eyes for the fennel and cardamom growing wildly everywhere, and all that fresh milk being casually thrown away. Cookies, strawberry mousse, tiramisu... There's no bad mood a dessert can't fix. And if one won't do, have two! As the sole heir to a major conglomerate, Young Master Lu is perfectly happy with everything in his life, except for the fiancée matched to him by a genetic compatibility test. He can't stand her. He secretly tears up the test results. Even if he has to stay single his whole life, he won't marry that vain woman. Later... Chu Xin: Sorry, today's desserts are all sold out. Come back early tomorrow. The young master, after waiting in line for three hours: ...She's doing this on purpose! Here's what you'll find in this story: 1. All kinds of desserts, traditional and inventive, including cakes, chocolate, and ice cream. 2. What it's like to run a dessert shop. 3. The chemistry between a man and a woman as they go from disliking each other to falling in love. The male lead is a hot-tempered, childish young master. He'll eat his words, get his comeuppance, and chase after his wife, bringing the sweetness. The female lead is a gentle, clever sweetheart, focused on running her business and making money, bringing the satisfaction. A career-focused wish-fulfillment story. The heroine isn't all-powerful. It's a campus food-and-romance slice-of-life story dressed up in a sci-fi setting. The setting takes inspiration from the anime Cowboy Bebop. Simply put, "Humanity can travel through space, but everything else is just like Earth." * New novel: "The Villain Has Bad Intentions Toward Me" is currently being serialized: Ji Xinyan transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder character who dies as soon as she appears, the sort without a single line of dialogue. When she wakes, she's holding a weapon, covered in blood, and standing in the middle of a crime scene. Before she can react, a group of men in black cloaks surround her. The man at their head raises an eyebrow, slowly circles her, and asks with a smile, "Did you kill all these people?" Ji Xinyan recognizes him at once. He's the book's major villain, the ruthless and powerful official who constantly opposes the male lead and drives him to the brink. With her life on the line, she decides to put her acting skills to the test and turn herself from a suspect into the sole witness. Her knees buckle, and tears pour down her face. "My lord, you've finally arrived... Please see that justice is done for my master and mistress..." Han Li is a shrewd, ruthless, and powerful official, sent from the capital by imperial decree to investigate a case. Wherever he goes, people are terrified. One day, he picks up a young girl on the road, and from then on, he never lacks for flattery. "My lord, I have a lantern. Let me light your way." "My lord, you work day and night to solve the case. This commoner will cooperate fully." "My lord, these chestnuts just came out of the pot and they're still hot. I'll taste them for you first." "Han Li, why are you here? Were you worried about me?" "Han Li, how do you wear this hairpin? Put it on for me." Han Li looks up at the sky and sighs. She doesn't even call him "my lord" anymore... What can he do? Nothing. He spoiled her, so now he has to put up with her. * My upcoming novels: "Two Demons Pick a Fight, and They Choose My House as the Venue": I just want to be a small business owner, but somehow I end up as the Big Boss.
