I Became the Female Lead's Lucky Charm in an Ancient Novel

Ning Qingqing, a woman in the apocalypse, had plant-based powers, but she could only control low-level plants. She could purify them to make them taste better, a power utterly useless in the apocalypse.

Ning Qingqing survived for five years in the apocalypse, only to finally die in the jaws of a zombie.

When she was born again, Ning Qingqing bypassed the underworld and drank no Meng Po's Soup. She went straight into the body of a seven-year-old girl in ancient times.

The little girl was also called Ning Qingqing, and she had another identity: the doomed villainess in the novel The Ancient Era's Little Lucky Star.

As the heroine's neighbor, Ning Qingqing had a natural advantage. As long as she befriended the lucky heroine, her future would be smooth sailing.

Unfortunately, the original Ning Qingqing didn't see it that way. Because she was inferior to the heroine in every respect, she grew jealous and kept picking fights with her, from snide remarks to drugging her in an attempt to have beggars violate her.

The villainess's fate was naturally miserable. Disfigured and violated, she suffered one misfortune after another and died far from home at a young age.

After transmigrating, Ning Qingqing remembered the original story and decided she would never, ever oppose the heroine.

Come on, what could be better than a world without zombies? And what could be better than a world full of natural delicacies? She could reach the pinnacle of life through her own efforts. She'd have to be an idiot to envy the heroine.

Beauty-enhancing peach blossom cakes, tangy plum juice that made your mouth water, golden, fragrant braised pig trotters, flaky pastries bursting with salted egg yolk...

One delicious dish after another came from Ning Qingqing's hands. The heroine, who had once found her a little annoying...

Wow! Sister Qingqing's cooking is so good! It makes my mouth water. I want to be friends with her and eat delicious food every day.

Ning Qingqing smiled sweetly, like a fox pretending to be harmless. "No problem! As long as you help me have a little better luck, you can eat anything you want."

The native heroine drooled. "No problem. You can even have me, Sister Qingqing."

The male lead, Yu Shaoxuan: ...My heart aches. My wife is too popular. I have to fight men for her, and now I have to fight women too. This is so hard. (Flips table.)

Note: This is a fictional setting, with awful people and delicious food. The heroine and I won't become enemies. If that's not your thing, don't read.

Theme: Work hard for yourself, and you'll have both milk and bread.
