Catch That Demon Slayer Corps Cook

This story is expected to go premium on June 3. Three chapters will be released right on schedule after that!

[Complete]

The Demon Slayer Corps all had the same big question: Why did Tianhai Qihui get to attend the Hashira meetings twice every year, and discover something new each time?

A: It must be because the Master is too kind! She just has to nag him a little and he agrees!

B: It must be because Miss Shinobu spoke up for her! They're so close, after all. Last time I went to the Butterfly Mansion, I saw them coming back from a shopping trip together!

C: It must be because the Stone Hashira invited her! She's his disciple, after all! She's close to the Master, so we can't compete!

Qihui: ...You might not believe me, but I just went there to cook.

The pairing is tentatively with Big Brother Rengoku. The whole cast will be brought back to life, and the heroine will grow stronger little by little. If you like it, please bookmark this story and follow the author. Mwah!

Coming next: Transmigrating into an Otome Game to Win Over the Grand Tutor

Shen Li was a longtime top spender in the mobile otome game Records of Floating Clouds. The main story had gone so long without an update that she was about to quit for good, but when she woke up one day, she found that she had transmigrated into the game.

Good news: She had the game's System with her.

Bad news: Apart from the inventory and storage, she had nothing else.

Word spread that the Shen family had gained a country-born orphan girl, and everyone in the capital thought they could push her around. Some families at odds with the Shens even sent invitations overnight, eager to have her over.

A young lady: You've never seen such a fine hairpin, have you? The artisans at Feifan Pavilion can make fewer than five in half a year!

Shen Li: Isn't this the item for winning over the top courtesan and getting intel? I only have... um, around two hundred thousand of them in my inventory!

Someone else mocked her as a country bumpkin with money but no taste. "You've never seen Han Xu's Hundred Beauties in Bloom? Let's have Miss Shen take a look today."

Shen Li: Well, this one is a forgery.

The others immediately bristled. "If you don't understand it, don't slander it. What an arrogant thing to say!"

Shen Li looked innocent. "The item details spell it out clearly. This painting was forged back in the previous dynasty. So who's the one with poor eyesight?"

As an executive at a major game development company, Shen Li thought she saw through all fictional characters. They were nothing but strings of code. No matter how charming or good-looking they were, they weren't real.

Then she fell head over heels for Grand Tutor Qiao Pei from Records of Floating Clouds.

Qiao Pei was cold on the outside but warm-hearted, had a tragic past and a handsome, refined appearance, and harbored great ambitions. That was why he was always so restrained when it came to love. Little did he know that Shen Li, on the other side of the screen, was screaming at him: "Qiao Pei, if you still don't make a move, are you even a man?!"

After transmigrating, Shen Li naturally wanted to get home as soon as possible, but she also wanted to see Grand Tutor Qiao in person.

At last, others found a reason to criticize her, saying that the country girl from the Shen family had no manners. How could someone like her dare to set her sights on a man as elegant as Grand Tutor Qiao?

Grand Tutor Qiao was as noble as jade, with impeccable character. Shen Li was petty and always sucking up to people. When General Zhou Cong returned to the capital from the frontier last time, hadn't she been quick to invite him for drinks and dinner? When Young Master Ji came of age, she had rushed to bring him a gift, too.

There was no way Grand Tutor Qiao would fall for a shameless lackey like her, who only chased after people for what she could gain!

A busybody declared with absolute certainty: "Just wait and see. One day, Lord Qiao will humiliate Shen Li in public, and she'll never dare pester him again!"

Late at night, at the Qiao residence.

The man, lying on the bed fully dressed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Qiao Pei couldn't sleep. Alone, he glared at the moon and ground his teeth.

Shen Li, Shen Li had actually called Zhou Cong by his name!

She had never called him that!

Shen Li x Qiao Pei. No other pairings will be considered. Other otome-game characters will have either one-sided feelings for the heroine or no romantic feelings at all.

Theme: Be independent and strong, and protect the people who matter
