A Bedchamber Maid as a Wife

Modern food blogger Ye Jiu woke up one day to discover that she had transmigrated into a book. She had become Ye Xiaojiu, a cannon-fodder supporting female character who was deceived by a phoenix man, chased after her husband all the way to the capital, only to be abandoned and eventually die a violent death on the street.

Taking in the whole situation, Ye Jiu figured: Why chase after a man? Wouldn’t it be much better to open a little restaurant in this county town and enjoy life as her own boss?

A bamboo grove banquet made her restaurant famous in the capital, and even earned her praise from the emperor, who bestowed on her the title of Little Culinary Saint. Countless nobles adored her, traveling thousands of miles just to taste one of her dishes, and eagerly offering to introduce their sons to her.

Seeing her status rise, the phoenix man spoke with heartfelt affection and silver-tongued eloquence, repeatedly declaring that he wanted to welcome her into his household as a favored concubine.

Ye Jiu sneered and snapped back, “Be your favored concubine? I just want to cook!”

After Ye Jiu rejected their marriage proposals again and again, everyone finally realized that she truly had no interest in marriage. They gave up their hopes and secretly agreed that Culinary Saint Ye belonged to them all. No one was to bother her or claim her for themselves.

But after the Qionglin Banquet, the newly appointed top scholar rode up on a tall horse, with a grand bridal sedan chair carried by eight bearers behind him, and stopped outside her little restaurant. Gazing at her tenderly, he said, “A Jiu, I’ve come to marry you!”

Everyone: Damn it, this little brat is breaking the rules!

Just as they prepared to enjoy the show and watch him get rejected too, Ye Jiu appeared in a gorgeous red wedding dress, looking graceful and shy as the matchmaker helped her into the sedan chair.

Everyone: Didn’t she say she only wanted to cook? This sure is a face-slapping moment!

Tang Qiwen raised an eyebrow and smiled smugly. “I am cooking, after all. You’re the dish on my plate!”

One-on-one, both leads are each other’s one and only, sweet romance.

[Reading Guide]

This story is set in a fictional world. Please don’t nitpick the historical details.

The phoenix man is not the male lead (very important). The male lead is the dashing Young Master Tang!

That’s all for now!

Blurb for I Kidnapped a Eunuch:

Seasoned homebody Sang Yu transmigrated into a book and became a cannon-fodder female character in a male-oriented power fantasy, destined to pave the way for the male lead’s rise to power.

In the book, the male lead wanted to seize the throne, so he persuaded the old emperor to bring her back from the Lishan villa. He sweet-talked her into going to Western Shu as a bride, only so she could pass him intelligence and help him attack from within and without.

Later, when Western Shu fell, she was no longer useful. The male lead shot her through the heart, and she died with open eyes amid the snowstorms of Western Shu.

Unwilling to accept her fate, Sang Yu tried to fight back. She packed her bags and ran, only to crash into the arms of Xue Qian, the book’s villainous head eunuch. She even coveted his looks and wanted to lure him into becoming her bodyguard.

Sang Yu: QAQ, I’m doomed!

*

Xue Qian was a gentleman of impeccable bearing, ruthless and cunning. He manipulated the emperor and held immense power, appearing to have it all while being universally despised.

Everyone said he spent his whole life pursuing power, and that his heart was even more eunuch-like than he was.

Yet on the day the new emperor ascended the throne, he, a meritorious official, willingly gave up the power in his hands. All he asked was to spend his life with one person, keep her safe and make her happy. From then on, no storms would touch them, and they would live together in perfect harmony.

Blurb for After Transmigrating into a Book, I Raised a Top Scholar:

Qiao Yue woke up one morning and found herself in a male-oriented novel, where she had become Sang Qiaoyue, the male lead Zhao Tianqi’s child bride, destined to be cannon fodder.

In the book, Sang Qiaoyue worked herself to the bone to support Zhao Tianqi’s studies. He even deceived her into risking her chastity to help him eliminate Shen Qingshu, the obstacle in his way.

Who could have guessed that after Zhao Tianqi achieved fame and success, he would turn around and marry the chancellor’s daughter as his legal wife? Using Qiaoyue’s premarital loss of chastity as an excuse, he turned her into a mistress he kept hidden from the world. In the end, she died of depression.

Qiao Yue transmigrated into the scene where the original owner had been framed. Before her were a frail scholar who was being blamed by everyone yet still comforted her and promised to take responsibility, and a bullying, treacherous scumbag.

Thinking of the original owner’s fate, she joined Shen Qingshu’s side without hesitation.

*

The scheme to frame him failed, and Zhao Tianqi lost face instead. In a fit of humiliation and anger, he sold her off to Shen Qingshu for two taels of silver, calling it a marriage.

Only after arriving at the Shen household did Qiao Yue learn that, apart from their rickety house, the family had nothing. Even Shen Qingshu’s tuition fees had been waived by his teacher because of his talent.

After two days of plain congee and cabbage, Qiao Yue couldn’t take it anymore. She picked up the crafts she had once looked down on, embroidering scented sachets and making ink sticks. Not only did she help the Shen family live comfortably, she also raised Shen Qingshu into a plump, rosy-cheeked top scholar.

The scumbag’s life went from bad to worse, and he eventually failed the examinations. He wept and begged her to change her mind. Wearing his top scholar’s robes and holding Qiao Yue by the waist, someone produced the imperial decree granting their marriage. “I’m married. Don’t bother me.”

A Bedchamber Maid as a Wife

A Man first met Fu Yunxiu on a sunny afternoon. In a desolate, dilapidated courtyard, a man sat in a wheelchair. His pale face was devoid of color. He lazily lifted his eyelids and asked, “Are you the bedchamber maid my mother found for me?”

A Man didn’t reply, but her face quietly turned red, because she had never seen anyone so handsome.

*

Fu Yunxiu had been sickly since birth. He was frail and often ill, and later injured both legs. When a doctor declared that he wouldn’t live past twenty-five, he became a discarded son of the Fu family.

A Man looked after him dutifully for three years, staying by his side as he safely passed his twenty-fifth birthday. Then, on another sunny afternoon, the man told her he was going to marry.

At that moment, A Man suddenly felt that Fu Yunxiu, whom she had always had to look up to, wasn’t handsome at all.

Everyone thought A Man would refuse to accept it, making a scene and threatening to harm herself, but she only stared at him for a long time before quietly saying, “Congratulations.”

Then, amid the Fu household’s festive decorations and joyful laughter, she took the shabby bundle she had brought when she first arrived and walked out of the Fu family home alone...

They say that night, the usually gentle and refined eldest young master of the Fu family searched all over Yuncheng with red eyes, as if gone mad, just to find the wife who had vanished.
