After Breaking Off Three Engagements, I Made a Fortune with Food

------Advance notice: Please add my upcoming novel, My Beautiful, Strong, Tragic Male Supporting Character Begs Me for a Happy Ending, to your favorites. I start redeeming the tragic, powerful man from when he's a puppy. Preview below------

Lu Youyou transmigrates into a book, becoming a disposable character who is killed when the beautiful, strong, tragic male supporting character cuts out her heart to help the heroine become immortal. To stay alive, Lu Youyou desperately tries to win the favor of Que Zhou, the beautiful, strong, tragic man--

The first time she transmigrates into the book, Que Zhou is five years old, a pitiful child abandoned by the world. The heroine is about to burn his face. Lu Youyou falls into a sea of flames and disappears while saving him. Her attempt to win his favor fails.

The second time she transmigrates into the book, Que Zhou is fifteen, a demon general with a fearsome reputation. The heroine is about to push him from the Immortal-Slaying Terrace, leaving him crippled. Lu Youyou falls from the terrace and disappears while saving him. Her second attempt to win his favor fails too.

The third time she transmigrates into the book, Que Zhou is twenty-five and has long since become a cold, solitary Demon Venerable. As soon as Lu Youyou lands, Que Zhou points his icy sword at her chest, about to kill her and cut out her heart for the heroine.

After failing to win his favor twice, Lu Youyou thinks she's about to die on the spot.

Suddenly, the haughty Demon Venerable trembles as he grabs the hem of her clothes by her feet, his eyes red as tears stream down his face.

"Youyou, please, don't abandon me again."

A redemption story with angst for the male lead. Male lead fans, stay away!!!

----Novel blurb (This is a writing exercise, an extremely embarrassing relic of my past. I don't recommend buying it)------

Li Jiaojiao of Xinghua Village has been dumped by her fiance yet again.

The village gossips chatter away: "Who'd want to marry a lazybones with a loose-looking face and worship her like an ancestor? She looks like the wind could blow her away. Who knows if she can even have children!"

Li Jiaojiao remains calm: What's so great about getting married? As a culinary whiz, isn't making a fortune the better choice?

She's even been an empress in her dreams. Is she proud of herself now?

One day, she accidentally finds the emperor from her dreams, and Li Jiaojiao thinks, "???"

Luckily, when the man wakes up, he doesn't recognize her, so Li Jiaojiao can carry on inventing delicious dishes and building her fortune.

Later, her younger brother becomes the top scholar, the restaurant named after Li Jiaojiao thrives and becomes famous, and it even draws the attention of the Empress Dowager.

The man smiles, his voice low: "Empress, you've been playing around long enough. Isn't it time to return to the palace?"

A doted-on, lucky-charm, culinary whiz heroine x a noble, haughty, wife-devoted male lead

Reader's guide: This is a fictional setting, a fictional setting, a fictional setting! No historical accuracy enthusiasts, please!

The heroine dreams that in her previous life she was the empress, and when she wakes, she can recreate the imperial dishes from her dreams.

Moral: Don't panic if your engagement is broken off. Watch me stand on my own two feet and make a fortune through food!
