Song Li transmigrates into a period novel and becomes the younger sister of the story's great villain.
As a fake heiress, she's driven out by her wealthy adoptive parents and sent back to her poor birth family. According to the plot, her family members will all die one after another.
Song Li: I've survived ten years of the apocalypse and ruled eight blocks. Go ask around and find out who's the boss!
There's no way she's going to die. She's going to eat well, sleep well, and live well. Her birth parents are too poor, so she'll set up a food stall to support the family. After all, she has nutrient solution that can make food taste several times more delicious.
Who knew that after all her hard work setting up the stall, her parents would bring out a whole box of gold bars and tell their darling daughter to take as many as she liked!
Her business venture fails because she suddenly becomes a rich heiress. Song Li is about to pack up her stall when she turns around and sees her food being snapped up in a frenzy.
One customer after another bangs their bowl and queues up: "Boss, do you have any more? I'll pay extra for another bowl!"
Strength-boosting spinach wontons, beauty-enhancing hibiscus porridge, seafood soup that cures every illness...
The sun is already high in the sky. While Song Li sleeps in, diners line up and climb into the tree outside her window, pleading meekly: "Boss, we're hungry. Feed us!"
Song Li's private dishes become famous far and wide, with every bowl in high demand. The real heiress, Lin Yarou, uses every trick in the book to steal the recipes, only to break down when she discovers that even following the exact same methods, her food just doesn't taste the same.
Her villainous older brother is so eager for a meal cooked by his sister that he makes peace with their parents like a good boy. When he sees his old buddies, he declares, "My sister won't let me fight, so I've turned over a new leaf!"
Meanwhile, the young scientist next door, newly returned from studying abroad, takes one bite of Song Li's food and says with conviction, "This food defies the laws of science."
Song Li's eyelid twitches. Why does the way this guy talks sound so much like her general from the apocalypse?

Coming soon: Stepmom to a 1990s Villain
The thing Rong Yun hates most is stories about stepmothers. Whenever she sees them on the Green River rankings, she can't help asking, "Why become a stepmom? Why volunteer to take on someone else's baggage?"
Then she transmigrates into a period novel. The first thing she sees when she opens her eyes is her second husband, her stepson who will become a villain in the future, and... the daughter about to be born in her belly.
Rong Yun: I am so screwed!
Fortunately, her husband only sends money and never comes home, while her stepson is out from dawn till dusk and doesn't say a word to her.
Rong Yun is perfectly happy with that. She shops, eats, and experiments with all kinds of food as she gets ready to give birth.
Who would have thought that just a week later, her taciturn stepson would blush and ask her, "Mom, what's for dinner tonight?"
And one lazy morning, when Rong Yun gets out of bed, she discovers that her factory director husband, who acts so high and mighty outside, is sneaking bites of the leftovers she meant to feed the stray dogs...
Something about this plot seems off.
