I Opened a Tavern in the Northern Song Dynasty

Everyone else ascended after surviving their tribulation. She survived hers and transmigrated instead.

From the start, she had nothing: the family home was bare, her pockets were empty, and there wasn't a grain of rice in the pot. Her widowed mother had no one to rely on, and her younger siblings were crying to be fed.

When she learned that her family also owned a restaurant on the verge of bankruptcy, about to be seized by someone else, her eyes lit up. What was she waiting for?

Out came steaming plates of stir-fried dishes!

Up went a piping-hot spicy hotpot!

Going bankrupt? No way. She would never go bankrupt in this lifetime!

Wen Ke carried memories from her past life and was born into this one as a baby. She also got a useless System for watching palace gossip. It didn't help with cultivation, and it wasn't a spatial golden finger. Its only function was to broadcast palace intrigue around the clock, in a cheerful tone like a host presenting "The Palace Hot Search List."

[Ding dong! Host, please take note! Today's headline: Consort Hui's cat bit Consort De's embroidered shoe, possibly sparking a diplomatic crisis in the imperial harem!]

[Tips for watching the show: The Kangxi Emperor summoned Consort Yi last night, but stayed for only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Could he possibly... have something on his mind?]

Wen Ke: Wow!

Since birth, she had never seen her mother. The only people around her were a few palace maids and matrons, who day after day drilled into her: "Princess, a woman should be gentle and virtuous. In the future, you must marry into a grassland tribe and help ease the country's troubles."

Wen Ke lay in her cradle, blinking her innocent big eyes, while inwardly laughing coldly thirty thousand times: Who wants to be obedient and virtuous? Who wants to marry into a grassland tribe?

The grasslands? The wind and sun, mosquitoes bigger than flies, sleeping in a tent and bruising your back every time you turn over! Drinking milk tea for three days would give you heatiness and pimples, and riding a horse would make you question your life. That's what they wanted her to do?

Don't make me laugh. She was dressed in silk and brocade and ate special little milk cakes from the imperial kitchen. Even her diapers were soft silk sent as tribute from Jiangnan. Her life was more refined than a trendy guesthouse, so who would willingly go through all that hardship?

Since fate wouldn't give her a choice, she'd rewrite the script herself!

And so, the harem's style changed overnight. A little dumpling in a bib, with chubby baby cheeks, began her "growing-up plan to cling to powerful allies."

"I Became a Laid-Back Fish in an Immortal Sect After Transmigrating" (Boys' Love)

Yun Qinghuan was a rich second-generation heir with no ambition whatsoever. By chance, he transmigrated to another world and awakened memories from his previous life.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his senior brother, who had stabbed him clean through. His legs gave out, and he fell to his knees...

Then he saw the concerned looks of the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh senior brothers he'd wronged in his previous life. Yun Qinghuan more or less understood why he had been reborn!

This time, he would be a good junior brother who fought for nothing and competed with no one!
