The next book in the series, The Ancient-Era Fan Girl's Rise to the Top, will start updating in mid-March. Feel free to add it to your library!
An agronomy PhD wakes up in the book The Grand Secretary as the short-lived farm girl wife of the grand secretary, who died of depression.
This farm girl only knows how to grow crops. She has nothing in common with the ladies of the capital and can't fit in with them. Her status also makes it improper for her to work in the fields, so she spends her days miserable and eventually dies of depression.
Ye Qinghan thinks: Isn't it better to focus on farming and grow high-yield, delicious food? Why care what those women, who'll be confined to the inner quarters their whole lives, think of her?
She rolls up her sleeves and starts cultivating hybrid rice and researching fertilizers to boost yields. In two years, she raises the yield per mu by 50%; in five years, she doubles it... By then, the grand secretary from the original novel has only just taken the imperial examinations.
When the ladies learn that the new top scholar's wife is nothing but a farm girl, they all feel sorry for him. Little do they know that the woman they're pitying is being received by the emperor. They also have no idea that the high-yield rice seeds they cherish were developed by the very farm girl they look down on...
When news spreads that the emperor has personally appointed the top scholar's farm girl wife as an agricultural official, in charge of farming across the empire, those who once looked down on her in secret come rushing to her door. They ask whether she has any sisters like her, and even set their sights on her still-babbling little daughter, all eager to become in-laws...

1. The Ancient-Era Fan Girl's Rise to the Top
Synopsis:
The second-generation slacker Qin Xue used to spend her days eating and drinking. But ever since she became a fan of Ye Qinghan, the first female official of the Zhao Kingdom, her daily routine has changed to following every detail of her idol's life: what country Minister Ye is visiting, what she's researching, and what school she's established.
To get closer to her idol, Qin Xue studies foreign languages, devotes herself to science, and volunteers to teach at a school.
As she pursues her idol, she not only becomes her beloved disciple, but eventually her daughter-in-law, too. From then on, she's the lucky girl who lives under the same roof as her idol, a model fan by any measure.
In a word: the story of an ancient-era fan girl who works hard and rises to the top.
A little scene:
1. When Qin Xue learns that her father, who had rushed off on an errand, is back home, she hurries over, lifting her skirt. "Father, from now on, I don't need pretty clothes or jewelry. Let's save the money you've earned, and please don't work so hard."
The trip had gone well, and Qin Laicai is in high spirits. He can't resist teasing her. "You won't just have to give up pretty clothes and jewelry. You might not get to eat the Fang family's desserts, your favorite treat, either."
Qin Xue loves sweets more than anything. Hearing this, her face falls. "Wouldn't that be the death of me?" Then she remembers a notice she'd seen a few days ago, and her eyes light up. "I've got it! I can become a dessert apprentice."
Staring at the disastrous oven before her, Qin Xue braves the famously discerning gaze of the renowned female official Ye Qinghan and says, "I think I'd be better suited to teaching than to being a dessert apprentice. Minister Ye, could you tell me what kind of teachers the school needs?"
Every time she steps into the kitchen, something goes wrong. For the sake of her life, teaching is definitely safer. If she becomes a teacher, she should earn enough silver to buy herself desserts, right?!
2. Liu Zhiyan has a secret quirk: he likes poking balls to relieve stress.
Nobody knows how hard he has to restrain himself whenever he sees Qin Xue's puffed-up cheeks, stopping himself from poking them like a pair of balls.
After they get engaged, Qin Xue learns about his quirk and asks indignantly, "Did you get engaged to me just so you could poke my cheeks to relieve stress?"
"Of course not." As he speaks, he doesn't hesitate to reach out and poke his fiancee's cheek. "It's because your cheeks are so cute, I can't help liking you (and wanting to poke them)..."
A sweet-toothed, adorably silly merchant's daughter VS a cunning official's son who runs a dessert shop. Blurb revised on February 17, 2025.

Congratulations on the ending, why didn't it change the ending? And I originally thought there would be a sequel.
Congratulations on the completion... In fact, you can write more about the ending (actually I didn't read it well enough, don't mind) This article is very practical. Like Ye Ye, it is based on agriculture, and every step is very solid. In fact, I really hope to open a modern side story... (I don't know if there is a side story) (I have written a lot about children in my copywriting, and I am begging for extra chapters. I want to see a few children get married and cross the threshold...)
Congratulations on the completion. I have been following each chapter and want to write a longer and more expressive review, but I am not good at words, so I can only check each chapter to make it look good?
Big... I just want to give you an immature opinion. The emperor calls his ministers... Usually he doesn't call him Aiqing or something like that... Only teachers and the like would be called adults or something like that (or maybe they wouldn't be called adults) And in your article, the emperor always calls his ministers... My lord. It's just a little doubt on my part, please give it a try! (How come 10,000 daily updates is so awesome? I hope you can open a daily update training class hahahahaha)
There's another little red envelope, go for it!!!
Will there be three children? How many more chapters are left until the couple can work together?
It is worthy of the mind of the future chief assistant.
Indeed, I bought it without reading it. I won't skip chapters... (I asked in a low voice if I might not be able to connect if I skip chapters...)
I usually buy it directly because there are dozens of copies a day.
Ye Changsong received her biological mother within the stipulated time. Is there a typo?
