Next story: The Green Tea Girl Saves a Chaotic World by Enjoying the Gossip [Book Transmigration]

Blurb: Transmigrated into the body of a sickly green tea girl, Ye Sang initially only wanted to follow the plot until she died on the road to the border town, then transmigrate back home.

But she never expected this world to be a field full of the juiciest gossip!

[The courtesan your second brother brought home is a eunuch!]

[Your fiance is actually impotent.]

[The crown prince is conspiring with an enemy nation to rebel. Because he suspects...]

[The enemy general can't have the empress of your country, so he secretly sneaks into your army camp to watch the male lead and ease his longing.]

[There's plenty more gossip. Head to the border town to unlock it.]

Ye Sang: Huh?

Damn, with gossip this juicy, why would I leave?

So, in order to enjoy the gossip, Ye Sang, who came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, not only cured her chronic illness but also went from being a green tea girl to one of the greatest doctors around.

But Ye Sang was so immersed in her green tea persona that she didn't know everyone she'd treated could hear her conversations with the System. Not only did they all follow along with her gossip, they also watched her performance in silence.

Her father and brothers were stunned: They had no idea their daughter could act so well! But... heh... this gossip is delicious!

And Xiao Shuyan, who once looked down on Ye Sang: His Sang'er is so adorable when she acts.

But...

Ye Sang: Damn, System, why didn't you tell me the male lead was a wolf in sheep's clothing? I've always thought he was an upright, kind-hearted good man!

System: What made you misunderstand him so badly?

Ye Sang: I'm doomed. I've been pushing my luck with the male lead every day...

So, Xiao Shuyan was about to confess when he belatedly realized that his carefully crafted image had been ruined without him even noticing!

Blurb:

Zhang Zhang unexpectedly transmigrated to an ancient world where war raged along the border and could spill over to her at any moment. She became a farm girl whose aunt had just died, whose family was dirt poor, and who was left with only two young children to care for.

Zhang Zhang: This seems like a pretty miserable start?

But whatever.

As a short-video creator, Zhang Zhang soon discovered all kinds of foods that were common in modern times but rare delicacies in this era.

In that case...

Making sauces, preparing snacks, opening restaurants... Zhang Zhang's ancient-world business took off, and people came from a thousand miles away just to visit.

Customers: This is so delicious! Who knew ordinary ingredients could become heavenly delicacies if you prepared them differently?

But just as her business was thriving, people started getting jealous.

Zhang Zhang, who had once been the target of smear campaigns, said: I've been through nastier business wars. Am I supposed to be afraid of this?

Someone wanted to steal her recipes?

Zhang Zhang wouldn't stand for it. She sent them straight to the local authorities. No one was allowed to cut off her source of income!

Others said that as a woman, she brought shame upon her ancestors by showing herself in public, and should just find a man to marry.

Zhang Zhang's retort left the scholars speechless: You're useless at everything, but you're the best at running your mouth!

A certain someone behind her: My wife's so awesome. I love her.

Returning to his home under the identity of his sworn brother, who had supposedly died, Xiao Jin met his brother's younger siblings, as well as the supposedly timid and delicate cousin his brother had told him about.

But she didn't seem like the cousin he'd heard about?

The cousin had single-handedly kept the family afloat, giving the two younger ones a comfortable life with schooling, good food, and decent clothes. She'd proved the villagers who looked down on her wrong, and she made foods he'd never even heard of!

On top of that, Zhang Zhang would adorably mutter to herself in a corner: No, no. Dating someone you picked up can lead to bankruptcy at best and your family getting wiped out at worst...

Xiao Jin: ???

Wait, what storybook is ruining my chance at happiness?

1. This is a fictional setting, focused on career and plot.

2. The male lead appears fairly late, around Chapter 30.
