[Distinguished, Stern Minister of Revenue * Aloof, Delicate Tea House Beauty]
On her wedding day, Xie Chacha was poisoned to death by her cousin, who had secretly been having an affair and gotten pregnant. To her shock, she transmigrated into the novel she'd stayed up late reading the night before, and landed in a family that had run the Liangliang Teahouse for generations.
She thought the biggest challenge of her new life would be brewing tea, whisking tea, picking tea, and tasting tea. She'd clearly underestimated things.
A teahouse in the capital became all the rage, drawing nobles and wandering heroes from far and wide.
Every table was full, and its fame spread across the land.
People said the tea girl was beautiful, talented, and possessed an exceptional bearing. Even the aloof, proud Minister of Revenue had fallen at her feet.
He even declared outright, "This young lady looks very much like my betrothed."
The customers present: ?
The Minister of Revenue's way of pursuing a girl was outrageously old-fashioned.
The tea girl only wanted to run a small business, but on the Minister of Revenue's recommendation, she entered the palace to serve tea at a banquet.
The tea girl clutched her handkerchief and sobbed: First of all, I haven't provoked anyone. Why are you treating me like this?
After entering the palace, the tea girl was cautious and kept to herself. When a schemer set her up, the Minister of Revenue grabbed her wrist and steadied her as she stumbled forward, staging a dramatic hero-rescues-beauty scene.
The tea girl sneered: Hah, so this is what you've been waiting for?
