Chronicles of an Ancient Escape from Famine

Coming soon: The Wicked Original Wife of an Exiled Villain

Blurb

After transmigrating, Li Yuanyuan becomes an orphan abandoned by her family.

Hoping to find a safe place in this turbulent age and live a comfortable life, she keeps struggling against the times and never gives up. In the end, she secures a peaceful life for herself.

She had planned to live freely as a landlady, but after one careless mishap, she ends up taking a husband home.

The first time Yin Jue sees Li Yuanyuan:

A little beggar with tangled hair clings desperately to his trouser leg. She raises her dirty face and looks at him with deep sorrow. "Help me, sir! I'm so hungry."

The second time Yin Jue sees Li Yuanyuan:

He grabs her trouser leg, raises his tearful face, and looks at her weakly. "Miss... please save me..."

Uh, and she just turns and walks away?

So he uses the same shameless trick she did and clings to her trouser leg, refusing to let go.

P.S. The heroine will get a golden finger, but it's a small one. This is a gentle, slice-of-life story about family and everyday matters, with little melodrama.

Blurb for another upcoming novel:

Transmigrated with a Teaching System (Imperial Exams)

Transmigrated with a Teaching System (Imperial Exams)

Ji Chi transmigrates to ancient times and becomes an orphan who was raised as a boy by her parents.

With all her immediate family dead, Ji Chi doesn't want to reclaim her identity as a woman, and can't find suitable work. Her biggest challenge is figuring out how to survive.

After much thought, she decides to return to her old profession and become a teacher!

Because she discovers she seems to have bonded with a teaching System. Not only can she access any knowledge she wants whenever she needs it, but she can also channel the greatest teachers, explaining even the most obscure concepts in simple terms!

But as her lessons progress, Ji Chi realizes things are starting to go wrong.

Student One: Teacher, I think the policies the court makes are all style and no substance. You said reform is the only way to save the country. I'm going to make the court enact new policies!

Student Two: Teacher, you said everything can truly flourish only when all things compete and every flower blooms. The great clans monopolize most of the resources, leaving the common people starving. That's the root of all this unrest. I vow to change things and make sure those century-old clans can never exploit the people again!

Student Three: Teacher, you said political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. I think it would be better to just replace the emperor. What do you think?

Looking at her students, each brimming with fighting spirit, Ji Chi swallows and asks, "Could you not do the things you just mentioned?"

The few who usually compete with one another exchange a knowing look and answer in unison, "No."

Ji Chi: "Then could you promise me one thing?"

"A hundred things," they reply in unison again.

Ji Chi: "Whatever trouble you cause from now on, please don't mention your teacher's name."

I Help His Majesty Take the Throne

Jiang Li transmigrates into a cruel romance novel, where the System orders her to help the gentle, harmless, kind-hearted male supporting character ascend the throne.

You've got to be kidding! The original male lead is cruel and ruthless, and this side character is just like any ordinary passerby. He doesn't have a single one of those "fine qualities" like being capricious, scheming, and devious!

System: He doesn't have them, so you can change him.

Jiang Li: Teaching people to be bad will bring heavenly retribution.

System: Then do you want to live or not?

Jiang Li: Come on, today we'll learn how to frame someone.

Feng Xu has always suspected that the daughter of the Minister of War has something wrong with her head.

For example, he was happily playing in the imperial garden when she suddenly told him to jump into the pond. He refused, so she pushed him in.

Or take the time she tried to coax him into eating poisoned food, saying she had the antidote and there was nothing to fear because the poison wouldn't kill him. She claimed it was all for his own good. When he refused, she secretly drugged him anyway.

And then there are the strange things she suddenly produces and asks him to take to his father to earn favor, insisting that the emperor will be amazed by him. But Feng Xu thinks that if he really takes them to his father, he might be sent to the cold palace at once.

So Feng Xu, who once wanted nothing, suddenly feels that danger lurks everywhere. The slightest mistake could cost him his life. He starts developing into an all-around talent, just to prevent that oddball "madwoman" from springing another surprise attack on him.

Years later, Jiang Li looks at the man before her and sighs with satisfaction. I really do have a talent for teaching. My little white rabbit has finally been trained into a big bad wolf.

Feng Xu gives her a sidelong look. You might be misunderstanding yourself.

On How I'm a Professional at Winning by Doing Nothing

In her past life, or rather, her many past lives, Yun Qing had it easy because she was the heroine of a story where everything fell into her lap.

What does it mean to win by doing nothing? It means she didn't have to lift a finger. Everything was simply handed to her.

If she was in a power-struggle power fantasy, she would have a formidable family background, while every antagonist would lose their wits at a crucial moment. She would gain both fame and fortune, and the heroine's halo would shine across the land.

If it was a pampered romance, even if she treated the male lead with disdain and considered him worthless, he would still think she was extraordinary and fall hopelessly in love with her.

She thought she would live happily ever after, but after another familiar transmigration, she discovered that her life had switched from easy mode to hard mode.

For example, she used to be everyone's darling, but now she was a poor, helpless girl everyone could bully.

And whereas handsome men used to either adore her or love her from afar, now even a single glance at someone could get her accused of wishful thinking.

Most absurd of all, one day she discovers that this world has a heroine just like the one from her past life, and her own character traits seem awfully familiar. She's the cannon-fodder female supporting character...

So what should she do? Yun Qing thinks it over and figures she's experienced at winning by doing nothing. Maybe she can use that to defeat this novel's heroine.

So, to everyone's astonishment, she starts a contest with the heroine to see who can slack off more. After all, when it comes to winning by doing nothing, she's a professional...

Theme: The male and female leads support each other and grow together, finding warm, gentle happiness in everyday life.
