Completed! Friends, please leave a rating! Coming soon: Husband Sent Down to the Countryside [The 1970s] and Straight Girl Meets a Male Green Tea. Scroll down for the blurbs!

Cheng Baozhu was exactly what her name suggested: her parents' precious darling, a useless little thing who couldn't carry a shoulder pole or lift a hand.

On her twentieth birthday, she accidentally transmigrated to 1975 and married the laziest man for miles around.

Looking at the black, greasy pickled vegetables, the drafty walls, and the rural outhouse...

She decided to die.

Chef God System: Wait, you have a golden finger!

Cheng Baozhu: I still want to die.

Chef God System: Let's talk this out. This System offers a complete range of services for the food industry, helping you reach the pinnacle of success and become a self-made millionaire!

A self-made millionaire?

Chef God System: That's right. Just learn to cook with me every night, learn to identify ingredients and grow them, study business management...

Really?

Cheng Baozhu turned her gaze toward her husband.

Xu Chuan was famous near and far for being lazy. His older brother was honest, and his parents doted on him, so he worked fewer than three days a year.

Raised by his parents and siblings into a pretty boy, he became the envy of all the children in the village.

He'd planned to coast through life with his wife, but who knew he'd get bound to a strange Chef God System?

Can't cook? Bzzzt, electric shock.

Can't read? Bzzzt, electric shock.

Don't want to study? Bzzzt, electric shock.

From then on, Xu Chuan spent every night being dragged into a space where he couldn't leave until he'd learned a whole dish.

--

A big thing happened in the commune: the lazy, gluttonous youngest son of the Xu family had married the pampered youngest daughter of the Cheng family!

Nobody thought much of the young couple. Everyone figured they'd either starve or die poor.

Who could have guessed they'd make such a thriving life for themselves?

Year one: paid off the team's old debts.

Year two: had money to spare.

Year three: opened a shop in the city.

Year four... Hey, by then they were off to the capital. The next time anyone saw them, it was in the newspaper!

Coming soon: Husband Sent Down to the Countryside [The 1970s]

Blurb: Qiao Mingming transmigrated, but she took it in stride.

Her husband was well-educated, handsome, good-tempered, and had a secure government job. He was every auntie's dream son-in-law.

But before she'd had enough of the good life, her husband was framed by a villain and was about to be dismissed and sent down to the countryside.

Good heavens, this wasn't fair!

Looking at the three-year-old beside her, Qiao Mingming fainted. When she woke, she was told there was another baby in her belly.

--

Cheng Yunyun was reborn one day and wept until tears streamed down her face.

In her previous life, she had insisted on marrying a sent-down youth. But after he returned to the city, he never came back, leaving her to live a miserable life.

Reborn, she set out to make money.

First she taught the production team to raise fish in the rice paddies. Six months later, she ruined two mu of rice fields. Then she taught her family to grow mushrooms. Two months later, they'd wasted a pile of lumber.

With no other choice, she turned to the person who had suggested those money-making ideas in her previous life: Professor Ning, who was living in the cowshed.

Later, she turned her attention to Professor Ning's wife, too.

--

After Ning Yu was sent down to the countryside, he was constantly worried about his beloved wife and young son back home. One day, he woke up to discover he was a character in a storybook.

In the book, as soon as he was sent down, his wife cut ties with him, aborted their unborn child, and married the villain who had framed him, taking their son with her. After he was exonerated, he relentlessly retaliated against his wife and lived happily ever after with Cheng Yunyun, who had stood by him through thick and thin.

What a ridiculous mess, Ning Yu thought indignantly.

Mingming was beautiful and kind, and loved him deeply. She might be a little spoiled, but there was no way she'd marry that villain!

A thousand miles away,

Qiao Mingming was facing the villain's advances. When he produced a stack of cash and coupons, Qiao Mingming, the "beautiful and kind woman who loved her husband deeply," shamefully felt her heart waver.

Straight Girl Meets a Male Green Tea

Yan Yao was the heroine of an old-school angst novel.

She was entangled with Ji Yunting for ten years, going through three pregnancies and three miscarriages, leaving the country three times and returning three times, before finally "getting her happy ending."

To put it bluntly, she had every trait of an old-school novel heroine.

A fresh and refined white-lotus face, and the delicate figure of Lin Daiyu.

A poor and humble background, and a second male lead who stayed by her side until death...

If nothing unexpected happened, she would have continued along her predetermined path, enduring a series of physical and emotional torments.

But Yan Yao awakened and got a [Straight Girl System].

And so Yan Yao evolved from a delicate white flower into a thoroughly straightforward woman.

--

The old-school male lead: "She's my childhood friend's little sister. What's wrong with giving her a hug? You're being unreasonable!"

The straight-girl heroine now: "He's the older brother next door. What's wrong with splitting the cost of matching pajamas? You're making a fuss for nothing!"

The second male lead was overjoyed, firing off one green-tea line after another:

"Don't be mad, Yaoyao. I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Still, Ji Yunting does have a bit of a temper."

"Last time, he even shared a spoon with that girl. We only wore matching pajamas."

"He gets angry so easily. I'm not like him... You can say anything to me, and I won't get mad."

Yan Yao felt completely refreshed.

So satisfying! So this was how Ji Yunting had felt all along!

Nobody hates a green tea. They just wish the green tea had chosen them!
