I'm Both a Parasitic Flower and a Green Tea Schemer

Ji Sisi is delicate and gentle, sweet and lovely. For over a decade, she has been a harmless rich heiress, until one night she transmigrates to a parallel world. Her family's company: driven into bankruptcy. Her rich boyfriend: ran off with someone else. Her admirers: moved on to someone new. Her wealthy relatives: nowhere to be found. Her family fortunes in decline and her father gravely ill, they can barely afford three meals a day. Right before her eyes, her young brother turns into a goofy polar bear and pounds his chest, declaring that he'll go haul bricks at a construction site. Her mother cries, "It's a shame we're all ordinary people with no awakened abilities. We can't help." Ji Sisi twists her slender, pale fingers together. Tears glisten in her peach-blossom eyes as she timidly says, "...I-I'll do my best." Behind her family's back, she uses an awakening drug she bought on the black market. After enduring excruciating pain, she awakens the most useless plant attribute... Biluochun, also known as Buddha's Heart, a type of green tea. She's so dejected she can't help crying. But... Looking at her increasingly lovely, graceful face in the mirror and her fair, delicate skin, she senses that whenever she stirs a man's emotions, her ability keeps growing stronger... Things don't seem to be going the way she expected. * Six months later. Her former rich fiancé loses his usual calm after making a scene in front of her. His eyes red, he blocks her at the door and begs, "Sisi, don't leave me. If you'll stay by my side, I'll do anything you want." The rising business tycoon who stole her family's assets is full of regret. He takes her hand and guides a dagger toward his own chest. "If this can atone for my sins, you can take my life whenever you want." The young childhood friend who was the former best friend's unrequited crush protects her with his life when forced to choose between them. Young and hot-blooded, he shouts at the bandits, "If you dare hurt Sisi, I'll make you regret ever being born!" But Ji Sisi doesn't want any of them. * At a bar, the lights glow and the wine flows. Ji Sisi's cheeks are flushed as someone urges her over to a refined, dignified man. Too shy and nervous to meet his eyes, she hesitates, then hooks her slender, pale finger around the silver metal belt buckle at his waist. "Sir, could you do me a favor?" "What favor?"
