Transmigrating as a Small-Town Heiress

Completed. My neighboring novel, I Was a Top Student in the 1990s, is currently updating. Come check it out! 1. Shen Zhenzhu transmigrates one day into the only daughter of a general store owner. Not only is the shop in trouble, she also has to find a live-in husband for her family. Shen Zhenzhu deals with all kinds of relatives while building a business with her little supernatural ability. Before long, her general store is thriving, and candidates for a live-in husband are lining up to apply. But what's with that blacksmith next door? He keeps driving the applicants away! 2. Every day, Guo Huaixu works at the forge while listening for sounds from next door. After more than a dozen men have come to the Shen family, he can't help going over to ask, "Miss Shen, are you still looking for a live-in husband?" Shen Zhenzhu gives a cold laugh. "I'm not looking for a live-in husband. I'm hiring a long-term worker." Guo Huaixu agrees without hesitation. "All right. I'll work for you, Miss Shen." From then on, Guo Huaixu works at the forge and as a long-term employee of the Shen family, helping Shen Zhenzhu shoulder every hardship in life. 3. Once no more suitors come to the Shen home, Guo Huaixu asks every day, "Miss Shen, do you think I can be your live-in husband now?" Shen Zhenzhu looks at his handsome face and the muscles bulging beneath his sweat-soaked clothes. Blushing, she says, "No. You have to work for me your whole life!" Blurb for The Empress Makes the Emperor Work Every Day: 1. Liu Pianpian's family is confiscated. Before she leaves the capital, her fiance rushes over to break off their engagement, cutting ties with her for good. Once she reaches a border town, Liu Pianpian has three goals: earn money to support her family, stay away from ruffians, and wait for her family to rise again. She'll return to the capital and smash that heartless scoundrel's head in. 2. One day, Xie Jingyuan, the "ruffian chief" next door, has just chased off a matchmaker when he sees Liu Pianpian use a club to chase ruffians two miles away. He slaps his thigh. "That's exactly the kind of wife I need!" But when he shows up at her door, Liu Pianpian mistakes him for a ruffian and beats him out of the house. Xie Jingyuan rolls up his sleeves and turns into a clingy puppy. "Pianpian, I'll carry water for you." "Pianpian, that club's too heavy. Let me hold it." Liu Pianpian can only play her trump card. "If you can avenge me, I'll say yes." Xie Jingyuan nods at once. "All right!" Liu Pianpian is dumbfounded. Could this guy be an idiot? 3. Xie Jingyuan is worrying about how to avenge the woman he loves when a corrupt official drops out of nowhere and tries to steal his wife! Xie Jingyuan spits out the foxtail grass in his mouth. "Brothers, this corrupt official has gone too far! Let's rebel against him!" And so a gang of "bandits" who rob the rich to help the poor appears along the border. Not long after becoming a "bandit," Xie Jingyuan wants to laze around again. Liu Pianpian smiles sweetly, but she's holding a club. "Brother Yuan, get up and get to work!" Xie Jingyuan immediately jumps to his feet and scurries off. 4. From "bandit" to local overlord, and eventually to the throne, Xie Jingyuan makes it all the way to the top. People say Empress Liu is too fiery and always beats the emperor with a club. Xie Jingyuan scoffs. "What do you know? The empress and I are just playing around." Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations and keep your feet on the ground.
