The moment Mu Shangqi opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a hotel room, with a handsome man beside her.
From the scattered memories of last night, they'd done everything they should and shouldn't have done.
Mu Shangqi: "..."
Drinking really does get you into trouble!
As she sat there in a daze, the handsome man woke up and shyly asked if she wanted to marry him.
Mu Shangqi: "..."
Was there no transition at all?
She firmly refused, picked up her bag, and gracefully headed back to her hometown.
Then she discovered she was pregnant...
What a cruel twist of fate!
What else could she do? Have the baby, of course!
She kept busy while expecting, helping establish an industrial park, connecting people to attract investment, and helping her hometown grow prosperous and escape poverty.
Just when everything was going well, the baby's father showed up. And what was more, he refused to leave!
Mu Shangqi wanted to say no, too, but he was so sweet when he got clingy, and his cooking was amazing.
As they spent more time together, she realized she was starting to like him.
Mu Shangqi sighed. What else could she do?
Say yes, of course!
P.S. The setting is fictional. As long as a child has a birth certificate, they can be registered in the household records. The heroine signs her own surgical consent forms. Also, in the fictional setting, unless someone leaves a will, an individual can only inherit the head of household's estate, not the estates of both parents.
Also, in this fictional society, when a child is registered in the household records, the relevant documentation is presented. Without a marriage certificate, the child is registered under one person's name. With a marriage certificate, both parents are listed as the child's household heads.
The farming in this novel relies mainly on new technology, developed in-house by the heroine's company. The heroine is one of the people involved in its development, so this isn't traditional farming.
Currently serializing a new novel:
Office worker Tao Lanlan transmigrates into a book and becomes a cannon-fodder passerby who's about to be killed off. All she has is a gossip System that's useless at everything except eating, and even that is its greatest talent.
Luckily, there's always a way out. To make up for Tao Lanlan's miserable lot, the gossip System proactively applies for a gossip-and-survival card for her, guaranteeing that every gossip session goes smoothly.
Tao Lanlan is on the verge of tears, but she steels herself and picks through layers upon layers of gossip to find a way to stay alive. She successfully gets her younger sister out of servitude at the Marquis's residence and swindles a huge sum of startup capital.
With her startup money in hand, she's delighted.
A restaurant? I'll take it over!
A cloth shop? I'll buy it!
An academy? I'll open one!
...None of it happened. Can someone tell her why her little sister is a spy working for the heroine?
Exhausted, Tao Lanlan has no choice but to strike a deal with the original heroine. She uses the heroine's money and influence, while the heroine gets information from her at a low price.
But before she knew it, Tao Lanlan had turned her little restaurant into the largest intelligence exchange in the martial world.
"Boss, don't push your luck!"
Tao Lanlan sighed. "Dear, the man you slept with last night has syphilis. You should be careful, too."
The customer, who'd been throwing his weight around just moments earlier, hurriedly left.
Tao Lanlan leisurely took a sip of tea. Sigh, she couldn't help it. Some people just had to test the System's information-gathering abilities. If they weren't scared of the heroine's influence, surely they were scared of having their dirty secrets exposed.
"Boss, are you really not interested in giving us a try?"
Tao Lanlan nearly spat out her tea.
Someone really wasn't afraid!
Watching Tang Zhe show up every day and cling stubbornly to her, Tao Lanlan sighed. This guy was such a dog. He'd even come up with that excuse just to trade for information!
One time, Tang Zhe was drugged and ended up in Tao Lanlan's bed.
Tao Lanlan opened the bed curtains, saw his eight-pack, and jumped. "Gasp! You're trying to seduce me!"
She firmly helped Tang Zhe get dressed. "Young Master Tang, you have to have some standards. Don't do something like this just for information! Have some self-respect!"
P.S. The events may not happen in the same order as in the blurb.
Theme: A simple, sweet little story
Ouch, ouch, ouch, shock!!!!!
