The main story is complete! My next novel, Black Lotus, Help Me Take Down the Scumbags, is being serialized now. Click into my author page and let's keep reading together, hehe.
Blurb: Shi Qianqian, a tour guide on the Tea Horse Road, is caught in a mudslide. She closes her eyes, opens them again, and finds herself a pitiful girl whose father is dead, whose mother is gravely ill, and who has a little brother to support. With starvation looming, her mother gives her a jade lock and tells her to seek out her biological parents for shelter.
Should she seek refuge with her wealthy biological parents, or make it on her own?

The soldiers are all talking about the new stall beside Huguo Temple. It makes the coarse rice they are sick of eating every day into erkuai, steaming, boiling, stir-frying, or roasting it, with sweet, savory, and spicy flavors, each bite soft and fragrant.
What? Too plain?
Then wrap it with sausage, fried dough sticks, egg, or crispy crackers.
The men from the north complain that their food is too bland and has no oil. The little cook pulls a golden-brown roast duck out of a huge iron barrel. One bite, and the rich fat runs down your chin, its savory flavor almost makes you bite your tongue.
What? Crispy outside and tender inside, but roast duck is too ordinary?
Then how about roast wild boar, pheasant, sparrow, wasp, or locust? Dare to try a bite?

Strange things keep appearing in Shi Qianqian's kitchen: wild fruit and fresh flowers, while her rolls of rice noodles and erkuai keep disappearing.
One night, she gets up and finally catches the thief: a little white rabbit with a chili pepper in its mouth. Its ruby-red eyes are so watery and adorable they could melt anyone's heart.
She grabs it by its long ears and turns it over to see if it's male or female.
The damn rabbit keeps kicking, bites her hard, then hops away with its red ears drooping.
Shi Qianqian clutches the two tooth marks on her hand, still shaken: That rabbit has the same look in its eyes as the Marquis of Zhenbei next door!
Reader's Guide:
1. Both leads are each other's first and only.
2. A chaste, straight-laced man who turns into an adorable rabbit at night and an awkward, flirtatious, goofy little cook.
Blurb for the new novel, Black Lotus, Help Me Take Down the Scumbags:
Pei Youyou, a student at the police academy, closes her eyes, opens them again, and finds herself the Third Miss of the Prince of Zhenbei's household. She's planning to lie flat and enjoy the life of a trust-fund brat, when she wanders deep into the woods.
A delinquent in front of her is brandishing a knife at a drunk. How could she stand by and ignore a crime in progress?
She kicks the gleaming dagger away and grabs the delinquent by the back of his collar to give him a scolding, then hangs him upside down from a tree branch to clear his head.
From then on, trouble follows her, and he sticks to her like a ghost.
Her beloved eldest sister cries that the residence is haunted and is on the verge of dying. Pei Youyou moves in with her, keeping her eyes wide open every night to catch the ghost. The delinquent plays a prank by rolling dirt into little balls and putting them in her sister's tea.
The ghost is caught and her sister recovers. Overjoyed, Pei Youyou decides not to hold it against him.
Her father, who is obsessed with women, catches a bad chill and is about to lose his life. Pei Youyou stays by his side day and night, personally making medicine and soup. The delinquent shows no remorse and actually throws a cockroach into her father's medicine.
She takes a deep breath, reminding herself to use love to reform the devil, and smiles as she tells him there won't be a next time.
She and her fiance are clinking cups and trading toasts, when the delinquent barges in to cause trouble, pouring wine all over her fiance.
Fine. Since he won't learn his lesson, Pei Youyou takes up a ruler and personally supervises him as he copies the Great Wei laws a hundred times.
Her second eldest sister, who once fought her over a stuffed toy, is heartbroken after her lover cheats on her and takes her own life. Pei Youyou bends over the coffin, weeping floods of tears, while the whole family is heartbroken.
He kicks open the coffin lid and scatters a handful of lime. This is too much to put up with!
Just as she rolls up her sleeves to tear the delinquent limb from limb, her second eldest sister suddenly comes back to life.
???
Her sister must have died in the wrong position!

The delinquent puts on a serious face and takes her hand to confess: "Youyou, how many times do I have to say it? I love you. Only you!"
1. Both leads are each other's first and only.
2. The male lead seems like a well-behaved, harmless, good-natured guy on the surface, but actually, hehe.
3. A seemingly weak and pitiful, but actually scheming and venomous black lotus & a reckless little police officer who protects her family and is fiercely loyal.
Theme: Food is salvation; preserve and pass on Chinese culinary culture.
I feel so frustrated because the heroine's business keeps having problems. She helped Ding with good intentions but was implicated by her. The male protagonist also holds back nothing and doesn't say anything, and the female protagonist doesn't know that he is a rabbit.
It's very annoying. I invite you to dinner every time and this routine is so annoying.
Isn't seventy a bit too much? Even in ancient times, the consumption power of the prefectural city was not enough. It was still in the border area. If it were added to the county, it would be more reasonable to have seventy.
Spread flowers~ (I feel like everything I want to see is in the pre-receipt copy
This Chang family is really...
The "male protagonist's sleep" is a big bug for the author~ hero
Call me aunt? The key point is wrong, isn't that called Uncle Pei Yang?
It's so stupid. It's obvious that the princess has bad intentions, so why bother looking for her? Challenge readers' IQ
When will this girl go offline? People are stupid and self-aware. The whole qynn is stupid and short-sighted. It's the whole troublemaker. Everything is done well.
Di Qing? Isn't this... A fiction?
