Surviving with a Crafting Workshop [Classic Literature Crossover]

Blurb:

After transmigrating for years and finally being driven into a dead end, Lian Qiu at last remembers the plot she'd forgotten.

It turns out she's the male lead's childhood friend, a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a sweet romance.

In the book, she's always been the foil to the heroine.

In elementary school, the male lead ate the food she'd saved by going hungry, while thinking of the heroine, who gently wiped his face clean with a handkerchief.

In middle school, the male lead watched her summon the courage to stand in front of him and fight some punks, while thinking of the delicate, helpless heroine who needed protection.

In high school, the male lead confessed to her, while thinking of the heroine who was being confessed to by the upgraded version of a punk, the school bully.

In college, the male lead used the money she'd saved by living frugally to build a tech startup, with her talent and hard work. Just before the project was monetized and attracted investment, he kicked her out on the pretext that she'd leaked confidential information.

It was because the heroine had broken up with the second male lead.

She, meanwhile, ended up with a ruined reputation in the industry. After the male lead returned to his wealthy family, she was secretly suppressed as a black mark and couldn't find work.

Fortunately, she was reborn and returned to her childhood. Her golden finger had also fully loaded: the time she gained by transmigrating into famous works could unlock a magical crafting workshop.

Content warning:

The golden finger unlocks slowly, and you won't notice it much at first. The plot moves at a slow pace. The heroine's final destination is the path of cultivation. The unpleasant people and events are part of the process of tempering her heart, as her inner demons gradually fade, so the original male lead won't exit the story anytime soon.

Coming soon: My Portable Merch Has Come to Life

Blurb:

Hello, everyone. My name is Lian Mingyue, and I'm a craft enthusiast. I transmigrated on my way to set up a booth at an anime convention, with a shoulder bag full of merchandise. The bad news is, I seem to have arrived at the scene of a massacre. The place is covered with things that need to be censored, and the assassin in black is staring at me with a very sharp gaze. The good news is, I might still be able to survive, because the merchandise I'm carrying has come to life.

By "come to life," I mean it isn't made up of the crude, shoddy products I crafted anymore. It's become the real thing.

Thinking about how most of the goods in my bag are themed around Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, I suddenly feel like maybe I can get a little more ambitious.

Theme: People should learn to love themselves.
