A sweet and kind heroine who grows strong and independent × a cool, powerful hero who later becomes attentive and clingy

Jiang Zhongling transmigrates into a novel she's been reading, becoming a short-lived supporting character who shares her name.

In the novel, the sickly supporting character is despised by her family and married off to the cold-faced general, the male lead, who is famous for driving his wives to an early grave. She dies of illness on her wedding night. Jiang Zhongling arrives just as the wedding day begins.

Jiang Zhongling: ...

Forget it. I don't care anymore. I'll strike a pretty pose and die peacefully.

Fortunately, there's always a way out. After transmigrating, Jiang Zhongling gets bound to a sign-in System. Complete sign-in tasks to earn life points, and living to a ripe old age is no dream!

System: There are also all kinds of random rewards and prize draws!

Task One: Say cheesy pickup lines to the male lead for three minutes.

Jiang Zhongling looks at the male lead, whose expression is cold and whose presence is intimidating, and swallows nervously.

Task Two: Do the seaweed dance in front of the heroine.

Jiang Zhongling looks at the heroine, whose hand rests on the hilt of her sword, and feels tears streaming down inside.

Task Three: Give the book's wicked supporting woman a loving hug~

Looking at the wicked supporting woman, who holds a dagger in one hand and a bowl of poison in the other, Jiang Zhongling silently wails

Task N: ...

Faced with an endless stream of sign-in tasks, Jiang Zhongling has one thing to say

I'm signing in to stay alive, not to die faster and more miserably!

Some time later:

Jiang Zhongling notices that everyone looks at her differently

Male lead: What kind of peerless cutie is my wife? I want to cuddle her.

Heroine: So cute. I want to squish her.

Wicked supporting woman: Hug me.

Jiang Zhongling: I'm only doing this for the sign-in tasks! Don't come any closer!

Pre-release: The First Female Chef Under Heaven

Food blogger Tong Shiyao wakes up to find she's transmigrated into the body of an amnesiac farmer's adopted daughter, whose life is miserable.

Her older sister insults her, her little brother bullies her, and her family dumps all the dirty, exhausting work on her. To top it all off, her greedy adoptive parents plan to sell her to a fifty-year-old cripple in the neighboring village as his bride!

How could she put up with that?

Tong Shiyao first cuts ties with her awful relatives, then uses her incredible cooking skills to build a fortune in ancient times.

At first, everyone secretly waits for Tong Shiyao to make a fool of herself. "What can a country girl possibly accomplish?"

Snowflake mochi, watermelon jelly, roujiamo, lotus dumplings, snowflake crisps. One novel, delicious snack after another wins everyone over to Tong Shiyao, and a food craze sweeps the populace.

Tong Shiyao's business keeps growing, from a street stall to a restaurant, then to a nationwide chain of taverns. She makes a fortune, and even the emperor bestows upon her the title of First Female Chef Under Heaven.

Once her career is thriving and she's got plenty to eat and wear, Tong Shiyao decides it's time to get a husband.

The handsome amnesiac beggar she's picked up seems like a good choice.

After they marry, Tong Shiyao sees her little husband waiting at home for her every day, looking utterly forlorn, and suggests:

"Husband, why don't you find something to do?"

To her surprise, her sweet, docile husband falls silent for a long while before replying, "You're right, dear. I should help my imperial brother with some of his duties."

Tong Shiyao: ???

Far away in the imperial palace, the emperor gazes sadly at the mountain of memorials:

His younger brother pretended to be a beggar to win over his wife, then dumped all his official duties on me. What am I supposed to do?

Theme: Even in an unfamiliar era, you can find happiness if you live well and work hard.
