The Lady of the House Has It Easy (Gourmet Food)

There’s a historical-to-modern food novel coming up in the author’s collection. If you like it, you can add it to your favorites. I’ll start the new one as soon as this book is finished.

After transmigrating into a book, Cheng Xi goes straight from an unmarried young woman to the mother of two children.

Clutching the dozen or so copper coins in her pocket, Cheng Xi can only say that this is really tough.

Luckily, she has excellent cooking skills. She sells everything back home, goes to the city, and opens a little eatery. She makes steamed dried greens, eggplant with quail, five-spice cakes, three-boiled melon...

The eatery grows into a restaurant, and its reputation keeps growing. Her eldest son gradually gets back on the right path, and Cheng Xi starts thinking she can retire behind the scenes and enjoy a lazy life. Then a man who disappeared more than ten years ago shows up at her door in full military uniform. “Wife, I’m hungry!”

???

Bro, I only want to raise your kids. I don’t want to raise you too!

Later, Cheng Xi realizes that ever since she took in a certain killer, her luck has been getting better and better. Her eldest son, who had been held back, becomes a government official. Her withdrawn younger son becomes a disciple of a reclusive master, and even the hooligans who used to loiter outside the inn looking for trouble have vanished.

Maybe she should keep raising him?

1. The female lead is always the female lead.

2. The male lead faked his death, really disappeared, and really lost his memory.

3. A long, laid-back farming story.

A recommendation for my good friend’s cute, lighthearted novel.

So Emperor Kangxi Is My Desk Mate (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

After transmigrating to the Qing Dynasty and becoming the bandit chief of somewhere in Yunnan, Le Zhen spends her days worrying about how not to become collateral damage during the Revolt of the Three Feudatories.

Later, she realizes she doesn’t need to worry about it at all. Her bandit gang can barely feed itself, so making money and running away is the better plan.

But even fleeing doesn’t go smoothly. After robbing Emperor Kangxi, who is traveling incognito on a mountain road, Le Zhen says:

“Your Majesty, how about we start by discussing the core socialist values...”

Kangxi: “Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony?”

Le Zhen: ???

After spending so many years transmigrated to the modern world, Kangxi has a head full of modern civilization. Suddenly returning to the Qing Dynasty as the reigning emperor makes him want to quit.

But he has to manage the people’s livelihoods, prevent smallpox, withdraw the Three Feudatories...

So Kangxi decides to launch his grand incognito tour ahead of schedule, and “wipe out some bandits” along the way.

But this bandit chief looks a little like his desk mate.

Theme: No one’s life is smooth sailing, and no one’s life is perfectly calm. When you’re dragged into a whirlpool, I hope you can be like the protagonist of this novel: never give up, never lose hope, and live a life that shines.
