Food blogger Qiao Yin transmigrates into an inconsequential side character in an old-fashioned wish-fulfillment novel. Someone poisons the fishpond belonging to her family, their business goes bankrupt, her parents die, and the family is buried in debt.

Qiao Yin: ...How am I supposed to deal with this?

After a torrential rain, the stagnant fishpond comes to life, and, incredibly, begins producing all kinds of live seafood.

Qiao Yin's eyes light up as she sharpens her knives and turns to the pond: Seafood delicacies? I'll take them!

Garlic-steamed scallops, assorted sea cucumber soup, teriyaki grilled oysters, spicy lobster, stir-fried razor clams with black bean and chili, squid flowers in spicy bean sauce...

With all kinds of rare seafood, Qiao Yin's little eatery becomes more and more popular. She buys up storefronts, opens a chain, and makes a fortune.

Later, diners notice that a handsome young man has suddenly appeared at Qiao's Restaurant.

Someone recognizes him: Isn't that Mu Xiaolang, the hunter who lives next door to the Qiao residence?

Qiao Yin: I meant to buy his game, but somehow I ended up giving him my heart!

Mu Yao: My lady, you're joking. You're the one who said we were a perfect match made in heaven, one of us with mountain delicacies and the other with seafood.

Qiao Yin: ...

That's not what you said last night!

A clever, talkative little miser and a devoted, scheming fox

1v1, both pure

Blurb for the upcoming novel After Being Betrayed, I Married a Monk:

Qin Yi was promised to Zhou Zizhuo as a child, but even after they married, she never managed to win his heart.

She knew full well that he had someone else in his heart.

On their wedding night, Zhou Zizhuo left her alone to spend the night by herself, and from then on, he never once set foot in her room.

Even so, she accepted it.

She set aside all her pride and did everything she could to please him. Eventually, she won a little of his affection.

Then the woman he had always longed for returned, and all her efforts became a joke.

*

In Zhou Zizhuo's eyes, Qin Yi was a good wife.

She was beautiful and gentle, and everyone said he was lucky to have married such a wonderful woman.

But he could never forget the spirited, lively woman in his heart. He often thought that if not for Qin Yi, he might already have spent his life with her.

It wasn't until Qin Yi died in a great fire that he realized, like a madman, that he couldn't live without her.

His longing was bone-deep, but his beloved had already passed away.

*

Rumors in the capital say that a woman who looks just like Qin Yi lives at Ciyun Temple.

But that woman is dazzlingly beautiful and full of passion, nothing like the gentle Qin Yi who died.

Some say she has a complicated relationship with Guannan, the holy monk of the current dynasty.

Zhou Zizhuo rushes to the temple in the middle of the night. After many twists and turns, he finally sees the face that has appeared in his dreams thousands of times.

He recognizes her at once: It's his Yi'er.

Just as he is about to approach, a solemn, detached Buddhist monk steps in his way and says coldly, "Please mind your manners, sir."

Jealousy consumes him. His eyes red, he demands, "Do you know he's a monk?"

Qin Yi nestles bonelessly in the monk's arms. Her eyes are bright, her teeth pearly, and she smiles like a flower. "You needn't worry, sir. He has already left the monastery for me."
