Blurb for this book:

The fussy Wen Jin transmigrates into a book, becoming a spoiled cannon-fodder character in a period novel who shares her name.

The original character's beloved married someone else, so she quit school in a fit of pique and turned around to marry a stuttering man from the village.

The man was awkward and bad at expressing himself, but he treated her wonderfully.

But the original character had someone else in her heart, so she looked down on the uneducated, rough country bumpkin who couldn't speak properly. She was always picking fights and making life at home miserable.

Later, the female lead, her sister-in-law, returned reborn and gave her a series of face-slappings. Her family also lost all faith in her and left her behind.

Looking at the Xie family in their ugly, faded clothes, Wen Jin decided to use the plot to improve their lives.

After all, life would be much more comfortable once their living conditions improved.

.

From the moment Wen Jin married, everyone in Shangyou Village waited to see her make a fool of herself. With that young lady from the Wen family and her spoiled temper, the Xie family was in for a rough time.

Sure enough...

"I want hawthorns. Fresh ones, not from yesterday. The best ones are picked in the morning with dew still on them," Wen Jin told the man.

Xie Dong nodded again and again. At dawn the next day, he got up and went into the hills to pick hawthorns.

"The flowers at Shanghewan look best in the evening. I want some," Wen Jin said coyly to the man.

Without a word, he went to the river that very day and waited for the sunset.

"I want a bolt of fabric." Wen Jin took the man's hand and watched him flounder helplessly. She gave his hand two little tugs. "Will you?"

"O-okay... I'll... I'll get it," the man replied, blushing and stammering. The next day, he took the money he'd saved for ages into town and bought a bolt of fabric.

The villagers started gossiping. They said she was extravagant, didn't care about her husband's hard work or the household, and would be abandoned sooner or later.

Later, the hawthorns Wen Jin loved became incredibly valuable, the flowers she liked turned out to be priceless medicinal herbs, and the clothes she made from that fabric caught the eye of a wealthy businessman in the city, who paid her to design for him.

The people who'd once laughed at her were left envious, with their faces stinging.

.

After Xie Chunzhi was reborn, the first thing she wanted to do was keep her family away from Wen Jin, the spoiled brat.

But she found that everything her sister-in-law asked for later turned out to be worth a fortune.

The family grew better off by the day, making everyone else jealous.

Xie Chunzhi decided she could put up with her sister-in-law's little temper after all.

Spoiled, fussy young lady x practical, hardworking country bumpkin

Upcoming novel: This Little Junior Sister Is Much Too Slow

Blurb:

Yan Qingqing was the last descendant of a family of puppet makers. When she was six, people from Tianji Island captured her and refined her into a puppet, turning her into a deadly weapon.

During the War of Chaos, the world was transformed. She took a blow for her master, and her soul scattered.

When she awoke, she was a baby. Yan Qingqing stared blankly at the people smiling around her.

.

The third elder of Xuanyu Sect went to fight in the War of Chaos and never returned, leaving behind a daughter who was just a month old.

The entire sect decided to raise the child well.

But little Qingqing never cried or fussed, only stared blankly like a wooden doll. At sixteen, she still hadn't attained enlightenment, let alone cultivated any powers.

Seeing their little junior niece in this state, the sect elders reflected on their mistakes and decided to leave her in the care of the sect's most reliable senior disciple.

Yan Qingqing, blank-faced: Huh?

.

Xu Jinglu had been in the cultivation world for almost a hundred years and was the sect's most reliable senior disciple.

He was kind to everyone, gentle and powerful, trusted by his master and uncles, and respected by his fellow disciples. He was a leading figure among the sect's younger generation.

One day, an uncle from the sect asked him to look after the little junior sister who had been mentally impaired since childhood, innocent and naive, commonly known as a fool.

Xu Jinglu: ...

I do everything, but this... is a bit much! I'm not a nanny!

After meeting his adorable, dazed little junior sister, Xu Jinglu announced, "I guess I could be a stay-at-home dad."

.

Like everyone else in the sect, Xu Jinglu thought his little junior sister was a dazed weakling.

That is, until the day they went down the mountain to gain experience, fell into a demon clan trap, and were at death's door

His little junior sister lifted a finger and summoned a hundred dried corpses. With just one move, she turned the situation around.

Xu Jinglu: ...

My junior sister has been acting this whole time!

Reader's guide:

1. A transmigrator with a snarky inner voice, extremely capable but timid, always convinced he's a cannon-fodder male supporting character: the ultra-reliable senior disciple who is basically a stay-at-home dad.

2. A reborn puppet master who lost her soul, seems dazed but is actually clever, usually a weakling but turns into a powerhouse at crucial moments and wipes out the riffraff.

3. A silly, irreverent cultivation story with missions and new maps.

4. Romance is light in the early story, since the little junior sister is so dazed.

Theme: Build a prosperous life and achieve a comfortable standard of living
