Blurb:

Luo Qing, the youngest winner of the perfume world’s Oscar, transmigrates into a book and wakes up as a Cinderella in ancient times... only she’s an upgraded version. First, her vicious stepsister slashes her face. Then her husband’s wife marries her off (sells her) as a concubine to a butcher.

Luo Qing: As a top perfumer with a virtual perfume-making machine at my disposal, my life is destined to be different!

A fragrance shop called Fragrance Sequence opens in the capital, selling products that are "unlike anything anyone has ever heard of":

Red Glow Citrus, One True Love Pomelo, Midnight Lily, Snowmelt White Tea;

Perfumes, essential oils, floral waters;

Aquatic, woody, and blue notes.

A wave of fragrance quickly sweeps through the capital, and no one can get enough!

You can go without hairpins and jewelry, but you can’t go without perfume. You can go without makeup, but you must carry essential oils.

It’s even said that the princess specifically asked for "Wildly in Love with Wormwood" as part of her dowry,

and that even a tael of gold from the noble consort couldn’t buy a tael of "Rose Emperor."

Luo Qing once again becomes a highly sought-after master. The powerful and wealthy beg and plead, all hoping to get a custom fragrance.

Just as Luo Qing is enjoying the fame and fortune, "bad news" arrives: she has been added to the Crown Prince’s consort selection list.

Rumor has it that the Crown Prince spends all his time among the flowers, a womanizer without equal, past or future.

Luo Qing: This is ridiculous!

Luo Qing sponsors a poor scholar who works part-time at a flower shop across from Fragrance Sequence.

The scholar gives Luo Qing a four-leaf clover and says that any wish made to it will come true.

Luo Qing: I hope the scoundrel bothering me goes as far away as possible.

The scoundrel kneels at the shop entrance. "Great-aunt, I’ll never dare do it again!"

It really works?

Luo Qing: I want more kinds of plants to use in my fragrances.

An envoy from Yunnan brings a whole cart of exotic flowers and plants and carries them straight into her shop without a word.

Incredible!

Luo Qing: I don’t want to take part in the selection. Hurry up and cross my name off the Crown Princess list.

The next day, the Crown Princess’s wedding procession blocks the shop entrance. Mu Jiu arrives with three hundred flower children, holding golden roses. "Luoluo, what was it you said you didn’t want?"

Luo Qing blushes bright red. "I can’t believe I trusted you!"

Coming soon: The Little Psychic Chef in Ancient Times (Food)

Food blogger Xiang Tao transmigrates, bringing her little kitten, Chunjuan, along with her. When she opens her eyes, she has become the "Tofu Beauty" who sells tofu in a small town on the border of ancient Liang.

The original owner couldn’t do a thing and relied entirely on low-cut clothes to attract customers.

Xiang Tao: "I’m going to clean up this industry’s bad practices!" She splashes a basin of brine, sending every last tomcat and stray dog who comes to her door running.

Not long after, the tofu shop gets a complete makeover and becomes Xiang Tao’s Food House.

Gold Ingot Cabbage, Jade Kiln Chicken, Five-Color Dumplings

Caramel Pudding, Strawberry Milkshake, Cheeseburgers

Enjoying a meal cooked by Xiang Tao at her food house becomes a happier occasion than the New Year.

Business takes off, attracting Shao Bin, the Marquis of Zhenyuan. They say the marquis has a volatile temper and can go mad at any moment.

The crazy marquis even brings a huge wolfdog with him when he comes to eat. Xiang Tao picks up her puffed-up Chunjuan and nervously approaches. "What can I do for you, Marquis?"

Shao Bin looks irritable. "You’re a guide, and your psychic form is a cat? Hurry up and give me psychic guidance!"

Xiang Tao: "What?"

Shao Bin was a disposable male Sentinel protagonist in a Sentinel-Guide novel. After being betrayed by his Guide, he went mad and died young. Unexpectedly, he transmigrates into Liang, a dynasty where humanity hasn’t yet evolved. There are no Sentinels, let alone Guides.

Just as Shao Bin braces himself for the agony of going mad and dying, he hears in his despair that the proprietress of Xiang Tao’s Food House is a "Guide." Every customer who has eaten there looks refreshed and wears a beaming smile.

Shao Bin: "This time, I absolutely won’t let her get away!"

The Marquis of Zhenyuan becomes a regular at Xiang Tao’s Food House, eating, drinking, and cuddling close, from winter all the way through summer.

Shao Bin gets fairer and fatter, and with a cat in his arms, he’s practically a different person.

Shao Bin gazes at Xiang Tao with deep affection. "Thank you, my Guide. The psychic guidance you give me is the source of my life."

Xiang Tao: "You make it sound so dramatic. You’re just a foodie who keeps coming here to satisfy your cravings."

Shao Bin: "I’m willing to form a permanent bond with you and never leave you, for the rest of my life."

Xiang Tao rubs her forehead. "Huh? How did you end up deciding you want me on the menu?"

Message: Never give up in difficult times, and you’ll eventually find success and love.
