[Coming Soon: "I'm Clumsy, but I've Taken Over the Monster Bureau Cafeteria!" / "The Reborn Brat Protects Her Mom with All Her Might on a Dating Show"]
Mingya High is an elite school, full of students from wealthy and powerful families. Every one of them is a dazzling young prodigy with a bright future ahead of them...
Unfortunately, this is a tragic novel.
The original story has all the ingredients: angsty youth, wealthy-family melodrama, and tortured romance. By the end, none of the main characters survive.
"..."
Wen Xi is a witch. She didn't follow the usual script: she didn't transmigrate into the sweet, innocent heroine, nor did she become the fake heiress villainess.
She inherited this elite school, and her current identity is the ultimate boss.
The principal!
On the very first day after transmigrating into the book, she ripped it up without a trace of emotion.
She couldn't put up with this plot, or these little brats. Not a single one of them.
Shen Zhuo, the rebellious male lead with a tragic past, refuses to bow to anyone.
Xu Wenyi, a top student and heir to a wealthy family, is a born genius who treats school as nothing but a game.
Bai Yueqi, the universally adored school beauty and female lead, is forever caught up in melodrama.
Zheng Jiawen, the true heiress who has returned reborn and is obsessed with face-slapping the villains...
Wen Xi: ???
They're in high school, so why aren't they studying? Why are they obsessed with courting disaster?
Do they have too little homework, or is nobody keeping an eye on them?
If nobody else will, she will.
Before the semester was even halfway over, the results were already impressive...
One morning, the four main characters happened to meet at the school gates.
According to the original story, a melodramatic showdown was about to begin.
But instead...
Shen Zhuo grabbed Xu Wenyi with a fierce scowl. "Hey! Can you stop hanging around Teacher Wen all the time?"
Xu Wenyi innocently pushed up his glasses. "Got it. I'll pass that along when I go to her place for dinner tonight."
Bai Yueqi rolled her eyes in disgust. "Why are two grown men so clingy? Why is Teacher Wen so nice to them?"
Zheng Jiawen quietly made a note. "All three of them are so childish. I'm going to tell Teacher Wen on them!"
The whole school: Were they bewitched or possessed?!
But Principal Wen is so charming. Who could possibly not love her?
-
Wen Xi's younger brother also goes to Mingya. He's disliked these people for ages.
What's wrong with them? Do they not have sisters of their own? Why are they all fighting him for her? Wen Xi is his sister, and his alone!
Wen Xi is the only one who's very pleased to see their perfect attendance records this month.
She takes out her phone and calmly replies to the date invitations: "School policy prohibits teachers from dating students' parents."
Reader's guide:
* The male lead isn't mentioned in the blurb. High school students should study hard and avoid dating.

Coming Soon: "I'm Clumsy, but I've Taken Over the Monster Bureau Cafeteria!"
Blurb:
On the very first day after Ling Qi transmigrated here, she was forced to take over the cafeteria her family had contracted to run.
The workplace was way out in the middle of nowhere.
There were no shops nearby, and no subway in sight.
You couldn't order takeout or get a ride through an app.
The employees were picky and bad-tempered. In a single week, they drove off five chefs. The burly men they cursed out all ended up in tears, and even when Ling Qi offered them more money, they still refused to work there.
At first, Ling Qi refused to believe it was that bad.
Until she saw an employee who'd eaten a chili pepper breathe fire...
Ling Qi, a lowly wage slave who'd suffered through the 996 work schedule in her previous life, never imagined that a work environment could be this hostile!
*
With no other choice, Ling Qi decided to pick up a spatula and cook for herself, as long as they didn't mind that she was hopeless in the kitchen.
On her first day cooking, Ling Qi burned the beef stir-fry. She thought that was the end of it.
But then more and more people started eating at the cafeteria, and the menu requests turned into this...
"I absolutely love this mango and lychee beef stir-fry!"
"Chef! Why isn't there any pork intestine bread roll today?"
"Ten orders of chilled dried shrimp, please!"
"Cilantro ice cream!!!"
Ling Qi thought her business venture had failed, but her unconventional approach somehow made her a star chef and sent her career to new heights.
She looked at the dark, scheming bureau chief who came to eat at the cafeteria every day. "Why are your monster clans' tastes so... unusual?"
