The Little Mermaid Goes Interstellar Viral with Her Food Livestream

(The full story is only 5!)

Blurb:

When Hua Ran wakes up, she discovers that the world has changed.

The land is barren, the oceans lifeless, and wanted notices for merfolk are plastered all over the Star Network.

To survive, Hua Ran has no choice but to hide her tail and follow the System into the world of food livestreaming.

At first:

Netizens: "It's the year 9622 of the interstellar era. Why are people still dreaming of ditching nutrient solutions to eat other food?"

Plant expert: "Interstellar pollution has reached 120%. Plants can't grow. Bringing back the era of growing flowers and making food is impossible."

Livestream platform assistant: "Our review has found that this streamer is using fake, edited images to attract viewers. The platform will suspend her livestreaming privileges for 72 hours."

Faced with a flood of abuse and a hostile environment, Hua Ran simply smiles.

With the System's help, she completes missions, reclaims the land, grows crops, and opens the first food-tasting shop in the interstellar era.

Later:

Netizens: "Why is the blogger's shop limited to one portion per person? It's nowhere near enough!"

They offer Hua Ran huge sums of money, begging her to sell them more food.

Plant expert: "The official test results are in. One hundred grams of food contains as much energy as one hundred bottles of premium nutrient solution."

They visit her again and again, hoping to recruit her to their research team.

Livestream platform assistant: "All of this streamer's replays are now on the platform's homepage. You can watch them anytime!"

They happily eat their words.

Hua Ran's food livestreams make her famous, and she thinks she no longer has to worry about her life being in danger. Then one day, she has a little too much to drink on livestream, and a tail appears on screen...

The entire interstellar world goes wild, and the story stays at the top of the trending searches.

Hua Ran packs her bags in the middle of the night, ready to flee the planet.

But when she opens the door, she finds the head of the Star Army and his subordinates waiting outside.

Hua Ran: "I choose to confess and ask for leniency." She raises her hands in surrender.

Commander: "Welcome home to the royal family, Your Highness, the mermaid princess. I am your escort captain for this journey."

Hua Ran: ???

The princess who ran away from the royal family turns out to be me!

Note:

Many original worldbuilding details!

A strong focus on food, with a slow-burn romance.

One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first.

Most of the recipes in the story are from online sources and aren't original; a few come from everyday family cooking.

Life is exhausting, so let good food bring you comfort. I hope everyone can be happy!

[Upcoming 1] The Lord Is Farming Again [World-Building]

Blurb:

Jiang Miao, a top research scientist, transmigrates into a book after binding herself to a System, becoming a cannon-fodder lord in an apocalypse survival story.

According to the plot, her base will soon be attacked by a zombie riot. People will be unable to go out to find supplies, and will starve to death, while the base rapidly declines and disappears.

To help the residents of her base survive, Jiang Miao works through the night on experiments and kicks off a frantic campaign of infrastructure-building and farming.

System: [Thicken the city walls. Base defenses x3.]

System: [Purify the water source. Vitality in the water x5.]

System: [The rice has ripened. Energy after consumption x8.]

System: [...]

When the zombie riot arrives, everyone prepares for battle.

Jiang Miao stands atop a tower, gripping a new weapon. Before she can even attack, she sees the zombies take a bite out of the city wall and run away.

For some time afterward, the zombies keep repeating the same move.

Jiang Miao: This must be a zombie plot. I can't stop building infrastructure and farming!

And so the other bases watch helplessly as Base Nine grows stronger the more the zombies attack it.

*

At first:

Base One: "Base Nine is under attack by zombies. If Nine agrees to handle our supply-gathering for three years, we can provide weapons support."

Base Three: "The zombie riot has reached a danger level of 120. Nine should just give up. If the residents can make it to Three alive, we'll take them in."

Base Sixteen: "If Lord Nine apologizes to our lord's wife, we'll consider a supply drop."

Later:

Base One: "The zombie riot is spreading. Base One requests support from Nine. We'll give you all our weapons factories!"

Base Three: "We've suffered soil and water pollution. We request support from Nine and will submit unconditionally!"

Base Sixteen: "We've already dismissed our former lord. We apologize for our earlier recklessness and ignorance, and hope to receive help from Nine!"

Base Nine rises to become the leading base in the apocalypse, free of its former worries.

But Jiang Miao has a new problem: why are the zombies who bit the city wall starting to look more and more human?

Infrastructure-building fanatic, top scientist heroine x defiant, ruthless lone-wolf hero

Both leads are each other's first.

A brainless, feel-good story. The heroine is the best, period.

[Upcoming 2] The Contrast-Group Witch Takes the Entertainment Industry by Storm After Transmigrating into a Book

Blurb:

The night before the socially anxious witch Tong Yin is due to fight a knight, she accidentally transmigrates into a novel, becoming the vicious supporting female character whose role is to make the heroine shine.

The heroine is her half-sister, raised in a big city from childhood, capable and well-read. Tong Yin, meanwhile, is a nobody left behind with her grandmother in the countryside by her parents. She can't do anything, and she's cruel-hearted, too.

In the story, the two of them join a survival reality show in the wilderness. Tong Yin tries hard to stand out, but everything she says and does only serves as a contrast to the heroine, drawing a torrent of abuse from netizens. In the end, she becomes twisted and hurts both herself and others.

Tong Yin, who has just transmigrated on the first day of filming: ?

Is it too late to quit?

*

At first, Tong Yin decides to go into the wilderness alone just to stay away from the heroine.

But little by little, she realizes the show isn't all bad.

There's fertile soil, good seeds, pretty flowers, and sweet spring water. Towering trees shade the area, and best of all, there's no adventurous princess or her love-struck knight!

A peaceful farming life without anyone bothering her: this is practically a home tailor-made for a socially anxious witch!

Tong Yin is delighted to lie flat.

Huh? Why do the show guests who hate me keep showing up outside my cabin? And why are they always shamelessly mooching off my meals?

What's more, netizens are all saying they want to be my fans and asking me to sign things with magical blessings!

Fine. Since the guests keep finding pretty flowers for me outside the show, I'll let you have some food. And since my fans keep praising my gardening skills, I don't mind giving your autographs a little magical protection.

Just as Sang Yance thinks he will spend his whole life in this dazed, miserable state, a young girl in a black cloak suddenly appears.

She says, "You grew so many little mushrooms! That's amazing!"

She also says, "Your surname is Sang? Sweet mulberry-leaf soup is my absolute favorite!"

In an instant, Sang Yance makes peace with his surname and the rotting, stinking world inside his mind.
