Springtime Brings a Bountiful Harvest
Blurb 1: Tsundere, innocent Emperor of Fengdu Yan Changan x silver-tongued black lotus Xi Lansi
Blurb 1:
Xi Lansi transmigrated. Was she going to return to ancient times and become the daughter of the prime minister? No. The Host had died the day she transmigrated, and now she was half human, half ghost, drifting around the underworld. So, with money on her mind, she rolled up her sleeves and set out to make a living and build a career, farming as she searched for the truth about her death.
Rumors had been flying ever since her first day in the underworld.
Rumor one:
“I heard the mighty Emperor of Fengdu bought his darling wife the biggest shop in the ghost market to make her happy!”
“What? Our Lord has someone he likes?”
Rumor two:
“I heard our Lord is pining all alone. That young lady doesn't have him in her heart at all.”
“Our poor Lord QVQ!”
Rumor three:
“I heard that young lady is beautiful, well-mannered, and a great cook. She opened a noodle shop with Meng Po. Besides plain noodles, they have tomato and egg noodles, dough-drop soup, instant noodles...”
“How unusual! I've never heard of those before. Let's go check it out!”
Rumor four:
“I heard the owner of the Xianghuan Tower got his partner stolen! That young lady is getting between them. The proprietress has been secretly in love with Lord for ages, but Lord fell for the newly arrived Miss Xi. And Miss Xi actually likes the proprietress!”
“What did you say? A love triangle? Miss Xi likes the proprietress? Don't spread such nonsense. This is outrageous!”
Rumor five:
“I heard Miss Xi went to the human world to farm, and even whisked Lord away with her. He's out there plowing the fields with an ox right now!”
“Hahahahaha! Really? We have to go see the fun too!”
Blurb 2:
Xi Lansi sets the record straight
Rumor one:
Xi Lansi: “I only made up that story about the ghost-market shop because I had no choice if I wanted to make money in the underworld. I said Lord was in love with me and gave me the shop to cheer me up.”
Yan Changan: “That's not a rumor. I like her.”
Rumor two:
Xi Lansi: “Lord really is pining all alone! I swear!”
Yan Changan: “She's telling the truth.”
Rumor three:
Xi Lansi: “I really am... hee hee, the perfect young lady!”
Yan Changan: “She's skillful and clever, beautiful as an immortal, radiant as spring blossoms, lovely inside and out, capable and sharp, blessed with the heart of an orchid and the wisdom of a sage...”
Xi Lansi: “Stop! That's enough! QAQ, that's plenty!”
Rumor four:
Xi Lansi: “This is the most ridiculous rumor of all! Let me say it again: I like men! Handsome men!”
Yan Changan: “She says she likes me.”
Xi Lansi: “I do not!”
Rumor five:
Xi Lansi: “The weather is lovely this year, and everything is growing. The forests are full of life, so it's a good time to turn the soil, plant rice, build trellises, and grow vegetables! I couldn't keep up on my own, so he said he'd help me farm and weed. I didn't force him! I'm innocent!”
Yan Changan: “I volunteered! I volunteered!”
Highlights:
1. A warm, sweet farming story, with a love that spans two lifetimes.
2. One-on-one romance, both leads devoted only to each other.
3. The setting in this story is entirely made up. Please don't overanalyze it!
