The Interdimensional Restaurant Starts in the Qin Dynasty

Blurb: Shi Shi and Shi Xiu stumble upon a restaurant that can travel between planes of existence. As the restaurant's head manager, Shi Shi is eager to get it up and running. But the deputy manager, Shi Xiu, says, "The food of this era has already been explored to its limits. We won't stand out here. Let's go somewhere we can really make a fortune." Shi Shi agrees, only to be taken to the Qin Dynasty, where there are no iron woks, cumin, chili peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, watermelons, or milk tea... "..." Shi Shi can't help raising a middle finger. "You really are a genius!" Later, after Shi Shi gets the restaurant on its feet and opens gateways to other historical planes, the restaurant is filled with scenes like these: Ying Zheng, with his striking eyes, asks, his eyes reddening, "What is this chili pepper? How come I've never seen one before?" Shi Shi says, "That's normal. Chili peppers didn't arrive in the Central Plains until the Ming Dynasty." Ying Zheng, who has unified all under heaven, gazes at the grilled lamb in his hand, wondering if he overlooked a fish called the Ming Dynasty. Liu Bang watches the First Emperor and the First Empress exchanging meaningful glances right in front of him, then downs three large cups of bubble tea through his tears. Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, from different timelines, exchange a look in the restaurant, then wordlessly order a pot of yin-yang hot pot. Li Qingzhao gazes at the tipsy figure before her and parts her vermilion lips. "To this day, I still think of Xiang Yu, who would rather die than cross the Yangtze." Xiang Yu: "...Can I still eat this meal?" Or will I be expected to meet my end as soon as I finish? [Heads-up: Some historical couples will be split up. This is a parallel world, entirely fictional, so don't take it as fact. The male lead is Shi Xiu, the deputy manager.] [New upcoming story: The Rich Family's Substitute White Moonlight Becomes a Star - Mary Sue, adored by everyone, with men competing for the heroine. Blurb: Yun Yan transmigrates into a novel as a stand-in, married off because she looks like the male lead's beloved white moonlight. And she isn't his only stand-in. Their rich-family routine is to play the white moonlight and claw at one another in jealous competition. Why waste her energy on that when she could earn and spend her own money? Yun Yan decides to use the male lead's family connections to return to show business, build her career, and forge a path unlike the one in the original story.

Male lead: "Allow me to introduce them. These are my sons." Yun Yan: ...Those bastards were acting me out all along. - I'm not getting divorced. You'll all call me Mom!!! (Not really.) [Reading guide: The heroine is a Mary Sue adored by everyone. The men compete for her in a battle of wits and wills, and they all love her one-sidedly. The story focuses on her career.
