The Sickly Beauty Makes a Fortune Forging Iron in Ancient Times

--The blurb for my next story, After Reincarnating as a Hapless Shadow Guard, is at the end. Please add it to your collection!--

After transmigrating, Yu Mian finds herself in the body of a frail beauty suffering from a deadly poison. Once she binds herself to a System, she learns that she must revive the ironworking craft of the present day to cure herself.

Yu Mian is poisoned, her father is frail, and the family has also adopted a bookish scholar. All three members of the household are sickly.

The blacksmith's shop looks like a junkyard. Yu Mian steels herself: "It's no big deal. I'm a passionate heroine!"

Even as a frail beauty, she has to grip that hammer tight!

While everyone else is still cooking with clay pots and pottery, the blacksmith's shop has already invented iron woks and spatulas.

Yu Mian: "How about some goose stewed in an iron wok?"

While the neighbors are still laboring in the fields, Yu Mian's family has time to relax and chat.

Yu Mian: "Busy season? I'm not busy. I've got new multifunctional farm tools, and they're super efficient."

When it's time to trade liquor with another country, Yu Mian brings out her invention, a simple pull-tab can. It won't break, even after a long journey over mountain roads.

Her business is booming. With a System and three sickly family members, she's somehow managed to make a fortune!

Her career is smooth sailing. The only thing Yu Mian worries about is the sickly scholar at home.

Yu Mian: "Do you think he likes me or not? If he doesn't, why does he spit out a mouthful of blood whenever I do? He just wants us to be husband and wife, to support each other through thick and thin."

System: "...Maybe."

Yu Mian: "Then why hasn't he confessed?"

The System suggests: "How about spending money on a card draw? If you pull his character card, you can see how much he likes you."

Yu Mian: "Sounds good."

Yu Mian confidently starts drawing, forgetting that the silver in her hand came from Bai Wu.

Meanwhile, Bai Wu is sitting at his desk when a transparent card suddenly appears before him.

It shows a portrait of Yu Mian.

Bai Wu looks at the final line: This character's affection for you is one hundred.

He puts down his pen, gathers every property deed and banknote he owns, and goes to marry her!

Everyone knows that a miracle doctor in Jiangnan once saw his entire family brutally murdered overnight.

No one could have guessed that years later, the top scholar favored by the new emperor would be the only son of the miracle doctor Bai.

The frail young man of the past had transformed into a powerful nobleman, sharp and imposing.

The only thing that never changed was that he always held the hand of that clever, frail young woman.

People in the capital all envy the blacksmith's good fortune, never knowing that through the dark years of the past, she was the one who lit a lamp, kindled a fire, and stayed by his side along that difficult road.

After Reincarnating as a Hapless Shadow Guard

Qin Fu's idea of a shadow guard: taciturn, skilled, appearing and disappearing without a trace, lurking in the dark, a mysterious and useful blade!

The shadow guard Qin Fu transmigrated into:

He wanders the streets and alleys, learns about the bandits from the old men and women at the market, and no one suspects him of ill intent;

He climbs onto rooftops and openly eavesdrops on the enemy's plans. When he leaves, he even gets caught on a tree branch, and no one notices him;

He takes devoted care of the consort who has come from afar for a political marriage, telling her jokes to cheer her up. The Crown Prince gets so jealous that he nearly chops off Qin Fu's head...

In the tenth year after Qin Fu transmigrated, the consort he had supported became empress. He rose to great heights, but only asked for an easy government post so he could return home and farm.

Before he left, the empress said, "Qin Fu, with your abilities, don't do any more of those sneaky, underhanded things."

Qin Fu protested, "Your Majesty, that's what shadow guards are supposed to do. Aside from you, no one can even notice me."

Ever since he arrived, he'd been saddled with the "hapless shadow guard" buff. Who could have guessed it would only stop working in front of her?

* A funny, easygoing male shadow guard and a gentle princess sent abroad for a political marriage

Theme: The spirit of craftsmanship never goes out of style
