A Teahouse Keeper's Journal

[Written and posted as I go, so no worries, I won't abandon it!] Original title: I Got Rich in Ancient Times with a Tea System 1. After transmigrating to another era, Ming Luo became the daughter of a modest family living in the city. Her family's tea shop was doing poorly and had piled up debts. Then a debt-collecting bully trashed the shop and ripped down its sign. Ming Luo: No big deal. I have a Tea System! She drove off the bully, earned money to pay back the debts, then used the System to unlock new ways to use tea. Getting rich was well within reach. She redeemed a bundle of tea-based goodies. Tea's natural properties made it easy to handle everyday nuisances with dehumidifiers, deodorizers, and preservatives. Tea was not only delicious, but useful, too. She unlocked [Slimming and Beauty Tea], whose fat-burning and beautifying effects were excellent. From then on, overweight people could finally shed their insecurities. She handed out [Cure-All Tea], which had remarkable medicinal effects. Cancer, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, rheumatism, heatstroke, chronic insomnia, and many other ailments were cured with a single dose. The people were finally free from the misery of illness. Everyone's fondness for Ming Luo skyrocketed, and the tea shop's business boomed, making her a fortune! Several years later: The once-dilapidated tea shop had not only made a fortune, but expanded into the capital's most prestigious teahouse. Ming Luo was personally selected by the emperor to supply tea for the imperial household. From then on, her fame spread throughout the land! Ming Luo raised an eyebrow. Easy peasy~ 2. Everyone knew that Lin Xing, the young prince of the Lin household, was handsome, accomplished in both letters and arms, and unquestionably the emperor's favorite. Unfortunately, he was aloof and cold toward others. That changed when he heard about Ming Luo, who ran a teahouse on her own. Lin Xing became her little shadow. "You're amazing, miss. I want to snuggle up to you~" Everyone was stunned. "Is this really the young prince?!" A clever, resilient beauty x a cold, love-struck prince Note: 1. A slow-paced slice-of-life story about everyday life among ordinary people in an ancient city, with child-rearing, farming, running a business, and plenty of warmth and bustle. 2. This is a fictional dynasty with plenty of creative liberties, so please don't overanalyze the historical details, cuties. 3. The male lead appears later, and the romance develops later, too.
