After many discussions with my editor, I ultimately decided to unlock the novel. I've wanted to revise it for a long time, but both the golden finger and the structure and storytelling need changes. Revising it would basically mean rewriting the whole thing... I'm truly sorry to everyone who loves this story. I still want to write about a woman becoming a princess consort, so next time I'll think things through more carefully before I start. I'm sorry, everyone.
[Naive, Sincere, Honest 1 x Scheming, Suspicious, Tsundere Princess 0] [I'm Terrible at Writing Blurbs] [A Steady Six Thousand Words a Day]
Wen Qingwan was betrayed in the apocalypse. After she died, she discovered that she had transmigrated and been bound to a System.
The System gave her a pocket-space farm and told her that if she helped the princess successfully ascend the throne, she would earn a second chance at life and could enjoy a good life in ancient times.
By raising the princess's affection for her, Wen Qingwan kept drawing cards, pulling out all sorts of pigs, cattle, horses, and sheep.
When her family ran out of rice, she pulled a bag of clean, hulled white rice from her left hand to cook porridge and rice.
When her family ran out of money, she sold ten bags of cornmeal with her right hand to buy medicine.
Later, the princess said she would make Wen Qingwan her consort.
Wen Qingwan: What's the difference between selling myself and being sold?
Yu Ke was reborn.
In her previous life, the scoundrel Wen Qingwan was bought off by the emperor and secretly leaked information, ruining her rebellion. Even after ascending the throne, having Wen Qingwan torn apart by five horses hadn't been enough to satisfy her rage.
But now Wen Qingwan had changed. She no longer drank or gambled, her appearance changed day by day, and she had gained the ability to conjure things out of thin air. She sincerely helped Yu Ke with her plans for the throne.
At first, Yu Ke thought she was a monster. Later, she decided her consort was an immortal who had descended to the mortal world to undergo a trial.
Monsters could ascend to immortality, and immortals would return to the heavens. But Yu Ke didn't want her to leave. She had to find a way to keep her here forever.
The princess ascended the throne without a hitch, and the whole realm celebrated. When Wen Qingwan learned that the coronation and empress-making ceremonies would be held at the same time, her heart sank.
It seemed her time as consort had come to an end. She left the palace and went to settle in a remote frontier region.
But the emperor caught up and clamped a hand around her wrist. Yu Ke's eyes were red as she said, "I'm carrying your child. Is abandoning your wife and child what you call taking responsibility?"
Wen Qingwan froze.
"C-Carrying what?"
Weren't they both women? How could one of them get pregnant?

My next novel will be A Cannon-Fodder Alpha Transmigrates into a Business Novel's Villain. It is also set in an ancient ABO world, with a business-management plot. Blurb below.
Xiao Huaizhen died unexpectedly and transmigrated into an ancient ABO novel as a cannon-fodder scumbag Alpha destined to be the villain's downfall.
The original owner was a down-on-his-luck member of a noble family. He married a merchant's daughter for her money, intending to live off her wealth. He gambled away the family fortune, let his mother torment his wife, and not only planned to take a concubine, but also to sell his wife's younger sister for cash.
In the end, the villain Xue Lingyue, driven to the brink by hatred, poisoned and strangled him, killed his entire family, and tossed their bodies into the mountains to feed the wolves.
When Xiao Huaizhen arrived, she was holding the sister, who had been drugged unconscious, and preparing to sell her to a brothel.
When she got home, the villain would offer her a bowl of drugged sweet soup and send her on her way.
Remembering how the story ended, Xiao Huaizhen turned around and ran with the girl in her arms.
She wasn't ready to die!
Back at home, Xiao Huaizhen carefully pushed away the sweet soup and forced a smile. "If you want a divorce..."
Before she could finish, a voice suddenly rang out in her mind.
[Ding! Congratulations on binding the Restaurant Management System. SSR-level manager detected. Recruit her immediately.]
Xiao Huaizhen remembered Xue Lingyue's glorious achievements in the original story: she rose to become an imperial merchant, with branches spread across the land. The words on Xiao Huaizhen's lips suddenly took a different turn.
"Divorce is absolutely out of the question. I can't live without you! From now on, I'll turn over a new leaf and be a good person."
Xue Lingyue looked at the sweet soup, her smile growing cold.
Xue Lingyue realized that her wife, who used to hit her and gamble all the time, had changed.
Instead of looking down on business as beneath her, she focused wholeheartedly on restoring the restaurant. She hired a doctor to help Xue Lingyue recover her health, got a tutor to teach her younger sister, and even fought with her own mother to protect her.
Xue Lingyue thought she was putting on another act to trick her out of her dowry. She never expected her to even make connections with a prince and get Xue Lingyue's lowly registered status changed.
Xue Lingyue watched as Xiao Huaizhen smiled proudly and said, "Now no one can bully you, big sister. We'll split the restaurant's profits fifty-fifty!"
So she was still after money after all...
Later, Xue Lingyue restored the restaurant's reputation and expanded its business far and wide. Xiao Huaizhen was made a prince by the new emperor, and all the people who had once looked down on her flocked back, turning provocative looks on Xue Lingyue.
"A prince has far too high a status to keep a merchant as his wife. Of course she'll divorce her and marry again."
Xue Lingyue turned deathly pale and clutched Xiao Huaizhen's wrist. "I can make money. I have lots of money. Don't..." leave me.
Xiao Huaizhen said in surprise, "Don't what, big sister? I asked the emperor to grant you an honorific title. The decree is already out. Let's go home."

When I read this book, the author had not updated it for a long time... The author said that he would be back on May Day, so he read it with confidence. Now it seems that he is no longer filling in the holes. If I had known, I should not have clicked into this book🤡
Swallow! How can I live without you! Swallow! [Crying]
Hello? Will you come back and update [please]
[Rainbow fart] What we are reading is a cool article. If there is a golden finger and it is restricted everywhere, it means there is no such thing. Please go on and enjoy it [Dog's head holding a rose]
Boss [crying] I miss you so much. Is there something wrong?
? ? ? How well written it is, why is it over?
Maybe the boss is better at writing about emotional flow. This book's world view is too big. Xie Shiqing's paranoid character and inner confession are wonderfully written. Looking forward to the next one.
It's a pity that this article is a scam [changed]
Because you are too kind and don't understand human nature. Gratitude is equal to hatred. Things you get easily and things you give for free are appreciated at first, but gradually they become a matter of course, and you may even dislike you for giving too little.
