A Food Blogger in Ancient Times

Coming Soon: "Young Lord, You've Ruined My Life". Please add it to your library.

Food blogger Mu Zhiqiu accidentally transmigrates into an ancient food novel, where she serves as the heroine's golden finger.

The heroine stares in confusion at a yard full of unfamiliar crops.

Mu Zhiqiu bends down, picks up a yellow lump of dirt, and gives it a toss. "Sis, let me handle this."

A new food stall suddenly appears at the market.

Potato cakes, fries, walnut buns, chive pockets, griddled flatbreads, pork tenderloin flatbreads, egg burgers, pumpkin porridge.

The selection is varied and novel. Plenty of people with shallow pockets can't help asking the price, only to find that the sisters are honest sellers: the food is affordable and delicious.

With support from customers and passersby, the little stall grows into a restaurant.

Tomato prawns, spicy crab, wolf-tooth potatoes, chili chicken, spicy noodles, chicken pot.

The diners leave the restaurant with satisfied smiles, while Mu Zhiqiu beams at the reward money in the System.

Once I finish this job and return to my original world, I can lie flat and live like a lazy fish. What a dream.

Note: The setting is fictional, with plenty of original details.

The romance is brief.

Coming Soon: "Young Lord, You've Ruined My Life" Blurb

Chu Qing was supposed to transmigrate to the apocalypse with all her supplies, but instead she ends up in an ancient world. When she wakes, she sees a leaky roof and a pair of twin siblings, a brother and sister, covered in patches.

All three of them are thin and frail, with pockets emptier than their faces. Luckily, Chu Qing's spatial storage is full of supplies, so at worst they can live off her hoard until it's gone.

When she opens her storage, Chu Qing discovers that all the prepared food she stockpiled has turned into ingredients. Fried chicken wings have become live chickens, breadcrumbs, and marinade powder; cream cake has become milk, white sugar, and eggs.

She learned plenty of skills to survive the apocalypse, including how to make a fire, fight, and rock climb, but she never learned to cook. Fortunately, she finds a thick cookbook in her storage.

Chu Qing lives by the principle that when you're short on money, you earn some; when you have enough, you lie flat. So she starts selling food in the ancient world.

Today she wants a new outfit, so she goes out and sells hand-grabbed pancakes for a few days to save up.

Tomorrow she wants a storybook to pass the time, so she sells pearl milk tea for a few days.

The day after, she wants a good meal at a restaurant, so she sells chicken-wing rice rolls for a few days.

While running her stall, Chu Qing notices that the young men of Suizhou all look unhealthy. They are pale and cough from time to time. In short, they look terribly frail.

Later, she learns that Suizhou has a young lord, heir to Prince Ji's title, who is talented and refined. His delicate health gives him a sickly beauty that women everywhere adore, so the young men of Suizhou have all started imitating him.

Chu Qing: "What is wrong with them?"

Chu Qing watches for a while and confirms that this is indeed the case.

A few days ago, the young lord bought a stone-blue outfit, and the fabric shop's entire stock of stone-blue cloth sold out.

The young lord bought a writing brush, and the next day the bookstore was packed.

Chu Qing never expected her tiny, shabby stall to benefit from people "imitating the crown prince," too.

It was all because one day the young lord's personal attendant bought a red bean rice cake pie from her stall.

And then a huge line formed at her stall.

Chu Qing, who never intended to take her business seriously, is close to tears. "I've earned enough to buy my storybook. I want to clock out!"

Young lord, you've ruined my life.

Note:

The setting is fictional, very fictional.

The male lead isn't actually sickly.
