[Blurb]
Lin Ling, a beverage developer, transmigrates to ancient times, where her family is destitute and drowning in debt.
Her childhood betrothed passes the imperial examinations and can't wait to break off their engagement. Her creditors come knocking and suggest selling her to a county official as a concubine.
Lin Ling has no choice but to quietly crouch by the wall and dig up wild plants... She makes her first sweet drink in ancient times and embarks on a new journey to build a business and get rich.
To pay off her debts, Lin Ling gets up before dawn and works until night, selling sweet drinks at construction sites and slowly saving money;
When she lacks ingredients, Lin Ling clears wasteland, raises bees for honey, and plants orchards;
When she needs more hands, Lin Ling rescues her childhood friend from being sold and brings the local bully from the neighboring village to heel, turning them all into capable employees.
Her delicious, varied ready-to-drink sweet beverages draw villagers from near and far, making her business a sensation;
Her convenient, hygienic, portable drink mixes, paired with free shipping, reach neighboring counties and become a nationwide hit.
In the end, Lin Ling's sweet drinks become the country's number-one brand, and the village girl everyone used to bully becomes a beverage tycoon.
*
While gathering ingredients in the mountains, Lin Ling finds a handsome, injured young man. Gentle and delicate, he gazes straight at her with bright, dark eyes.
"If I bring you home, you'll have to become my husband."
"Then why hasn't Big Sis brought me home yet?"
From then on, a little tail follows Lin Ling everywhere.
Her former fiance, now a high-ranking official in the capital, suddenly returns to the village, radiating authority. "This land is being requisitioned. You'll have to find somewhere else. Unless you don't want to move, in which case you can come to the capital with me and be my concubine."
Then he sees the young man behind Lin Ling, innocently blinking at her, and immediately collapses in terror.
The young man's smile is as warm as the spring sunshine. "How many lives do you have, that you'd dare ask my princess consort to be your concubine?"
Reader's note: This is a completely fictional parallel world, so please don't nitpick the historical details.

The General's Regret Comes Too Late
At a banquet in the Duke of Xu's residence, Shen Lanxu sneaks away to meet her childhood sweetheart. Halfway there, a pair of strong hands pull her into a room.
When she wakes, the bedding is damp and disheveled, and her body feels as if it has been taken apart. It all reminds her of what happened.
Later, an imperial edict decrees her marriage, and Shen Lanxu becomes a laughingstock across the capital.
Watching her stepmother and elder sister look on with jealous, envious eyes, Shen Lanxu coolly accepts the imperial edict.

Xu Yan has always despised the squabbles among women in the inner household. Yet on the very first day he returns to the capital, one of them uses underhanded methods to frame him, leaving him no choice but to marry Shen Lanxu.
Xu Yan feels nothing but contempt and disdain for Shen Lanxu.
Only in the dead of night does the memory of that intoxicating night rise from the depths of his heart and tug at his soul.
Until the day she goes into labor, Shen Lanxu collapses in front of him, bleeding profusely. "If you don't let him go, I won't live through today either."
Xu Yan nearly falls over. So all of Shen Lanxu's ingratiating behavior had been nothing but an attempt to use him from beginning to end. He finally realizes that Shen Lanxu, who had schemed to marry him, was also an innocent victim caught in a trap that night.
"The doctor says Shen Lanxu may not live past twenty-five."
Xu Yan smiles calmly. "Then let me trade my years for her lifelong health and happiness."

""Are you hungry for sour fruit now? Okay..."Catch a big bug for the author~ Help, "sour boy and spicy girl" is an intertextual technique! It means that after a woman becomes pregnant, her taste changes and she likes to eat spicy and sour food!
... The author is afraid that he has a misunderstanding about sugar in ancient times. Not to mention that there is no white sugar or rock sugar at all. Ancient sugar is so expensive that it is used to make sugar water... Haha
Dear readers, the new article "Lan Yin Chu" will be published on October 17, and the full text has been saved, so feel free to read it. An article about a general taking his cub to the crematorium! [Lan Yin mistakenly wrote the text] At the banquet at Duke Xu's mansion, Shen Lanxu secretly left the banquet to find her childhood sweetheart. Unexpectedly, she was pulled into the room by a pair of big hands halfway. When she woke up again, the bedding was damp and messy, and her body bones seemed to be falling apart, reminding her of what had happened. Overnight, Shen Lanxu almost became a joke in the entire capital. Later, Duke Xu's mansion brought up a sedan chair. Seeing the envious looks of his aunt and eldest sister, Shen Lanxu sat on the sedan chair with cold eyes. Xu Yan hated the fight with the wife in the back house the most in his life. Unexpectedly, on the first day he returned to Beijing, the wife in the back house used dirty tricks to plot against him, and he had no choice but to marry Shen Lanxu into the family. Facing Shen Lanxu, Xu Yan only had contempt and disdain in his heart. Only when I dream back at midnight, the charm of that night will flow out from the bottom of my heart and attract people's hearts. Until the day she gave birth, Shen Lanxu fell in front of him with a full belly: "If you didn't let him go, I wouldn't be able to live alone today." Xu Yan suddenly became unsteady on his feet. It turned out that Shen Lanxu's flattery was just to take advantage of him. I finally discovered that Shen Lanxu, who had deliberately planned to marry in, was just an innocent person who fell into a trap that day. "The doctor said that Shen Lanxu may not survive until twenty-five." Xu Yan smiled calmly: "Then use my life span to exchange for her lifelong well-being." Double C, 1V1, he
