Please support my new novel, "A Subject Beneath Her Skirts," in my author collection!
He Yanxi dozed off while slacking at work, only to wake up tied to a pillar by a band of mountain bandits.
She was completely bewildered.
But the bandits told her she was the daughter of a nouveau riche from town. They were waiting for her wealthy, nouveau riche father to ransom her. Otherwise, they'd kill her.
Using the original owner's memories, she learned that her nouveau riche father played favorites. She was born to a concubine, and her older sister was an arrogant social climber who wanted to marry into a powerful family.
So her father was hardly likely to save her.
A refined young gentleman who spoke in archaic phrases had been kidnapped along with her.
He Yanxi was frantic, but he kept prattling on in classical language.
She kicked him, then racked her brains for a way to save herself.
As she tried to think of something, an idea came to her: tempt them with delicious food and infiltrate their ranks.
Through her tireless efforts, she finally managed to save herself and even became friends with the bandits.
Since her father didn't care for her and her mother was bedridden with an illness, she set up on her own and began selling roast duck.
Zhao Shixuan: "In ancient times there was the Tofu Beauty. Today, we have the Roast Duck Beauty. My lady, might I have a taste?"
Think you can freeload off me? No way!
Clang!
He Yanxi slammed a cleaver onto the cutting board and smiled. "Why don't you ask it if it agrees?"

New novel: "A Subject Beneath Her Skirts"
Blurb
In the fifth year of the Jian'an era, Princess Xiangyun married Shangguan Zheng, the eldest son of the Marquis of Ding'an. Their wedding caused a sensation in the capital, and the whole country celebrated for three days. But less than three years later, a palace coup broke out. The emperor fell gravely ill, and the princess died a gruesome death. From then on, no one remembered the once-renowned talented beauty of the capital.
After a dreamlike lifetime, she returned to the world, but Li Yunshang was no more. She was now a little maid who had lost both parents and been sold to the marquis's household as a child.
When she met him again, her heart had turned to iron, and her only goal was revenge.
"Who are you?"
"This servant is called A Qiu."
Before Li Yunshang died, she saw those eyes, cold to the bone. When she came back to life, she saw the same man's unbearable arrogance.
In her previous life, he had hated her. Now it was her turn to hate him.
Everyone in the household thought Shangguan Zheng had found himself a devoted confidante.
No one knew she'd gone to such lengths to get close to him so she could win his heart, then trample it beneath her feet.
She acted ruthless, acted weak, and acted like a scheming flirt, all to fit the type of woman that arrogant man would love.
But she suddenly discovered that, aside from the woman she'd been in her previous life, he always showed others a little kindness.
At court, everyone described Shangguan Zheng as ruthless, arrogant, and sinister.
Li Yunshang was playing a game of chess, and she knew her opponent would take the bait.
Before the game was over, she suddenly learned something about how she had died in her previous life. The more she tried to investigate, the more someone blocked her path. The truth lay obscured by layers of mystery, and the situation was full of twists and turns.
That day, he asked her, "I'm curious. What are you really like?"
Li Yunshang replied only, "People never get to choose how they live. I simply chose to live as the person I most wanted to be."
Reading guide:
This is a suspenseful story, but it won't be too hard to follow.
Theme: Stand on your own two feet
In fact, when I see this, there are already many problems. First of all, his aunt and uncle are vicious, but in ancient times it was indeed such a class. It is true that concubines are not human beings, and concubines are dismissed casually, let alone concubines. The second is that I found that this early stage was a bit too taken for granted. You have been betrayed and you dare to go back to Hefu alone. Even if you say you are doing it for your mother, you have to find a way on your own. Those bandits have cooperated with you. You can ask them to wait outside. If you don't come out for a long time, use public opinion to force them to let you out. It is like spreading rumors. The aunt is cruel and ruthless. She wants to kill the concubine for her daughter, but the concubine is not allowed to come forward. (If I hadn't been lucky later, I would have been locked up if I was locked up) Thirdly, I know this is a sweet article and it doesn't have much logic, but it's still a bit outrageous that the bandits changed their ways because of the duck roasting (but it's understandable) Generally speaking, the heroine may be a little naive and take it for granted because she returned from modern times to ancient times.
If you sell roast duck, you sell roast duck. It's a light-hearted food article. Why are there so many top-notch relatives, scheming, and big shots? The heroine can't do anything, and the viewers feel frustrated and tired.
I hope you guys will support my new column, thank you very much!
"And she didn't expect to go home." This is a big bug for the author~ You should have thought of this a long time ago, right? Knowing the tragic experience of the original owner, you still can't imagine it? Knowing that the original owner's information was leaked, you still didn't expect it?
