Transmigrating to Become a Slave

Novel Blurb:

1.

Lin Qingyan transmigrated into the body of the fourth daughter of the Grand Secretariat in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Before she could even celebrate, she realized she was being trafficked. Her destination was a slave camp over a hundred thousand li from the capital. She had gone straight from a noble young lady to a slave, dropping several social classes in one fell swoop.

May lightning strike whoever came up with this! How could they not even give her the identity of a peasant girl?

Luckily, her little villa had come with her...

Song Liangye was born a slave. He grew up in a filthy, gloomy environment, witnessing nothing but the ugliness of human nature and enduring bloodshed and hunger. His life was just like his name: cold and dark.

Having never seen the light, he met a girl with pockets full of candy in autumn, when osmanthus flowers scented the air... She was like a ball of fire, rushing toward him with all her passion. Warmth came pouring over him without end, melting him and nourishing his withered heart and parched soul.

- If your heart is full of bitterness, how much sweetness does it take to fill it?

- If your heart holds a great deal of bitterness, all it takes is a single taste of sweetness.

[Straightforward sweet-toothed girl x gloomy, ruthless, pitiful slave who's never tasted candy]

2.

While she was in kindergarten, waiting in line for the slide,

he was a little slave in a slave camp, spending every day hungry.

While she was in elementary school, fretting over her mountain of summer homework,

he was growing up fast through cruel, bloody training, at the cost of his own blood.

While she was in college, torn between joining the dance club or the painting club,

he had already become the biggest stake owners bet on in the gladiator arena.

-

When he was injured,

Lin Qingyan brought him ointment.

When he was hungry,

Lin Qingyan brought him eggs, strawberries, milk, candy, and more.

When he was cold,

Lin Qingyan brought him a thick cotton quilt.

Lin Qingyan clenched her fists in secret: I have to make up for everything he was deprived of before.

3.

One night, Song Liangye woke up after being gravely injured in the gladiator arena. With red-rimmed eyes, Lin Qingyan climbed onto the bed and wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice soft and choked with emotion. "Song Liangye, I like you. Do you like me?"

The man went rigid. Fireworks exploded in his mind. He awkwardly looked away, restraining the emotions roiling inside him, and gave a quiet hum.

Upcoming novel: My Husband Hauls Cargo at the Docks

[At first, a spoiled young master who dotes on cats and dogs; later, a taciturn, sensitive, insecure dockworker x At first, a romantic, flamboyant young lady; later, a down-to-earth matchmaker who always takes her loved ones' side]

1.

The wealthy Wei family of Jinning County fell into ruin. Overnight, they became the impoverished family everyone gossiped about, saddled with a huge debt. Everyone avoided them, even the Jiang family, who were about to become their in-laws, rushing to call off the engagement.

Just as everyone scattered like birds and beasts, keeping their distance from the Wei family, Matchmaker Liu of Baihua Town, who was determined to marry her daughter off to someone in the county seat, eagerly rushed to marry her off into the family. She didn't think she was losing out at all. In fact, she thought she'd gotten a bargain.

Ye Xier, who had just transmigrated: "..." I cannot even. Thanks!

As a wealthy young master, Wei Ziqian used to ride around town, play with cats and dogs, and spend his days with friends. But after his family fell into ruin, their property was sold off for a pittance, their ancestral home mortgaged, and their debts piled up. He went straight from being a spoiled young master to a taciturn, sensitive, insecure laborer hauling cargo at the docks.

When faced with the debt collectors who showed up to threaten them, Ye Xier, who had just transmigrated: "..."

2.

Ye Xier had studied Korean, but that gave her no advantage in ancient times. Just as she was fretting over how to make a living, she inexplicably got bound to a Matchmaker System and was forced to become a matchmaker.

Armed with a list of eligible bachelors and bachelorettes from hundreds of miles around, Ye Xier used birth charts, zodiac signs, Chinese zodiac animals, her experience shipping couples, and even statistical tables, diligently finding the best match for every single person.

As the youngest matchmaker championing a fresh, modern approach, Ye Xier was committed to setting an industry standard: no concealment, no lies, and no blind arranged marriages.

Who could have guessed that the dazzling beauty who once strode across her university campus in strappy high heels, her glossy curls bouncing, would now be riding a little donkey around the villages to bring couples together?

3.

The notorious old maid of Jinning County finally got married this year, and she even married into a good family!

Who arranged the match?

I heard it was the county's youngest matchmaker, Little Ye!

-

"Little Ye, I want to marry into the prefectural city as a concubine."

"Sorry, I don't take this kind of job. Show her out!"

-

"Little Ye, I've been widowed for many years. I want to find an elderly companion who'll look after me."

"Huh? Sure, leave it to me."

-

"Little Ye, I'm frail and sickly, and I won't live long. Do I still have a chance of finding a wife?"

"Wait here. I'll find you someone blessed with good fortune. I guarantee you'll grow old together."

-

"Little Ye, I'm born under an unlucky star. I've caused my closest family members to die, so I don't dare marry in this life."

"Who told you that? I know someone with a strong fate. You two are a perfect match."

-

"Little Ye..."

"Wait, I have to go to the docks to meet my husband after work."

4.

At night, a lamp glowed like a tiny bean, its candle flame flickering.

Ye Xier bent over her writing, working away as she filled in matching charts, her brush scratching across the paper.

Wei Ziqian lay sprawled on the bed, his skin like snow, lips red, the corners of his eyes tilted up and long lashes curled. After glancing toward the desk several times, he finally couldn't help speaking. "Ahem, I think my shoulder's swollen and red."

Ye Xier put down her brush and looked up. "That's because you haven't been hauling enough heavy loads, dear husband. You need more exercise."

Wei Ziqian, whose back had nearly given out after a day of heavy labor: "..."

Theme: Life is unpredictable, so we should spare no effort in expressing our love and cherishing one another.
