The Interstellar Farming Life of a Powerful Alpha Woman

My new novel next door, The All-Round Alchemist Has the Interstellar People Drooling, is now available~

Tang Yan transmigrated into the interstellar ABO era, becoming an old A!

And a truly awful one at that! She lived off others, gambled, and squandered the entire family fortune!

Oh, none of that was the main point. The main point was... she had a wife. No, an O-man.

The O-man's gaze was so cold that Tang Yan reasonably suspected she was about to be kicked out of the house. She might even end up starving on the streets tomorrow.

To keep from starving, Tang Yan had no choice but to quietly take up her old trade: practicing artifact crafting and pill refining. The materials in this world looked different from those in her old one, and they were especially large, while the results of her crafting were only half as effective.

But that was fine. As long as they worked, and as long as she didn't have to keep living a miserable life, always hungry and never sure where her next meal would come from~

Looking at the new magical artifact she'd cobbled together, which she named the "shrimp trap," Tang Yan saw that it had firmly caught three oversized "crawdads," each at least an arm's length long. Her mouth watered as she thought of garlic crawdads, spicy crawdads, shrimp roe dumplings, shrimp roe buns...

Every June, the sea beasts launched their most frequent waves of attacks, and the exploration teams were busier than ever.

This year was especially difficult. A highly dangerous level-three "giant-clawed sea beast" had appeared in the outer star belt. The exploration team's captain was so worried his hair had turned white, but once you were in the business, you had no choice but to accept your fate and lead your team to exterminate it.

However...

On the first day, when they reached the shore, they couldn't find any of the ferocious giant-clawed sea beasts in the water. All they found was one dead on the beach, nothing left but its empty shell.

The exploration team captain was ecstatic. "What mighty expert came to help us deal with this menace?"

On the second day, they still couldn't find any giant-clawed beasts in the sea, but there were several more empty shells on the beach. The whole family lay there together, dead as doornails.

The entire exploration team was ecstatic. "A true expert is a true expert! Even dealing with a menace is done with such style!"

On the third day, there were finally no giant-clawed beast shells lying on the beach. Instead, a young couple, a female A and a male O, appeared with a little cart, shouting, "Shrimp roe buns! Shrimp roe dumplings!" The delicious aroma was so enticing that the exploration team members' stomachs all began to rumble.

The food they were selling was incredibly delicious, too. Every member of the exploration team ate until they were full to bursting.

Only after some time, when the captain was stuffed, did he ask with interest what ingredients they had used to make the food.

To his surprise, the petite female A in front of him casually pointed toward the sea and smiled.

"It's nothing. Just those big-clawed things that have been growing in the sea these past few days. I just don't know which rotten person stole the sample I left on the beach yesterday~"

The rotten person in question, the exploration team captain: "!!!"

* The female lead's golden finger: artifact crafting and pill refining. There's food, but food isn't the main focus. The main focus is the expert-level artifact crafting and pill refining~

* Female A, male O. No dependents. Male-female romance, not female-female. Both are sexually inexperienced. This isn't really the focus of the story, but so many girls asked, so I thought I'd mention it~

---- A preview of the upcoming novel next door ----

The Chef Begins in an Exile Novel. Blurb:

Jiang Qingyan worked diligently at the Time Bureau for five hundred years, only to be sent straight back to square one because the male lead said he favored his first love. Now she has to start all her quick transmigration missions from the beginning.

Fine, starting over is starting over. Only this time...

Jiang Qingyan has given up. She doesn't care how the missions turn out.

As long as she gets to eat something delicious, she could be trapped in one place for a hundred years.

She can't help it. Jiang Qingyan has gone without for too long. She may not be good at much else, but she loves good food.

She used to think that after five hundred years of hard work, she'd be able to enjoy all the delicious food she wanted once she retired.

But now that all her missions have failed, why should she keep holding back? She might as well roll up her sleeves and fend for herself.

Jiang Qingyan says that if she wants a delicious pot of stewed fish, she should start by weaving a good fish trap and catching a big, fat fish in the winter river.

And so...

[On the road in an exile novel]

The female lead is busy building a good relationship with the future male lead, sparing no expense to hire a merchant caravan to follow them all the way, with every kind of food and clothing in abundance.

Jiang Qingyan, on the other hand, says nothing. She quietly weaves the fish trap in her hands, thinking only about what dish she should make with the big, fat fish she catches later.

Should it be a steaming pot of bubbling stewed fish, or crispy grilled fish, crisp on the outside and tender inside?

But later, no one knows how it happened. The group of exiles, who should have been on the male and female leads' side, couldn't help looking over at Jiang Qingyan.

What on earth is that girl cooking? It smells incredible! They want to look away, they really do, but their eyes won't obey them...

[In a court-intrigue novel]

The female lead disguises herself as a man and first earns the court's favor as a talented scholar. Later, even after her identity as a woman is revealed, people still praise her, saying, "Who says women are inferior to men?" Her standing in court remains untouched.

Only Jiang Qingyan, who worked hard to pass the examinations openly as a woman, is ignored by the court despite possessing talent known throughout the land. No one in the court cares about her, Jiang Qingyan included.

She is on her way to court, holding a freshly baked flatbread in one hand and carrying two fresh hairy crabs she bought from a fisherman's child in the other. She is wondering which corner of the Ministry of Revenue she can set up a little stove in later, and whether she should make a "crab roe and crab meat" meat-stuffed flatbread.

And so... the ministers, just back at the Ministry of Revenue, couldn't help sniffing around and asking who was cooking. Why did it smell so good?
