The Right Path from Cook to Innkeeper

Thank you, little angels, for all your support! My new story, "A Guide to Fixing a Book", is now up next door. I'm rolling around begging you to add it to your favorites~

My new story, "The Substitute Consort to the Grand Princess", will be starting soon.

Here's the blurb:

Yan Qi, a grand princess who had seen countless handsome men, had never once been moved.

One day, she saw a man as elegant as a jade tree on the street.

She went straight home and begged the emperor to let her bring him into her household.

With a beauty like that,

even if he insulted her every day and treated her like something worthless,

she would still greet him with a smile and be in a wonderful mood.

Until one day, she realized that the face she saw every day

was no longer handsome to her!

Sweet, soft-hearted but scheming cook x aloof, picky-eating aristocratic madman

(The hero and heroine are each other's first and only.)

Cen Ning woke up reborn as a young widow in a remote mountain village, having gone from being a top chef in the capital to being pressured to remarry.

Cen Ning: I don't want to be a widow. I want to run a shop!

To escape the remote village, Cen Ning casually cooked a meal for a starving poor scholar. They traveled all the way to Jiangnan, where she was ready to make a bold start on her career, only to discover that the poor scholar she had rescued was actually a wealthy young master!

Wei Yu was of noble birth and fabulously wealthy, but he suffered from an eating disorder and life was hard for him. Then, in a small mountain village, he met a widow whose bowl of fish with pickled cabbage left him feeling refreshed and satisfied. He decided then and there to take her home.

Cen Ning wanted nothing more than to build a good life for herself. Wealthy men were fleeting distractions. Wei Yu, however, wanted to make her his alone. Cen Ning thought it over and decided that of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away was best!

Years later, Wei Yu had won great military honors and become the dream man of countless noble ladies in the capital. The emperor granted him permission to marry, but Wei Yu still thought only of the woman who had cooked him a meal before he left for battle.

One day, beneath the moonlight, he gazed at her and asked, “I want to ask the emperor for permission to marry. Would you be willing to marry me?”

(A food-themed story. The hero pursues the heroine; she focuses on her career, and the romance develops slowly. One-on-one romance, happy ending.)

The new story is up! I'm rolling around, batting my eyelashes, and begging you to add it to your favorites!!

"A Guide to Fixing a Book"…

Sun Li transmigrated into a book. The System threatened not to let her go home unless she completed her mission, so she disrupted the main plot and made the System crash.

Her younger brother was supposed to be a villain, but Sun Li set out to put him on the right path;

The heroine was supposed to end up with the hero, but Sun Li thought she deserved someone better;

Sun Li was destined to die of heartbreak after being betrayed, so she figured she might as well give herself a happy ending;

She carefully picked the top scholar, who had the best character in the whole book, only for her younger brother to try to break them up. Sun Li was not pleased. Little bro, what is wrong with you?

Cheng He lost his mother when he was young. Everyone waited for him to make a mistake so they could strip him of his position as crown prince. Only his older sister treated him well, stayed by his side as he grew up, and cared about everything he did. She was the only moon in the night sky, everything in his heart.

He had decided to keep his older sister in the palace and spend the rest of his life by her side, but then she said she wanted to get married! How could a mere top scholar be worthy of such a bright moon?

If that was the case, why not let him keep that moon in his heart?

Sweet, scheming princess x mad puppy-like young emperor

Reader's Guide:

1. One-on-one romance, both are each other's first and only. The main draw is the older-woman-younger-man romance! Older-woman-younger-man romance! Older-woman-younger-man romance! The leads have an age gap. Don't read if that's not your thing!

2. The hero is a madman, and the heroine is scheming.

3. The leads are not biological siblings, not biological siblings, not biological siblings!!!

4. This is not a System story. The System is barely present after the early chapters.
