Forthcoming: The Cannon Fodder Wants to Live Well
Jiang Ci read an online novel written by her friend. She argued with her friend over a supporting character's story, then got so worked up that she suffered a brain hemorrhage.
When she woke up, she had become the cannon-fodder supporting character in her friend's story, just as a major turning point in her fate was about to arrive. So she decisively chose a different path from the original one.
Hmph, you get to call the shots in your novel? No, I get to call the shots in my life.
A replacement bride? Fine.
The groom is ugly, huge, and a stutterer? No problem. Looks can't put food on the table, and a stutterer is ideal: he won't be smooth-talking and chasing after every pretty face.
He won't survive past thirty chapters? Bullshit. That's just the unscrupulous author making him court death.
Marrying him means becoming a widow in all but name? Still better than being sold to a brothel.
He's dull-witted, and if he doesn't get killed off, he'll probably end up a penniless loser? Still better than being hacked to death by rebel soldiers.
What, pass secrets to some big shot at a brothel and risk it all for wealth? Forget it. That's not our line of work.
When the bridal veil is lifted, Jiang Ci thinks, Huh? This can't be right. I was told he was ugly! You call this mixed-race face ugly?
When he finishes listing her supposed "crimes" in one breath, Jiang Ci stares at him with wide, confused eyes. Weren't you supposed to stutter? Oh, he only stutters after a kiss. Hehe.
Watching him and his son race horses at the track, Jiang Ci suddenly thinks he must live for well over a hundred chapters.
Then she looks back at the four little ones behind her. Hmph, who said she'd be a widow in all but name? All she's done these years is have children. Sob...
(A story about a self-aware cannon fodder dodging and weaving around fate.)
Blurb for My Dream of Farming
Li Shiyue takes a tumble and lands in the body of another Li Shiyue in ancient times. Before she can figure out what's going on, she comes across an auntie who has just given birth. Li Shiyue plans to return to the village and ask the auntie's family to come up the mountain and fetch her, but the auntie takes her own life.
All she leaves behind is a newborn baby and a man's name.
Looking at the hungry baby in her arms, Li Shiyue thinks it over and decides to take the child with her, and find the baby's scumbag father along the way.
Unexpectedly, she keeps walking until she reaches the northern frontier.
The court wins a war, builds a new city, and relocates refugees, providing them with household registration, farmland, and silver. Shiyue thinks, This is tailor-made for me! My dream of farming is finally coming true!
She never imagined, though, that she'd go from one person with one child to two people with four children.
She only meant to fulfill the original owner's wish and start a new life of her own.
How did she somehow end up helping people raise children, advising them on which seeds to plant and how many pigs to keep?
Tang Kaitai was the eldest son born to a concubine in a family headed by a successful candidate in the imperial examinations. After disaster struck his family, his stepmother took everyone to the capital to look for his father.
They never imagined it would be a road of no return.
His stepmother died, his concubine mother disappeared, and his leg was broken. He survived by begging with his younger siblings.
At the lowest point in his life, he met Li Shiyue.
She invited him to go with her to the northern frontier. She helped him earn his first bit of money, and helped them get their household registration back.
She said, "From now on, you and your siblings will be the founding ancestors of this branch of the Tang family!"
She said, "You're the eldest brother. From now on, make lots of money and get each of them a big house. Let them study and take the imperial exams, and save up their betrothal gifts and dowries. Make sure they all have good lives."
She gave him a reason to keep living.
Tang Kaitai: We were strangers who happened to meet, yet you gave me so much.
Li Shiyue: A special kind of love, just for you.
P.S. I have a job to juggle, so this novel updates every other day. Thank you for understanding.
Theme: Persevere and strive, and trust that fate has its plans.
Is it true that I won't be practicing martial arts in October?
The result of reaching out - reaching out to take it
Do I need to pull out the needle from the back? I'm curious.
The heroine should practice martial arts while she still has memory. She will really forget about it in the future.
The heroine is becoming more and more useless
Big... I can't help but want to say that the foreshadowing ahead is really too long and too long. I had to change the map and write 70 chapters in three months. And there is something I don't understand, maybe it's a foreshadowing? For someone who was admitted to the Hanlin Academy from a local area, the bandits and the like were acceptable, but the killer silver needle and the like were really a bit exaggerated. Especially when the father of the male protagonist has not yet passed the exam, a high fever can actually kill a child, and the silver needle is really exaggerated. And in that era, if there was a seven-year-old boy genius who could chant, at least the county would pay attention to it. He must be able to train him and be a double Jinshi with his father. Also, why would the county lord marry a man who already had three wives and four concubines? He already had a lot of sons. Normally, he wouldn't marry like this unless the county lord himself had problems, but he wouldn't kill other people's sons...
It's good to watch. Please add more updates and keep the pace a little faster.
The heroine used to be a killer. Why didn't she remember martial arts when she had her original body? With one body and two souls coexisting, what's impossible? It's a killer and an enemy. In such a dangerous era in ancient times, the male protagonist can't protect people. It's hard to live a stable life without martial arts. The key is that without martial arts, you have to engage in some dangers. I don't know what to think about farming, just farm and make money. From time to time, some dangerous things happen and you escape death a few times. It's boring.
Could it be the spring of Kaiyuan?
Congratulations on the completion. Keep up the good work, author! Looking forward to new works.
