[My new novel, The Palace Kitchen, is now online. Please add it to your collection!]
[Novel Description]
Shen Xi, a PhD in agricultural science, transmigrates into the body of a country girl living on the frontier. Her father is long dead, her mother is weak-willed, and her younger brother is still a child. The family has only a few scrawny horses, and their awful relatives are constantly causing trouble.
Shen Xi strokes the horses' manes. No problem, she'll take care of it!
Raising horses is her specialty.
In this backward ancient world, Shen Xi uses her professional knowledge to raise plump, healthy horses, and her business keeps growing.
The relatives who used to bully their way into her home come begging forgiveness, smiling obsequiously. "We're family, after all."
Shen Xi shuts the door on them. "Off you go. Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
When jealous people band together to make trouble, they haven't even finished making their threats before Shen Xi waves a hand. "Let's form an agricultural cooperative. Everyone can prosper together, and we can achieve common prosperity!"
The border city, once known for its poverty, sees its wealth soar and becomes a major tax-paying city.
Later, rumors spread that she is a shameless woman for showing her face in public.
Before Shen Xi can act, wives twist their husbands' ears, old mothers swing their canes at their sons, and little girls pound their fathers with tiny fists.
So what if she's a woman? Women can hold up half the sky!
Foreign enemies keep disrupting peace on the frontier, so Shen Xi joins the military camp and improves the warhorses.
The enemy troops are beaten back again and again, fleeing in disarray and looking incredulous. "They must have stolen our horses!"
Shen Xi: "We wouldn't want your weak, sickly horses."
*
On a dark and windy night, Shen Xi finds a man covered in blood by the roadside.
From then on, the household gains a little guard who gets room and board and a salary depending on her mood, as well as a stable hand.
Later, the little guard's secret identity is exposed.
Shen Xi coolly sizes up the man feeding the horses before her. "General, you're pretty good at feeding horses."
Fu Yuan smiles faintly. "You taught me well, miss."

Description of the New Novel:
Food blogger Meng Chuxue has a million followers when she transmigrates.
The good news: She becomes a princess.
The bad news: She's in the Cold Palace.
Her mother died young, her father doesn't love her, and going hungry, having nothing to wear, and being bullied are part of everyday life.
Everyone in the palace schemes against everyone else. Each sentence comes with eight hundred hidden motives.
Trembling with fear, Meng Chuxue decides she won't take part in the palace intrigue.
To survive in the treacherous imperial harem, Meng Chuxue picks up a spatula.
Fish-fragrant shredded pork and twice-cooked pork, sweet-and-sour pork and crayfish;
crispy roast goose and Dongpo pork, chopped-chili fish head and salted duck.
At first, everyone in the palace scoffs at her.
"Cooking? We'd be lucky if she doesn't burn down the kitchen."
"How can a princess spend all day holed up in a kitchen?"
Later, the consorts from every palace nearly wear down her doorstep.
"Chuxue, when will you make that cherry cheesecake and steamed pork with rice flour again?"
"Xue, I'll eat whatever you make. I'm not picky. I just hate seeing you work so hard cooking."
"I'm old and frail. You young people should learn to show some consideration." The empress dowager comes bustling over and elbows her way through the crowd. "My granddaughter, could you serve Grandmother another bowl of glutinous rice balls in iced soup? Just one bowl."
The consorts exchange glances. What a sight: old and frail, yet asking for iced glutinous rice balls.
Recently, the princes and princesses keep laughing and daydreaming in class. When the emperor hears about it, he flies into a rage. "If you do it again, you'll spend some time living the hard life in the Cold Palace!"
He assumes they'll behave themselves, but instead
The Eighth Princess tears up her exam paper, her eyes shining. "Is it the Cold Palace where Sister Xue lives?"
The Tenth Prince follows right after her, excitedly smashing his inkstone. "I want to go too!"
The eldest, the crown prince, runs his fingers over the paper. "Stay strong!"

Later, every banquet hosted by Meng Chuxue is packed to the brim.
The imperial relatives, nobles, civil officials, and military officials all have gleaming eyes, hoping to get a share. Even the veteran official who first impeached Meng Chuxue sneaks into the crowd, bringing his exceptionally handsome grandson with him.
"Jinghuai, make me proud. If you can't win the princess's favor, don't bother coming home."
One day, as Meng Chuxue steps into the hall, a whole crowd of young men rushes toward her.
Behind them, their relatives and friends cheer them on.
"Princess, marry my son! He's the richest man in the land!"
"Princess, marry my brother! He's the top martial arts graduate!"
"Princess, marry my grandson! My grandson... well, never mind, he's not good enough for you! I, your humble servant, can be the steward of your princess's residence!"
Grand Secretary Jiang: I'm the clever one. The princess's loyal retainers are forever, but her husbands come and go.
Meng Chuxue: Oh, wow!
Jiang Jinghuai: ?
Theme: No matter what situation you find yourself in, live as your true self.

If you like "The Fake Daughter's Family" in advance, collect it~ Jiang Yunsheng was disguised as the fake daughter of the Hou family. In the original book, she targeted the real daughter everywhere and acted in every possible way, and eventually died tragically in prison. After thinking for half a second, Jiang Yunsheng decisively packed up and returned home. Jiang Yunsheng thought: It's just poverty. As long as the family works hard, they can live a good life! Who would have thought that after returning home, Her father slapped her thigh fiercely: "Why did my fish escape again?" Her mother cracked the melon seeds and said, "Nonsense! You are closing in too slowly!" Her sister held her little face in her hands and said, "It's so difficult." Jiang Yunsheng: ... This family still has to rely on me! Under her encouragement, her father finally learned to fish, her mother learned to reclaim land, her sister learned to raise chickens and pigs, and her brother, who slept in all day, set up a small stall. Everything was getting better, but the masked killer came to the door. Why would their ordinary family get into trouble with such a person?!! Jiang Yunsheng trembled: "Mom and dad, let's run!" However—— Her sleepy brother pulled out a butcher's knife and killed one person in ten steps, while her braided sister threw poison into the air. Her father curled his lips and sneered: "It seems that we haven't killed anyone for too long." Her mother yawned wildly: "Please solve it quickly, it's disturbing people's dreams." Help, who will tell her what is going on??? Just when Jiang Yunsheng was pinching people furiously, the gentle little husband she picked up walked out of the door, dressed in white clothes. Her voice trembled: "You must be just an ordinary person, right?" Fu Renqing put away the cold silver needle in his sleeve: "Well, I'm just a young doctor."
Mrs! Do you still know how to come back? Cry qaq
Wow, why haven't you updated it yet?
Looks good! Come on, thank you for updating~
Should I ask a doctor for a prescription for raising a horse? First, the doctors who see people are different from veterinarians. Second, the prescriptions for animals are different from those for people. Third, when the heroine got the prescription, she didn't say whether it was for treating heat stroke in humans or horses. It's understandable that the doctor said the dosage was wrong.
Next book Food blogger Meng Chuxue once traveled through time and became a poor little girl who had the title of princess but was forgotten in a cold palace without enough food or clothing. The mother was a lowly palace maid who died after giving birth to her. However, her kingly father had many heirs and did not remember her name at all. The people in the harem are scheming, and there are eight hundred tricks in one sentence. In response to this, Meng Chuxue trembled, and she stopped participating in the palace fight. In order to survive in Yunbo's treacherous harem, Meng Chuxue picked up the spatula again. Fish-flavored shredded pork twice-cooked pork, sweet and sour pork loin and crayfish; Crispy roasted goose Dongpo pork, salted duck with minced pepper fish head. The ladies of each palace touched their round bellies and burped with satisfaction: today is a good time to eat delicious food, and the palace fights will be postponed. However, the harem was not peaceful for a few days, and the ladies started fighting again! The gentle Concubine Shu touched Meng Chuxue's little face: It's so pitiful that I lost my mother when I was a child, and I will be your mother from now on. The concubine, who was born in a general family, pulled Meng Chuxue over: I have a high position, you will not lose if you choose me. The queen, who was sitting in a high position, looked coldly: Can your status be higher than mine? The emperor watched the show happily: How about you guys have a fight? After that, he shouted to Meng Chuxue who was in the kitchen: Daughter, my father wants to eat soup dumplings. The ladies of each palace looked at each other, reached a consensus, and geared up: after fighting for so many years, it was time to fight the old emperor. Meng Chuxue on the side raised her hand weakly: I don't want to make a choice, can I have both?
