[Upcoming] Shocking! My Family Members Are Actually...
[Blurb]
Meng Chuxue, a food blogger with a million followers, transmigrates to another world.
Good news: she's become a princess.
Bad news: she's stuck in the Cold Palace.
Her mother died young, her father doesn't love her, and going hungry, wearing shabby clothes, and being bullied are all part of daily life.
Everyone in the palace schemes against everyone else. Every sentence has eight hundred hidden meanings.
Meng Chuxue trembles with fear. She wants no part in palace intrigues.
To survive in the treacherous inner palace, she picks up a spatula instead.
Pork belly, streaked with layers of lean and fat, sizzles and drips with oil over charcoal. A tender pork knuckle soaked in broth falls apart at the touch of a chopstick.
There's also fish-fragrant shredded pork, twice-cooked pork, crispy roast goose, salted duck, and all kinds of novel delicacies like river snail rice noodles, crawfish, and stinky tofu.
A bite of fried chicken, a sip of milk tea. What a life!
*
At first, everyone in the palace scoffed.
"Cooking? She'll be lucky if she doesn't burn down the kitchen."
"A princess shouldn't spend all day cooped up in the kitchen."
Later, the consorts nearly wore down the palace gates coming to see her.
"Chuxue, when are you making that cherry cheese and steamed pork with rice flour again?"
"Xue, I'll eat whatever you make. I'm not picky. I just feel bad that you have to work so hard in the kitchen."
"I am old and frail. You young people should learn to show some consideration." The Empress Dowager came rushing over with the vigor of a tiger, pushing through the crowd. "Granddaughter, pour your Imperial Grandmother another bowl of iced tangyuan. Just one bowl, that's all."
The consorts exchanged looks. Well, look at that: old and frail, and eating iced tangyuan.
Lately, the princes and princesses had been laughing and daydreaming during lessons. When the emperor heard, he flew into a rage. "If you do it again, you'll spend some time in the Cold Palace and learn what a hard life is!"
He thought that would make them behave, but instead...
The Eighth Princess tore up her exam paper, her eyes shining. "Is it the Cold Palace where Sister Xue lives?"
The Tenth Prince immediately followed, eagerly smashing his inkstone. "I want to go too!"
The eldest, the Crown Prince, ran his fingers over the paper. "Hold on!"

Later, every banquet hosted by Meng Chuxue was packed to capacity.
The imperial relatives and court officials all had gleaming eyes, eager to get a taste.
Even the old official who had first impeached Meng Chuxue stealthily joined the crowd, bringing along his unbelievably handsome grandson.
"Jinghuai, you'd better shape up. If you can't win the princess's favor, don't bother coming home."
One day, as soon as Meng Chuxue stepped into the hall, a crowd of young men came rushing toward her.
Behind them was a cheering entourage of relatives and friends:
"Princess, be my daughter-in-law! My son is a general!"
"Princess, be my sister-in-law! My brother is the top scholar!"
"Princess, be my granddaughter-in-law! My grandson... my grandson... Never mind, he's not worthy of you! This old official can be the steward of your princess's residence!"
Elder Jiang: I'm the clever one here. I'll be the princess's loyal retainer through thick and thin, while the husbands come and go.
Meng Chuxue: Oh wow!
Jiang Jinghuai: ?

[Upcoming] Shocking! My Family Members Are Actually...
Jiang Yunsheng transmigrates as the fake heiress of a marquis's household. In the original story, she constantly targeted the real heiress, throwing tantrums and causing trouble until she eventually died miserably in prison.
After half a second of thought, Jiang Yunsheng decisively packs her things and heads home.
Jiang Yunsheng thinks: So what if we're poor? As long as the whole family works hard, we can live a good life!
But when she gets home,
her father slaps his thigh. "How did my fish get away again?"
Her mother munches on sunflower seeds. "Obviously, you were too slow pulling in the line!"
Her little sister cradles her face. "This is tricky."
Jiang Yunsheng: ... This family really does need me!
With her urging, her father finally learns to fish, her mother learns to clear land and farm, and her little sister learns to raise chickens and pigs. Meanwhile, her older brother, who sleeps in every day, sets up a street stall.
Everything is getting better, but then a horde of masked assassins shows up at their door.
Why would an ordinary family like theirs attract people like that?!!!
Jiang Yunsheng trembles. "Mom, Dad, let's run!"
But then...
Her sleepy older brother draws a butcher's knife and kills a man with every ten steps, while her little sister, with her hair tied in pigtails, tosses poison around with wild abandon.
Her father gives a cold smirk. "Looks like it's been too long since we killed anyone."
Her mother yawns repeatedly. "Get rid of them quickly. They're disturbing my sleep."
Help! Can somebody tell her what's going on here???
Just as Jiang Yunsheng is frantically pressing her philtrum, the gentle, sweet husband she'd picked up steps out of the house, dressed in white as bright as snow.
Her voice trembles. "You really are just an ordinary person, right?"
Fu Renqing puts away the chilly silver needles in his sleeve. "Yes, I'm just a little physician."

Pre-collection of [New Year's Food Notes in the Mountains], please collect it if you are a soft-hearted god (?˙▽˙?) [Farming + Food + Management | Warm Daily Flow | Development History of Small Mountain Villages] Cheng Wanyue's family of three became an ordinary farmer living near mountains and rivers. They started with a shabby thatched hut. It doesn't matter, the family is neat and tidy, roll up your sleeves and work hard, settling down and settling down is not a problem. Her mother, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, continues to give people acupuncture, while her father, an Orion hunter, sharpens his knife to kill pigs and sheep. What about her? Braised pork with braised noodles, mackerel dumplings, cross-bridge rice noodles with braised small intestines; Songhua egg eight-treasure rice, osmanthus lotus root, mutton steamed buns, duck blood vermicelli, toon fish. There are crystal pork elbows wrapped in crystal jelly that are soft and rotten, a large bowl of beef topped with sizzling spicy oil, and original white-cut chicken. Dare I ask where you are coming from? When you're thirsty, there's poplar nectar and orange-flavored sparkling water, and when it's hot, there's a popsicle to ensure you're satisfied with your meal and drink comfortably. Plant flowers in front of the door, plant trees in the backyard, get up in the morning and go to the ground to return home under the full moon. Waiting for flowers and grass, leaning against the window and listening to the wind, walking in the fields, watching the smoke curling up from the cooking pots. Go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, go into the water to touch snails, run in the mountains and wilderness, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons. Eating tender bamboo shoots in spring and crabs in autumn, enjoying lotus flowers in summer and enjoying the snow in winter are the most beautiful times in the world. The courtyard is deep and the pomegranate flowers are blooming. Why is there a young man with a pink face and red lips on the wall over there? The red clouds flew up to her cheeks, it turned out that she was peeking at this girl. Reading guide: ① A family of three travels through time. They don't get titles, they don't pay homage to the prime minister, they don't go to Beijing, they don't have dignitaries, they're just neighbors. But they go to the town to open a shop, and there's a plot of complicit development with the village. ② There will be no troubled times, at least the protagonist will be in a peaceful era during his lifetime, but there will still be hardships and difficulties, and there will be people who rise up in the face of difficulties. ③Don't get married, find a son-in-law
Don't be sad. Sometimes I feel so inexplicably unhappy, but I can chat more with friends and go out more. Spring is here, and the flowers outside are blooming~ And the articles you wrote are very beautiful and healing. I hope you can also be healed by the articles, and be happy every day and in good health??
