Blurb: Modern-day CEO Feng Xiran worked herself to the bone, only to die before she could enjoy even a fraction of her billion-yuan fortune.
After transmigrating to a matriarchal kingdom, she became its one and only Crown Princess and heir to the throne. Feng Xiran reveled in a life of luxury, surrounded by handsome men. It was just the life for someone who wanted to lie flat and slack off. Unfortunately, she had barely begun enjoying it when she triggered the National Defense System.
System: Ding! To change the fate of the matriarchal kingdom, which will be destroyed in five years, please accept the tasks assigned by this System. Completing each task will unlock rewards, protect the nation, and bring peace and prosperity to its people.
At court:
“Your Majesty, the southeast has reported severe flooding.”
As the Empress of Tianfeng considered a response, Feng Xiran, who had accepted the mission but still hoped to slack off, was jolted by an electric shock until she trembled. With tears in her eyes, she had no choice but to volunteer. “Your Majesty, I'll go.”
The ministers stared in surprise. Had their spoiled Crown Princess suddenly changed her ways?
“Your Majesty, the northwest has reported…”
Feng Xiran had barely returned, let alone had a drink of water, when she raised her trembling hand again. “Your Majesty, I'll go!”
The ministers wiped away tears of joy. Our Great Feng finally has a worthy successor.
Later, Feng Xiran threw herself into work again and again, discovering that completing missions could actually be fun.
Ding! Host has completed plague prevention and control. Reward: one set of gunpowder-making techniques!
Ding! Host has completed the cotton cultivation mission. Reward: one set of brickmaking blueprints!
…
One achievement after another delighted the ministers and won praise throughout the kingdom.
The elderly Grand Tutor wept bitterly. “The Crown Princess has rendered outstanding service and is worthy of great responsibility!”
The Empress of Tianfeng nodded in satisfaction. “My daughter has made something of herself. My heart is consoled!”
Five years later, everyone watched the enemy army get blasted away by a cannon and stared in disbelief. The Crown Princess is ridiculously powerful!
Even the Crown Princess's husband, who had never been able to stand her, was won over. When he caught the other consorts sneaking glances at her, he warned them coldly, “Look again and I'll pluck out your eyes!”
Feng Xiran had planned to keep lying flat, but the flood of praise went to her head. Before long, she was completing tasks on her own, without needing the System to push her. What could she do? She couldn't resist the people's adoring gazes.
Later, Feng Xiran ascended the throne and ushered in a golden age for Great Feng!
Currently updating: The Pigment Maker's Daily Road to Fortune
Blurb: Ji Qinghe, an inheritor of traditional pigment-making techniques, transmigrates into the body of a poor girl whose father is dead and mother is ill. Her greedy uncles and aunts are already plotting to take everything she owns.
Ji Qinghe casually grabs a rock from the table and smashes her cousin's head open when he barges into her home.
“Ding dong! Your Pigment-Making System has been delivered. Would you like to bind with it?”
“Bind!”
Coming to her senses, Ji Qinghe stares at the blue stone in her hand, still streaked with blood. Could this… be lapis lazuli?
Hugging the priceless treasure, Ji Qinghe immediately sells off the family property that night. She takes her mother, hires bodyguards, and sets out for the capital.
Along the way, she picks up a beggar to work for her. Once cleaned up, he turns out to be a handsome young man. He's honest, obedient, and hardworking, so Ji Qinghe decides to keep him.
Before long, the capital's first and only pigment shop opens. Its shelves display every kind of pigment in little porcelain pots, arranged from lightest to darkest. They say there are over a dozen shades of just one kind of blue. Painters all across the capital go wild. Buy, buy, buy! My mother will never have to worry about me running out of paint again!
With the System in hand, money pours in!
Ding dong! Ding dong! Your System has been upgraded!
Soon the shop launches plant-dyed fabrics as well. Young ladies from every household in the capital flock there. Buy, buy, buy! These patterns are so beautiful, I want them all! If you don't shop here, you're not from the capital!
As the business grows, Ji Qinghe counts money until her hands ache. Then her usually obedient puppy-like young man changes into a splendid brocade robe and hurries over to her. “Qinghe, come make pigments at my estate. There's plenty of room and lots of raw stones. I've prepared everything for you.”
Upcoming novel: Daily Life of Making a Fortune with Food After Coming Down from the Mountain
Karmic Threads:
Food blogger Yun Qingnian rolls her eyes. Life is hard enough as it is. Of all the places to transmigrate, why did she have to end up in the body of a little nun?
She's a meat lover, but now she's expected to eat vegetarian food every day! She hasn't had meat in three days!
Yun Qingnian taps the wooden fish and grumbles about this miserable life!
Once upon a time, there was a mountain. On the mountain stood a convent, and in that convent lived a little nun who was forced to get married!
Over a decade ago, Yun Qingnian's mother saved Master Liaochen with a bowl of water. That was the cause!
When Yun's mother fell gravely ill, she entrusted her daughter to Liaochen. The girl grew up on the mountain for fifteen years. That was the effect!
But what is this business with her suddenly appearing birth father and stepmother?
They are so wicked that they set the convent on fire just to force a nun to marry!
She comes down from the mountain to find her real betrothed, only to discover that he became a monk!
Is everyone competing to take the vows?
Her mother is her real mother, her birth father isn't her real father, and her betrothed is a fake?
What a tangled life!
Foodie Adventures:
The once-quiet convent is bustling because the vegetarian noodles they serve are delicious! And they have vegetarian buns too!
Someone who loves good food suggests, “Master, why don't you come down the mountain and open a restaurant?”
Looking at the row of little nuns behind her, all so skinny that they were skin and bones, Yun Qingnian steels herself, stamps her foot, and gets to work!
Wait, aren't you a nun? Why are you selling meat dishes now? Eight-treasure duck, fish with pickled cabbage, and braised pork.
Yun Qingnian says, “Meat and wine pass through my guts, but Buddha remains in my heart!”
Wait, aren't you a nun? Why are you killing animals?
Yun Qingnian says, “Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!”
Theme: Strive to let the people live in peace and prosperity
Caolou, I'm laughing so hard. Hahahahahaha. Does it correspond to Hualou? Hahahahaha.
What we are asking is, when describing the rivalry between the heroine and the hero, can we include some scenes where the heroine is attracted by the hero's appearance? I know your son is good-looking. But I think the female goose is not bad at all. Why do she have to be written like a pervert who ran away from home when she saw the male protagonist's face?
Why do you not take it seriously even though you know that the male protagonist is the culprit who destroyed the country??? You have to at least think about how to kill the male protagonist privately, right??
Is there any cp at the end?
Author, congratulations on writing the article!!!
I would like to ask if the relationship line accounts for a high proportion? Is the male lead a sideshow or does he have a lot of roles?
Under the imperial city, does anyone really dare to blatantly speak ill of the prince?? Offend the imperial power? If you don't really dare, does that mean that the original owner doesn't kill? Otherwise, he would have been killed if he didn't hear someone belittling himself.
Even Jing Sa can tell that the heroine is no longer the original, let alone the Taifu and biological parents.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival(*??*)
Lan Yun's husband should be her brother's brother-in-law, not her sister-in-law
