Eating Melon and Cooking in a Period Novel

Shui Miao, heir to a family of medicinal cuisine experts, transmigrates into the body of a young traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in a period novel. Here, traditional medicine is condemned as the work of ignorant frauds!

Shui Miao: Am I supposed to just put up with that? She'll clear traditional Chinese medicine's name!

Shui Miao promptly starts a street stall selling medicinal cuisine: pork trotter rice and flower cakes for beauty and youthful looks, beef in soy sauce to prevent anemia, poria and tangerine rice cakes to dispel dampness, and dishes to treat kidney deficiency...

Who knew people would mistake her for a relationship counselor?

Shui Miao is at a loss for words. She really doesn't want to hear about who got dumped, who was left penniless by a greedy spouse, who got stuck in a sham marriage, or who got involved with their daughter-in-law. She just wants to sell her medicinal cuisine in peace!

Just as Shui Miao gets used to all the juicy gossip, a crowd shows up to call her a fraud. Shui Miao calmly points out their health problems.

"You have kidney deficiency!"

"You're anemic!"

"You're impotent!"

The troublemakers: Stop, stop! Fine, I'll buy some!

Then they discover that their kidney problems, anemia, impotence, and other ailments are all cured. They can't help exclaiming, "Traditional Chinese medicine is amazing! And it tastes great, too! Give me another serving!"

Later, a top actor secretly sends her a pennant and gets recognized. The male leads who once looked down on her start fighting over her, and Shui Miao becomes a sensation, making a fortune and staying busy every day.

The only problem is that her cat, angry that its caretaker can't spend time with it, becomes a spirit!

P.S. The male lead is a cat: aloof but clingy.

An alternate world.

Coming soon: The True Daughter Who Was a Cannon Fodder in a Period Novel Rises Up

Yun Nuannuan transmigrates into the body of the true daughter and cannon fodder in a period novel. Unfortunately, her birth parents think she's uncouth and ill-mannered, and won't even let her eat at the table.

Yun Nuannuan refuses to take that kind of treatment. She cuts ties with them and sets up a stall outside a school, selling goods she bought with her Little Red Flower Growth System.

#Parents, are you worried about your children's college entrance exams?

Five years of practice exams and three years of college entrance exams: just what you need!

Her slogan is loud and clear, but nobody buys anything. With no other choice, Yun Nuannuan brings out her secret weapon.

"Buy braised pork or sweet-and-sour pork, and get a practice exam paper free! Don't walk past without stopping! Take home some delicious braised pork or sweet-and-sour pork!"

"Boss, give me a serving to try!"

"Boss, your pork is delicious! I'll take two servings! Do you give away all the test papers?"

Yun Nuannuan's plan kills two birds with one stone. The parents enjoy their food, and their children's grades improve. Whether the children are happy or not doesn't matter. Their parents have given them all that heavy love, so what more could they want?

Later, Yun Nuannuan becomes one of the biggest business owners in Shencheng and appears on television, praised as a conscientious entrepreneur who even thinks about children's futures when selling her goods.

Then her birth parents and adoptive parents hear how successful she is and come looking for a handout.

Yun Nuannuan: So you want my stuff that badly? Don't worry, I've got a bad-luck charm for each of you.

But before she can take out the charms, a boy comes running over and chases them away.

Wait, isn't that the original male lead?

Coming soon: I'm Possessed by the God of Cooking! Pay Up [The 1980s]

Ye Tianlan, a culinary disaster, transmigrates into the body of a young cook at a private restaurant on the verge of bankruptcy.

Ye Tianlan: Uh... I'm even worse at cooking than the original owner.

Luckily, Ye Tianlan gets a golden finger when she transmigrates: a cooking minigame. Even luckier, she draws a Su Shi card. The braised pork she makes with it is absolutely incredible, saving her from being exposed and losing her job, and turning the failing little restaurant around.

Unfortunately, the boss is an idiot who can't tell who's in charge and thinks Ye Tianlan is paid too much, so he fires her outright.

Ye Tianlan: I might as well open my own place. I don't need to put up with this crap.

After that, her former boss can only watch as his restaurant gets less and less business, while Ye Tianlan cooks better and better food as if possessed by the God of Cooking, and her restaurant thrives. The original story's first, second, and third male leads line up outside Ye Tianlan's restaurant before dawn every day, rain or shine, trying to win the heroine's favor.

Later, instead of pursuing the heroine, they pursue Ye Tianlan. The System is the first to object, because Ye Tianlan is his wife.

Completed: Raising Kids with Delicious Food in the 1970s [Book Transmigration]

Only after Gu Yunxin is reborn does she learn that she's a cannon-fodder character in a book, and that her two children are destined for miserable fates.

After returning to life, she gains a face-slapping System and begins cooking delicious food while giving everyone a taste of their own medicine.

When the villagers think running a street stall is a dead end, she starts selling spicy hot pot, rice noodles, cold rice noodles, and other tasty foods.

Villagers: How much money can you make selling from a stall? You'd be better off getting a job.

Then they see Gu Yunxin's stall thriving, with customers camping out an hour in advance just to buy her food.

Seeing how much Gu Yunxin earns, the villagers decide they can do just as well. They all imitate her, but can't compete with her, and end up losing every last penny.

All they can do is watch as Gu Yunxin's business grows stronger and stronger, eventually riding the wave of reform and opening up to become the nation's first private enterprise.

By then, she and the villagers are in completely different leagues. With no other recourse, they spread rumors everywhere that Gu Yunxin had caused her husband's death and no one would dare marry her.

But in the blink of an eye, the aloof dreamboat Zhou Qingyan kneels before her with 999 roses and proposes.

Villagers: Ouch, that stings!

Even worse for them, Gu Yunxin and Zhou Qingyan raise her two children to become outstanding performers. The pair go on to become the first ice dance team in Xia Country to win the Grand Slam.

Villagers: Damn, comparing ourselves to others is infuriating.

Gu Yunxin: It's no big deal, no big deal.

Then she looks at the children, glances at the countless red bills in her hands, and takes Zhou Yanqing by the hand. "Let's go home and braise some pig trotters!"

Couple: aloof dreamboat Zhou Yanqing * bold and spirited Gu Yunxin, who loves fiercely and hates fiercely

Zhou Yanqing: The moment I saw you, I understood what it means to love someone at first sight for a lifetime.

P.S. An alternate world, with a System and romance, one-on-one happy ending.
