The Workaholic Transmigrates into a Book as a Villainess (Food)

[The main story is complete]

Jian Jia had been a total overachiever all her life. She worked herself to death trying to save enough to buy a house. After she died and opened her eyes again, she never expected to transmigrate into an old-fashioned, over-the-top novel called The Beloved Country Girl, as the villainess who shared her name.

The original Jian Jia was an arrogant, sharp-tongued country girl who was already married, yet hopelessly obsessed with love. She looked down on the hunter who had rescued her from misery and pined after Xu Lingsheng, the famous scholar from the surrounding villages, pestering him relentlessly. She even considered killing her hunter husband so she could marry the third male lead.

Unfortunately, Xu Lingsheng was a devoted lackey to the female lead, loving only her and finding the original Jian Jia's advances unbearably annoying. When he learned that Jian Jia had secretly harmed the heroine out of jealousy, he joined forces with the powerful male lead and beat her to death.

In the end, Jian Jia's hunter husband did everything he could, spending his entire fortune to find her broken corpse. Though Jian Jia had hated him while she was alive, hitting and berating him at every turn, he silently carried her body all the way back to his hometown and gave her a proper burial.

When Jian Jia transmigrated, the original was at rock bottom and about to marry the hunter.

Qin Yi had once received a kindness from Jian Jia's father. When he heard that his benefactor's daughter was in trouble, he sold his possessions and scraped together fifteen taels of silver to buy Jian Jia back before her stepbrother could sell her off. He did it to repay the debt of gratitude.

For this, the villagers never stopped teasing him. The Jian girl had been spoiled rotten, and she clearly wasn't the sort to settle down and live an ordinary life. Qin Yi had gotten a raw deal by marrying her.

Qin Yi didn't say much. He didn't like Jian Jia, so he didn't expect her to settle down with him. He would take good care of her and repay his debt of gratitude bit by bit. If Jian Jia wanted a divorce, he would prepare a dowry for her, too.

Yet as time passed, the Qin family didn't fall into ruin as everyone had expected. Their life only got better. Qin Yi's ragged clothes were replaced with new ones, the Qin family's dilapidated thatched hut became a tiled house, and even Qin Yi's consumptive younger brother grew healthy enough to attend a village school...

Watching the Qin family's life improve more and more, the villagers stopped Qin Yi. "Hunter Qin, did your ancestors leave you a mountain of treasure?"

Qin Yi, whose gratitude had long since turned into love, looked up at the smoke rising from his home and smiled. "My ancestors didn't leave me a mountain of treasure. I was just lucky enough to marry the best wife."

Wherever Jian Jia was, that was home.

A diligent, practical heroine x a steady, dependable hero

The simple joys of country life, growing sweeter by the day.

Here is my next upcoming novel:

Rise Again with the Powerful One

Shi Le'an transmigrated. The good news was that she had become a noblewoman from a distinguished family, and the emperor had arranged her marriage to the current Sixth Prince. The bad news was that the Sixth Prince had been caught up in a factional struggle and imprisoned, with his life hanging by a thread, while her family clearly had no intention of helping her.

Just as Shi Le'an was figuring out how to sever ties with the Sixth Prince, Xie Zhao, her husband in name only managed to arrange a meeting from prison and gave her a divorce letter.

Xie Zhao was seriously ill and imprisoned, yet he had arranged her future for her. Shi Le'an couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

If she just turned around and left, wouldn't that make her a terrible friend?

In the end, Shi Le'an decided to stay. She would accompany Xie Zhao to his fief.

Xie Zhao had given her a way out, and she owed him for that. She could leave after giving him a proper burial.

A carefully plotted frame-up took the lives of his loyal, courageous eldest brother, the Crown Prince, and his gentle, loving mother, the Empress Dowager. In a single night, Xie Zhao went from a pampered prince to a prisoner whom anyone could trample underfoot.

In those bleak days, he saw plenty of vile people who broke their promises and fawned on the powerful while bullying the weak. But he never expected one unintentional good deed to bring him a "wife" who would shield him from every storm.

With his wife, Shi Le'an, by his side, his life gradually improved, and the odds increasingly favored him. Little by little, Xie Zhao realized that his gaze would follow Shi Le'an wherever she went. Someone had taken up residence in his heart.

For his wife, Xie Zhao wanted to reach the very top, then live a long life together with her.

A gentle, resilient, sunny heroine x a patient, devoted hero who bides his time
