First, a preview of another novel: The Painter's Struggle to Find a Rental in Ancient Times
Another modern woman transmigrates to ancient times, where she tries to start her own business in a new field as a painter, while her landlord has spent three years failing the civil service exam. Their chaotic daily life is below. The blurb is at the very end.
Blurb:
A serious illness awakens Li Shuwang's memories of her previous life. Her diligent career as a forensic doctor left an indelible mark on her.
She hardly hesitates before deciding to change careers.
After researching a mountain of literature (meaning all the farming novels about transmigration she'd read) and conducting meticulous hands-on experiments (burning through an iron pot and wrecking the stove), she finally chooses the promising profession of vegetable chopper.
Li Shuwang: Look at this meat. I cut it thick and thin, and so thin you can see through it!
Chu Zhao: Mm. No wonder you're so quick and efficient at dissecting corpses.
Li Shuwang: Look at this plating. So delicate and original!
Chu Zhao: Oh, so that's why your stitches on corpses are so neat and beautiful.
Her vegetable-chopping career dies before it can get off the ground.
Li Shuwang refuses to give up. She decides to change careers again and become a traveling doctor!
That fails because these ancient people seem to trust her corpse-dissecting skills more than her prescriptions.
No matter, she can still become a painter!
That fails because painting a murderer's face before painting anyone else's seems rather inauspicious.
Li Shuwang: How ignorant! How foolish! I'll change careers if it's the last thing I do!
Chu Zhao: Li Shuwang, I can stop asking you to examine corpses, but can you really ignore a murder? Can you watch the killer escape? Can you bear to let the dead suffer injustice?
Li Shuwang: ...
Every day, I reflect on three things: Have I successfully changed careers today? Am I still changing careers today? What career should I switch to today?
Really, this is a customs-and-culture novel about Li Shuwang eating and drinking her way through the Great Ning dynasty and solving cases.
Slow burn. The mysteries are simple, and the whole novel is full of the author's personal agenda.
That's all.
Reason for entering the competition: The transmigrated female forensic doctor is deeply resistant to working as a forensic doctor or coroner because of her past-life experience, and keeps trying to change careers. But after investigating several cases, she finally realizes that whether or not she is a forensic doctor, she cannot turn a blind eye to innocent souls who have died unjustly. She overcomes her inner barriers and ultimately completes her personal transformation and growth.
The Painter's Struggle to Find a Tenant in Ancient Times:
Liu Zi'ang has failed the constable's exam three years in a row. His own work is sporadic, and his income is terribly unreliable. To keep from living off his savings, he plans to divide his little courtyard in two and rent out half to help cover household expenses.
At last, a tenant shows up, claiming to be a painter. Liu Zi'ang sees that she's pretty, quiet, and cultured, so he agrees to rent to her. Who knew she was only well-mannered on the outside? She's a playful, greedy, messy little devil who coaxes cats here and teases dogs there, and even brings women home! Apart from those hands and her skill with a brush, she's good for nothing!
Liu Zi'ang initially thinks he should just kick her out. But he can't bear to lose those few coins in rent. Not only does he give in again and again, he also has to clean up after her time after time:
The painter burns through a pot while cooking:
Liu Zi'ang buys a new pot and writes it down: Li Yanjing, your rent goes up next month!
The painter runs up the mountain to dig for mineral pigments and breaks her leg:
Liu Zi'ang reluctantly takes care of her: Li Yanjing, your rent goes up next month!
The painter's art makes someone jealous, and she nearly ends up in prison:
Liu Zi'ang goes to great lengths to get her out: Li Yanjing, your rent goes up next month!
After this happens time and again, the painter finally tells Liu Zi'ang in exasperation,

Can I expect a girl to give up her brother in the end?
I don't understand, why is it that the stool is too short to pretend to hang yourself? In addition, the height of the stool does not matter, right? For the difference of half a palm, the length of the rope can be adjusted, right?!

There is a saying that bones can at least detect homicide and suicide. There is this ancient method of bone examination. As a forensic doctor, it is impossible for the heroine not to know this, and her words are too ugly. The impatient tone of "What do you want me to test?" Makes her a little frustrated. She can be more tactful.
No. No No No No No No No No No No No No - the same type of "The Difficult Tenant Life in Ancient Times" is now open next door!! Please, please, your collection is super important to me!! The current copy is as follows (I may change it in the future as a copywriter madman)—— Liu Ziang took the exam for three consecutive years but failed to land. His own work was sporadic, and his income was really unstable. In order to avoid having nothing to do, he thought of splitting his small courtyard in half and renting out half of it to supplement his family income. Finally, a tenant came, claiming to be a painter. Liu Ziang agreed when he saw that she was pretty, elegant and a cultured person. Who would have thought that this man is only gentle on the surface, loves to play, is a glutton and a slovenly man, attracts cats and dogs, and even brings women into his home! Except for those hands and one stroke of painting, there is nothing left! Liu Ziang originally thought of kicking her out, but in the end he couldn't bear the few cents in rent. Not only did he compromise repeatedly, he also had to wipe her butt again and again—— The painter cooked a meal and burned the pot: Liu Ziang buys pot and keeps accounts: Li Yanjing, the rent will be increased next month! The painter ran out of gold, stone and paint and went digging in the mountain, but ended up breaking his leg: Liu Ziang had no choice but to take care of him: Li Yanjing, the rent will be raised next month! An artist almost went to jail because his paintings made others jealous: Liu Ziang worked hard to recruit people: Li Yanjing, the rent will be increased next month! After several attempts, the painter became helpless and said to Liu Ziang: If you keep increasing the rent, I really can't afford it! I want to move! Liu Ziang wondered whether he would like to move or not! The painter did not move, but she would paint a portrait of Liu Ziang when he was angry. After drawing one box after another, she got tired of the drawings: "I have drawn the most pictures of you in my life! It's not interesting at all. I won't draw any more! I won't draw any more in the next life!" Then the next time Liu Ziang looked cold, she would use the painting to coax him. Liu Ziang originally thought that he would have to wipe the painter's butt for the rest of his life, but who knew that he would be the one causing trouble this time. He couldn't handle this anymore. Liu Ziang blocked the knife coming from beside him and wiped the painter's tears. For the first time, he didn't say to raise the rent, but told her to run quickly. Then he pushed her out hard, turned around and pulled out the knife behind him—— Li Yanjing is a painter who has become famous before he graduates. He is known for being able to paint anything and painting well. He has already made a lot of money before he even left college. Who would have thought that before you could squander the long balance in your bank card, you would arrive in Dafeng as soon as you opened and closed your eyes! Li Yanjing looked at the paintbrush with ink marks in her hand, and said to herself that she had never heard of Dafeng, there was a crazy person here! But Li Yanjing, who is going crazy, will never let himself go hungry if he is scared of hunger! But how to fill your stomach? Holding the pen in her hand, she looked around and found that she had no merit in her work. She could only rely on the pen to make ends meet. However, even Li Yanjing did not expect that his first payment would be from a picture of an oiran beauty... Li Yanjing: Isn't it just an ancient beauty painting? If you can draw and draw, what is there that you can't draw? However, Li Yanjing didn't expect how much trouble this beauty picture would bring her when it filled her belly again... Jingzhao Prefect: If you can draw pictures of beauties, you must be able to draw pictures of murderers, too? Li Yanjing: I can't draw... Please move the knife away, I can draw! Dali Temple Shaoqing: The murderer can draw, so can you draw the recovery picture before the fire? Li Yanjing: I really can't draw this! I... OK, for the sake of fifty taels, it's not like I can't draw. Emperor: Then you must also be able to draw frontier maps and treasure maps? Li Yanjing: ... Please spare me, I really don't dare to draw this!! Help! Where are you, the landlord?! Do you still want to collect rent? Two years after coming to Dafeng, Li Yanjing patted her bulging wallet, thought about the official letter sent from Dali Temple, and then looked at the narrow-faced landlord next door who had failed the public examination for three years. Could this be considered a successful career for her? Narrow-faced landlord: Bah! I was squeezed out of my quota, that's why I didn't get ashore! Besides, I am dedicated to justice and the pursuit of ideals. What about you, what do you have? Li Yanjing said deeply: Fairness, love and justice just lack some persistence. After taking the exam for so many years, most people can't persist. Liu Ziang broke the defense version: Everyone told me that I was squeezed out of the quota, I... Li Yanjing: That's not important, so do you want to reduce my rent? The daily life of a painter who "started his own business" to open up a new track and a landlord who has not been able to get a job after taking the public examination for three years~
