Blurb:

Song Xia unexpectedly receives a gift from the underworld on her twenty-second birthday: the Book of Life and Death.

The Book of Life and Death reveals who lives and dies, and summons ghosts.

In recent decades, the underworld has been overwhelmed with ghosts and monsters. With too few officials to handle the workload, plenty of them are still stranded in the world of the living.

As the book's owner, every time she sends a ghost or monster from the mortal world to the underworld, she earns a sum of money.

Song Xia, so broke she can hear coins rattling in her pockets: How could I pass up an opportunity like this?

So she rummages through her pockets and scrapes together enough to open a shop with nothing in it. On the surface, she sells things, but really, she wants to make it convenient for ghosts and monsters to come by so she can send them on their way.

From then on, she wields the Book of Life and Death, guiding spirits across, deciding life and death, and saving lives.

Then, without even realizing it, she goes from poverty to prosperity.

Song Xia: I get it now. If you want to make money, you have to catch ghosts.

To hold on to this iron rice bowl, she makes a plan to become a full-time underworld civil servant. As a temporary outside hire, her plan is: five years catching ghosts, three years of practice exams.

She vows to pass the civil service exam within the allotted time!

Only much, much later does Song Xia learn that all of this was a gift the ghosts and monsters gave her from the depths of the distant underworld...

She is the darling of ghosts and monsters.

[Disasters + business simulation + light farming + food]

Ye Qing is caring for the flowers and plants at home when she suddenly transmigrates to another world.

This world suffers from year-round natural disasters, is teeming with ferocious beasts, has scarce land, and is full of mutated plants. When she arrives, the world is in an ice age, with temperatures close to minus 60 degrees Celsius.

She's wearing thin cartoon pajamas, has no money, and has only a gardening shovel and a dilapidated little inn that leaks wind from every direction.

To survive, Ye Qing shivers as she picks up the shovel and digs hard into a flowerpot.

In the twelfth year of the Great Cataclysm, people around the world thought they would be tortured to death by endless natural disasters. But then they discovered a mountain inn in a danger zone.

Warm orange-yellow lights, steaming hot food, and fertile farmland. Tiny sprouts poking through the earth brim with life.

For the first time since the Great Cataclysm, they see green plants that haven't mutated.

Everyone goes wild.

Ye Qing's mountain inn becomes a sensation, and her business flourishes.

At the inn, a warm bonfire burns eternally through the ice age, air conditioning and watermelon provide relief in the extreme heat, and there's always light during the endless night...

Many years later, people revere the inn as a holy site. They praise its owner, shouting:

"She's kind, clever, and powerful. She's the god who saved us, the savior of this world."

Ye Qing, hailed as the "savior," smiles and says, "That's just basic stuff for a business simulation player."
