Synopsis

Yang Yi has just graduated from high school and hasn't yet started university when she transmigrates to London in the 1960s.

With no identification, she's about to be treated as an illegal immigrant.

The English she'd studied for the written portion of the college entrance exam is completely useless.

What should she do?!

Luckily, the British dramas she'd watched to practice her listening comprehension come to her rescue.

The handsome gentleman on the street corner, with his brown-green eyes, is one of the main characters from that show.

He's the only person Yang Yi recognizes in this foreign country.

Grab him!

[Pre-release] The Cook's Daily Life at a London Hotel in the 1960s

The staff at the Fiennes Hotel are as follows:

The owner, Barr, likes looking down on people and dreams of bringing a few upper-class guests to his nearly bankrupt hotel, instead of poor people who stay just one night in a single room without a bathroom.

The owner's wife, Lily, is dignified and graceful. She likes working part-time at the theater every evening, and her greatest wish is to become a famous opera singer. Though she's now forty-eight and reduced to extra roles, she's become the grandmother of the extras.

Uncle Tom, the chef who loves to drink, often passes out drunk in the kitchen while guests are ordering, leaving them furious and driving them away.

Shelly, the waitress who disappears for a week every month, dreams of becoming a professional artist, though for now her profession is hotel waitress.

Betty, a local who can't speak English (and a transmigrator), dreams of having a room facing the Thames, with a little garden behind it, where she can watch the sunset after work instead of the moon just before it sets.

With the hotel owner leading four runaway wild horses, they finally "pull together" and manage to save the hotel from the "predicament" of nearing bankruptcy and having to live off rent.

[Pre-release] Can I Bring Peace to a Ruler of a Fallen State in the Spring and Autumn Period?

She transmigrates to the Spring and Autumn Period and becomes the daughter of Wu Zixu.

She watches as Goujian and Fan Li fan the flames and ruin the finances of Wu to build the Guanwa Palace, while Xi Shi is just like Daji and Moxi, a beauty who brings ruin to the state.

"Enter the palace. Your father has spent his life serving the realm and has failed you. Don't resent me. Always remember to advise the king, even when your words are hard to hear."

Father, you probably don't know the miserable way you ended up feeding the fish in the river after speaking those hard-to-hear truths.

But Wu Yao knows all too well, and she thinks the only reason she'll survive her trip into the palace of Wu is that her enemies will show her mercy.

It's common knowledge that Wu currently has four major enemies watching it like hawks.

First, Goujian: His years of enduring hardship have driven him mad, and Wu Zixu nearly destroyed his kingdom. He hates them bitterly, enough to want to bite Wu Zixu's flesh to pieces and devour it.

Second, Xi Shi: The enchantress who Wu Zixu cursed as a ruinous seductress. She hates him to death, ready to take advantage of his weakness and kick him while he's down.

Third, Taizai Pi: Slandering loyal ministers is the least of his sins.

Fourth, Fuchai: He's in a bad mood, so he might as well kill her.

Underrated Fandom Romance

I stumbled across a few stories that I think are pretty obscure, with not much content on JJWXC. I haven't read most of the originals and only know the characters in broad strokes, so they might be out of character.
