My new story, Setting Up a Stall and Raising Kids in Ancient Times, is now underway. The blurb is at the very bottom.
Blurb: Reborn five years in the past, Lu Youyou finally says goodbye to the hopelessly naive person she used to be.
If her stepmother dares to replace her medicine with poison and trick her into drinking it, she'll dare to send her stepmother a pair of "silver bracelets."
When her stepsister uses a sob story to steal her musical compositions again, Lu Youyou publishes them herself without hesitation and unexpectedly wins a Golden Melody Award.
In this life, Lu Youyou has a healthy body, becomes a singer-songwriter famous across the country, protects the inheritance her mother left her, and cures the insomnia of Movie Emperor Pei, her close friend from her previous life. Life couldn't be sweeter.
But why does Movie Emperor Pei, Pei Zhiyan, seem a little different this time around?
She's not sure. She'll keep an eye on him.
Pei Zhiyan: "Sorry for giving you the wrong idea."
With that, Pei Zhiyan leaned down and kissed Lu Youyou on the lips.
Just a second ago, Lu Youyou had been nodding furiously. She'd known it: her friendship with Pei Zhiyan was as pure as could be.
The next second, Lu Youyou froze. She saw Movie Emperor Pei as a friend, but he wanted to hit on her? What was she supposed to do? Help, she's kind of desperate...

My new story, Setting Up a Stall and Raising Kids in Ancient Times, is now underway. Please add it to your reading list!
Lin Xiaoman, a vegetable-type ability user, survived for over a decade in the apocalypse, only to die in the end during a zombie horde attack.
After transmigrating, she finds herself a young widow in a farming family.
Her husband died on the road to the capital to sit the imperial examinations. Her parents-in-law were so devastated by the news that they fell ill and couldn't get out of bed. Her sister-in-law, widowed for three years, took the opportunity to steal all the family's money and elope with her lover. Her two little nephews were so neglected that they were gaunt with hunger.
The villagers all urged Lin Xiaoman to remarry as soon as possible.
With the one tael of silver her mother-in-law had invested in her, Lin Xiaoman looked at the mountains behind their brick house, shouldered a basket, and took the two little ones up the mountain.
She gathered a basket of mushrooms, herded a flock of ducks, then set up a stall in the county seat. Her food business was a huge hit.
Silver flowed in, the children were dutiful, and her parents-in-law were no trouble.
Life was so blissful it felt like being an immortal. Only a fool would remarry.
But just as Lin Xiaoman and her family were making their lives better and better, the man who was supposed to have died on the road to the capital suddenly appeared.
Lin Xiaoman, who had somehow acquired a husband: ???

When he finally woke, Xie Heng had his sister-in-law arrested and hurried home with a heavy heart.
But before he even reached the door, he saw a smiling young woman come out.
Lin Xiaoman?
No, she wasn't Lin Xiaoman! Who was she?
