A Sweet Treat to Remember

Check out my upcoming story, Swinging Between Assassin and Divine Physician. Blurb at the very end.

Hao An transmigrates to ancient times and becomes a farmer’s daughter with no parents.

Besides looking after herself, she has a younger brother to raise.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Hao An decides to return to her old trade and sell desserts!

But sugar in Dayan is so expensive.

Just as Hao An is saving up her capital one coin at a time, someone comes right to her door.

Her aunt tries to mooch off her, fails, and ends up paying back everything she’d taken, with interest.

There’s her seed money!

A mobile stall has limited space, so she’ll start by selling simple treats.

Ice jelly, milk tea, and bowl cakes.

Shaved ice, fermented rice wine, and dorayaki.

Step by step, Hao An grows Haoji Desserts from a stall into a shop, and from the county town to the prefectural city.

Now that she has bread, surely cake can’t be far behind?

Now that she has cake, why not make some jelly too?

And that’s not all. Coconuts, mangoes, cocoa... If it can grow in the ground, she wants it all.

What? She can’t find any?

Then she’ll build a ship and set sail!

She’s going to let the people of Dayan experience a whole new world of desserts!

The female lead is entirely focused on making money. She just wants to get rich.

There are domestic squabbles.

The male lead appears late and has little page time.

Swinging Between Assassin and Divine Physician

Blurb 1

The first lesson in assassin training is to be discreet, ordinary, and indistinguishable from the crowd.

But Li Yinghe is as dazzling as the morning clouds and as radiant as the shifting light. She was born without knowing what it means to be discreet, ordinary, or indistinguishable from the crowd.

Blurb 2

On a dark, windy night, just as Li Yinghe is about to successfully take out Young Master Qian, she’s spotted by one of the household servants. With no choice, she flees in a hurry.

Barely a moment later, Li Yinghe returns to the clinic, only for servants from the Qian household to pound on its door.

Li Yinghe immediately grabs her money pouch, ready to flee again.

But then a servant outside shouts, “Doctor Li, wake up! My young master is hurt. Please come take a look at him!”

Li Yinghe floats back to the Qian residence and, “putting the past behind her,” pulls the blood-soaked Young Master Qian back from the brink of death.

That’s how Li Yinghe’s medical skills become famous overnight.

A few days later.

Shen Wuliu presses her: “Why haven’t you done it yet?”

Li Yinghe: “I’m waiting until he’s completely recovered.”

Shen Wuliu: “?”

Li Yinghe: “If he dies now, people will think my medical skills are poor, and it’ll hurt my reputation as a divine physician.”
