Another upcoming novel on my profile: "[Period] My Mom Is the Transmigrated Female Lead," about a mother who builds her business from scratch and her daughter, a top student.

Synopsis:

After falling into a deep sleep and failing to wake, An Mingxi opened her eyes in the resource-poor 1980s.

A biased grandmother and grandfather, useless parents, a cousin who stole her job, an aunt who wanted to trade her for a bride price...

Her vision went black. Was Heaven messing with her? There was no way she could live like this!

[Ding-dong! Your golden finger has arrived.

Business System: We'll teach you step by step how to open a shop and cook delicious food. All the money you earn and the shops you own can be returned to your original world according to a set ratio!]

An Mingxi felt like she could take on the world again!

In an era when people at home cooked with little oil and salt and didn't care much about the flavor of their food, the arrival of a food stall was sure to bring the townspeople a huge boost in happiness.

Want to try steamed buns with thin skins and generous fillings? There are all kinds of flavors. Hot, soft, and greasy with every bite, they're impossible to resist.

How about some braised snacks? The chilies were brought in from another province after a long journey, and their heat went straight to your heart. The braised meats are tender enough to fall off the bone and practically melt in your mouth. Whether you serve them as an everyday side dish or to guests at a banquet, they never look out of place.

How about some malatang? Do you like bone broth, tomato, mushroom, or spicy broth? Or perhaps a thick, creamy broth piled high with sesame paste? If that's not enough, there's also sizzling spicy hot pot. Our shop has every flavor you could want.

A new Western restaurant has opened nearby, and it's so fashionable? Then come see how fashionable our burger joint is. It's the only one in the whole city, with an authentic recipe and an unbelievably delicious taste.

There are also hot pot restaurants, dessert shops, milk tea shops, clothing stores, and all kinds of other businesses waiting for An Mingxi to explore.

As An Mingxi kept opening stores, she suddenly realized: Huh? Wasn't I just a street vendor selling buns? How did I blink and end up owning an entire commercial street?

As for those bizarre relatives who regretted everything and still wanted to "inherit" her business, she had four words for them: Keep your distance!

Reading Guide:

1. The male lead has very little of the romance plot. For long stretches, he's in the army.

2. The main focus is running food businesses. There will be other types of shops, but they take up a smaller share. No real estate or stock speculation, and no company-building in a highly specialized field. The focus is on running her own small businesses.

3. There will be family squabbles, the original novel's plot, and biased relatives. The first few chapters especially will deal with the mess she starts out in!!! Although this is a business story, it's also a Period novel! Please pay special attention to this.

While I'm at it, here's another upcoming novel on my profile: "A Triple-Threat Top-Tier Star Takes Over the Entertainment Industry [Transmigrate from Ancient Times to the Modern Day]." Here's the blurb. If you like it, please add it to your library~

Lu Ling, the beloved consort of Emperor Chen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was a notorious beauty who brought disaster upon the kingdom.

She was the emperor's favorite, brought ruin to the state, left Emperor Chen with few heirs, made the empress miserable, drove the concubines to lament, and left the ministers heartsick.

But when Emperor Chen fell gravely ill, his mind cleared before his death, and he finally saw through the wicked consort's charms.

He ordered the empress's confinement lifted, reinstated the deposed crown prince, promoted and rewarded the ministers to make up for the hardships they had suffered for daring to remonstrate with him. The wicked consort Lu Ling was sentenced to death and buried in the imperial mausoleum as the emperor's companion...

Lu Ling died with her eyes wide open.

She had gone to great lengths to rise from low status to become a concubine, and racked her brains every day to win the emperor's affection and secure her place. Every day, she was either currying favor with him or on her way to do so.

All the wealth and splendor had been nothing but a dream. No matter how hard she tried, it couldn't outweigh a casual word from the person in power.

After dying, she arrived in another world.

Her circumstances were unfavorable from the start: her parents were gone, and she had to leave the countryside for the city to work and pay off her debts.

Lu Ling wouldn't repeat the mistakes of her past life. What good was relying on a man? In her previous life, she had still been discarded like a worn-out shoe.

With a beautiful face and the talents and skills of her previous life, she was born with everything it took to be adored by millions.

She wanted to become a star, to be loved by everyone, and to never again let others control her fate at will.

From then on, the entertainment industry had a new star who was all the rage.

At first, people became casual fans because of her looks and thought of her as nothing but a pretty face.

Later, they discovered how dazzling and charismatic she was onstage, as if the light of the entire world were focused on her.

Young, beautiful, and talented, she was the perfect star to invest in as a fan.

Later still, people discovered that she could sing, dance, and perform traditional opera, and that she also had extraordinary talent for acting. One tear from her made the audience's hearts ache; one burst of madness made their hearts tremble.

Most importantly, she always listened to her fans' advice.

When fans asked her to share more of her daily life, she used Weibo like a social-media feed, livestreamed chats every few days, and kept them updated on both big and small things.

When fans told her to focus on her career and cut off romantic entanglements, she worked all year without a break and even tore into paparazzi who spread false dating rumors.

When fans told her to improve herself and accept only high-quality opportunities, she trained in dance, martial arts, and acting, then successfully landed the female lead in a film by a famous director.

When haters mocked her for her lack of education, she turned around and got into the Central Academy of Drama, becoming a formally trained actress.

When haters sneered that she was just a traffic star, she went on to win a Best Actress award on television and a film Best Actress award in quick succession, successfully joining the ranks of serious actors.

Lu Ling's fans were unbelievably proud.

You can't even imagine how happy fans are to have a queen who automatically caters to them and slaps her haters in the face.
