Concept: The young man should only see the painting; I alone know his heart.

Copywriter: Copywriter

After diligently working as a programmer for several years and finally achieving a small degree of financial freedom, She Ning immediately transitioned into becoming a food blogger.

One moment she was thinking about making hair crab butter, and the next she transmigrated to the 1980s, becoming a stepping stone for someone else in a period drama novel.

Before she could even process what was happening, the system that came with her issued a mission: #Complete Corn Sowing Within Today#, with the ability to randomly open blind boxes.

The blind boxes contained all sorts of items, and what she got depended entirely on luck.

She Ning thought: It's not that I like opening blind boxes, I mainly like working. Planting corn is something she's very skilled at.

First blind box opening:

Intermediate Gift Box

Acquired: Incomplete Fishing Net

Note: A fishing net from the magic forest. Legend has it that this fishing net can catch any fish you desire.

She Ning looked at the rope in her hand, didn't understand, but respected it.

Later,

A human trafficker jumped into the water. She Ning, paddling by on a boat, used the rope — the other end of which was tangling the motionless human trafficker — to pull him out.

Indeed, humans with fish lips could also be considered fish.

Second blind box opening:

Intermediate Gift Box

Acquired: Near-new Eye of Truth.

Note: A gift from the deep sea. Legend has it that it can see through any object.

Equipped with it, She Ning planned to act as a woodpecker to save the peach tree outside her house that was infested with insects.

Later, looking at the tree trunk three meters away with a hole in it.

(She Ning thought): It truly lives up to its name; seeing through really means seeing through.

Third time:

Ordinary Gift Box

Acquired: A bag of rice.

She Ning thought: Finally, something ordinary.

Upon opening the bag, she saw that the rice in the drab sack had long grains, a slight green hue, was crystal clear like jade, and emitted a faint luminescence.

Then she read the description:

-- An ordinary bag of rice from the cultivation world. It tastes good, aids digestion, and can prolong life.

She Ning thought: She had underestimated the situation.

Later,

Half a stick of incense, a tattered book, an exquisite bracelet, an unknown fruit…

Various blind boxes were opened.

She Ning thought: Useful, handy.

As for the original plot of the period drama novel?

Whoever wants to follow the plot can have it.

Wouldn't it be better to lead her family to a prosperous life?

Pre-order: I am the Cannon Fodder Wife of a Big Shot [Period Drama]

After waking up, Shen Ning discovered she was the sparsely-mentioned cannon fodder ex-wife in a reborn period drama novel. The readers were furious, wanting her gone.

This ex-wife not only schemed to marry the big shot but also eloped with someone else when he was at his lowest, leading to the death of his only loving grandmother.

Even worse — before eloping, she had sold the big shot's younger brother and sister!

-

Shen Ning was dumbfounded.

What kind of ridiculous plot was this? It wasn't her, she didn't do it, she was a model citizen!!!

When all her memories were restored, the plot had already manipulated her to the point of being at the scene of selling the big shot's siblings.

Moreover, tomorrow was the day the original owner was scheduled to elope with her lover, yet half of the big shot's life-saving money was with her maternal family and the other half was with her lover!

After a calm three seconds, Shen Ning turned around and sent the human traffickers to the police station. She then got the money back from her blood-sucking maternal family and the freeloading lover, telling them to shove it!

Then, to avoid the plot's death, this marriage had to end!

-

Recently, Xu Fei noticed that his troublesome wife had changed.

She no longer took things from her maternal family. The messy house was now spotlessly clean. After work, she had hot meals waiting for her. Not only did she read books herself, but she also tutored her younger siblings and cheered up her sick grandmother…

She even agreed to a divorce.

Was she plotting something? He certainly wouldn't fall for it.

Xu Fei observed secretly. Then one day, he suddenly realized his bankbook was in that woman's hands, he had to give her a massage every night before sleeping, and in his hand, he held a bouquet of flowers he was about to give her…

Upcoming Novel 1: "Guide to Managing a Duke's Mansion," synopsis below:

Meng Xiyi transmigrates into a young lady from a family that runs a funeral supplies shop in the capital. Her family is greedy but exceptionally united.

As she grows up, her parents are reluctant to marry her off and plan to find her a live-in husband.

Unexpectedly, a matchmaker arrives with gongs and drums, proposing marriage on behalf of Zhou Zhaolin, the young master of the Duke Wei's mansion, to wed Meng Xiyi.

A high monk's prophecy states that Zhou Zhaolin's legitimate wife must be born on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month at noon, otherwise, her life will be in danger.

The Duke Wei's mansion and Zhou Zhaolin's reputation are on par; they are known throughout the land.

Zhou Zhaolin: A combination of Duan Zhengchun and Jia Baoyu, the golden phoenix of Duke Wei's mansion, amorous and sentimental, unlearned and unskilled.

Duke Wei's Mansion: A place of extravagant decadence, filled with scoundrels. They specialize in bullying the market, oppressing the locals, and are the historical creators and record holders of the infant boom during mourning periods.

Meng Xiyi is considered to have had the worst luck due to her birth date but has no choice but to marry.

Duke Wei's mansion is in a state of fiery turmoil. Zhou Zhaolin's aunt is a noble consort, and his cousin is the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince is the old emperor's only son, and Duke Wei's mansion is the future emperor's maternal family.

Meng Xiyi to Zhou Zhaolin: No talk of feelings, no mention of marital relations, we're still good friends.

To Zhou Zhaolin's various beloveds: I'm not here to break you up, nor to join you. I'm just here to make money.

However, Meng Xiyi discovers that Duke Wei's mansion is truly unbearable, practically a prime potential client for a coffin shop.

Even making money by watching the show makes her wary, for fear of her family being purged and her head chopped off.

When the responsibility of managing the household falls upon her, she has no choice but to take on this mess to survive.

Meng Xiyi's address when she takes charge of Duke Wei's mansion: As everyone knows, the Meng family runs a coffin shop. Only the dead receive absolute exemption.

Reform is painful. I can only guarantee that I won't be in pain; I cannot guarantee it for you.

Under Meng Xiyi's management, which consists primarily of bloody purges and secondarily of modern corporate operations, Duke Wei's mansion becomes a rare beacon of prosperity and integrity, earning the title of the Great Yong's Moral Household.

◆Transmigrated beauty × Feudal father◆

[Main text completed]

Dai Li never imagined that a normal school trip would lead to the loss of the son she raised alone. She tidied everything up, came to the riverside where the school bus had an accident, and threw herself into the river to reunite with her child at home.

She thought it was the end, but when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.

The surroundings were ancient, filled with the scent of perfume and the whispers of women, as if she were in a welcoming courtyard. Everything felt like a dream.

Dai Li followed her intuition and fled. Along the way, she encountered a domineering man who seemed to be visiting. She tricked him and got away, but she didn't expect him to directly demand her from the owner of the estate.

Later, Dai Li discovered that the man she accidentally met was actually the uncrowned king of the Northern Territory, the only general to have reached the rank of Marquis through military merit.

The world was in chaos, with heroes rising everywhere. She had arrived in a turbulent era.

Nine years old was the first dividing line in Zhou Zhou's life. Before nine, he was his mother's good boy, a candy in a honeypot, and a successor under the red flag. After nine, he became a weed that anyone could step on by the roadside, a wretch who had to fight vicious dogs for survival, and a bloody knife in others' hands, directed wherever they wished.

Alone and with nowhere to go, he had recalled his mother's smile and warmth countless times. He never expected to be reunited with her one day!

Only... looking at the man embracing his mother's waist beside her, he fell silent. Things seemed to have become quite complicated.

Reading Guide:

One Sentence Summary: An ancient love story between middle-aged individuals

Concept: Love and Peace

Synopsis: [A cultivation and leveling-up story] [The new generation's Dragon King is none other than me!] The long road of cultivation. Some are trapped by the mortal world and forget to cultivate; some are infatuated with love and delay their path. But Song Yin is different; she has only one goal upon entering the immortal path: to ascend!

Song Yin was born into a dynasty she didn't recognize, facing a patriarchal family and a strong desire to leave. Before she could even grow up to enact her escape plan, her village was robbed by bandits, resulting in the death of her entire family and her sole survival. Song Yin rejoiced: 666. In the morning, the six-year-old Song Yin, whose entire family had been wiped out, packed her bags, ready to go to town to work and support herself. Passing by a famous large village ten villages and eight townships away, she heard that immortals were descending to select disciples. Song Yin turned her footsteps and squeezed herself in. The chosen Song Yin's expression was stunned, but her eyes gradually lit up: So I've got the script for a reincarnation as a Dragon King on the path to cultivation! Initially, Song Yin, a mortal starting anew, just wanted to live well; later, she entered the immortal path, cultivated into an immortal, and ascended! ^v^/

---

At seven years old, Shi Heming, despite being chosen by the immortal sect, couldn't hide his grief. His parents were killed by bandits, and he shut himself off. Unexpectedly, the frail Song Yin forcefully entered his vision. Shi Heming, annoyed by the disturbance, yelled at her to leave and poured out all the pain in his heart. After expressing his bitterness, Shi Heming felt regret. He felt he had failed his parents' teachings and took his anger out on an innocent person. Who would have known that she, munching on a chicken drumstick, bathed in the golden sunset, said words that interrupted his sorrow.

Song Yin: "Hah, that's all? My whole family was also killed by bandits last night. Don't be sad, just eat something. Life is long, eat and drink as usual, and don't dwell on things." Shi Heming: ........ Later, Song Yin learned that Shi Heming's original family was loving and his life was perfect, while she, at six years old, was so immersed in the joy of escaping suffering that she forgot that others were different. Song Yin felt awkward: My bad!

---

[Small Anecdote] Shi Heming had always been attached to Song Yin since childhood. After growing up and realizing his feelings for Song Yin, his clinginess intensified. To make this blockhead Song Yin open up, Shi Heming acted upright in front of others but employed various methods to seduce Song Yin in private. After a sparring match, Shi Heming stripped off his white robes, changed into flamboyant attire, and pulled open his collar, leaning close to Song Yin.

Shi Heming showed his wound: "Yinyin, the wound on my chest still hurts. It's not your fault for hitting me hard; blame it on my insufficient cultivation. But even though the wound hurts, with Yinyin by my side, I don't feel..." Song Yin, with a righteous expression, stepped forward to examine: "Really? Shall I apply some more topical ointment for you? If that doesn't work, I can smelt pills to heal your heal your injuries." Shi Heming, having failed to tempt her again: ........ Hates you for being a blockhead! Never mind, can't bear to hate you. Song Yin, who had long known his intentions, felt the rise and fall of his chest under her hand, thinking: Hiss, what a beauty, so spicy!

In her previous life, Liu Xi painstakingly helped her useless younger brother ascend the throne, only to be brutally murdered by this ungrateful wretch.

Reborn, she aims her arrows at her foolish brother and tramples on the concubines, vowing to make everyone who wronged her pay the price.

The foolish brother sheds crocodile tears, kneeling to beg Liu Xi for a way to survive.

But she, in turn, pulls out another prince – more astute, intelligent, and grateful.

"Sorry, this princess has a new brother."

...Huo Lin always had nightmares. He dreamt that the princess he secretly loved since childhood died tragically at her own brother's hands. Even though he killed the murderer with his own hands, he couldn't change the fact that the princess was gone.

He became anxious and insecure. The mighty General Huo, spoken of by everyone, was actually a clingy follower of the princess in private.

If the princess wanted to go east, he would immediately clear the road of any offending stones.

If the princess wanted to pick stars, he would gladly offer his own bones to build a ladder to place under her feet.

"The princess has gone mad, she wants to kill the king!" Huo Lin's expression was faint as he offered himself as a knife.

"It doesn't matter. As long as she can live well, even if it means killing the king, so be it."

——Following is the synopsis of this book——

Immortal maiden who cultivates with the sword × Youthful and heroic young sword master

Gentle and powerful sword dao leader × Prideful favored son of heaven who has fallen from grace

Ten years after his death, the mortal world was in turmoil.

Fu Yunyao shook the beast's blood from her sword, a rare moment of remembering him.

She recalled their seven years together and the sword she once left in his chest.

Seven years of tenderness, five years of resentment, all ended with his demise.

But none of that mattered anymore.

Because she found him again.

This former... nemesis, who should have been dead for ten years, reappeared by her side.

He entered secret realms with her and investigated the reasons for the breakdown of the demon realm's seal.

Then, amidst the flying sword energy, his mask fell, revealing a face she would never forget.

The once arrogant and unrestrained young sword master was now entangled in demonic energy, his meridians broken.

Only those eyes she once loved the most still held their gentle tenderness.

Fu Yunyao held his former sword and pressed it against his neck.

The blade was stained with his blood, just like the sword that pierced his chest back then.

Yet, he didn't seem to care about the killing intent on the blade.

He simply said:

"I promised I would always be with you."

*

When Fu Yusheng was seventeen, he was already a sought-after young sword master in the cultivation world.

In his life, he firmly believed in only two things: the sword in his hand and the person in his heart.

He promised to always be with her.

So, he dragged his demonic energy-entangled, meridian-broken body back to her side.

Even as her sword pointed directly at his vital spot, he remained confident.

"She couldn't possibly want to kill me."

——

"In those days of suspicion and confrontation, he was the only one who remembered that they had walked through long years together."

"The wild wind had unintentionally broken her branches, but now, he only wishes to stop for her, to mend everything."

Reading Guide:

1. 1v1, HE (there's a reason for him being the nemesis, I won't spoil it!)

2. The entire story is not a one-sided romance. Besides the main characters, everyone can entrust their lives to each other as close friends, and only as friends (platonic relationships are okay, but romantic pairings are not!).

"My Senior Brother Can't Be a Villain"

"I only want my bright moon shining high."

【Willful Sword Dao Prodigy Junior Sister vs. Gentle, Fallen Grand Senior Brother】

The daughter of Guixu Immortal Lord, the greatest swordsman in the world and Ancestor of Yunmengze, a highly anticipated new generation sword dao prodigy, is actually... a pill cultivator.

Wen Nancun hated Guixu Immortal Lord and the sword dao talent she inherited from him. In the vast Yunmengze, the only person she liked was her senior brother.

Senior Brother was like the moon hanging high, gentle and tolerant.

His sword-wielding hand could also pick up a brush to copy scriptures for her when she was punished.

While traveling, he never forgot to find the best alchemy medicinal materials for her.

He would gently stroke her hair and say to her:

"Suisui, Senior Brother favors you."

Later, amidst the falling snow, his white robes were stained with blood, but he still stood in front of her.

He blocked all the killing moves and led her to break through the formation.

Wen Nancun was carried on his back. Step by step, he walked slowly and steadily, leaving bloody footprints on the white snow.

The girl's forehead rested against his neck, and her palm felt the warmth of blood that wasn't hers.

She spoke, her voice very soft.

"Senior Brother, teach me how to practice swords, please."

She only wished for her bright moon to shine high.

Then rumors began to spread that they all said the once radiant and upright, new generation sword dao leader, the Grand Senior Brother of Yunmengze, was the reincarnation of a demon god and would surely harm the world.

They said Senior Brother had massacred a town near Yunmengze.

Wen Nancun, who was traveling outside, did not believe it.

A demon god?

Senior Brother had just sent her a message yesterday, reminding her to be cautious about everything.

She sneaked back to the sect.

She wanted to save her Senior Brother.

That day, she held her sword, its blood-stained edge pointing directly at her former fellow disciples.

"I've come to see my Senior Brother."

"I want to see Shen Yunjian, who is pure and innocent."

*

When Shen Yunjian was sixteen, his master brought back a young girl who was only five years old. Her eyes vaguely resembled those of Guixu Immortal Lord.

One day, Shen Yunjian returned from his training journey. Under the sparse moonlight, the girl's suppressed sobs echoed in the courtyard.

Shen Yunjian silently watched the small figure under the pear blossom tree.

Finally, he squatted down in front of the girl and offered her carefully wrapped pastries.

Shen Yunjian gained a junior sister who had exceptional talent but preferred pill cultivation over the sword dao.

But it was alright; he could afford to support his junior sister.

Next story: "Running to My Deceased Husband's Brother" or "Spring Courtyard Regret," please collect~

When Shen Mi was fifteen, her father and brother died in battle. Overnight, only she remained of the Shen family. Orphaned and alone, her childhood sweetheart married someone else.

To comfort the meritorious officials, the Emperor conferred upon her the title of Jia Ning township mistress and decreed a marriage to the Crown Prince, Gu Zhan, as his concubine.

Gu Zhan, the legitimate eldest son of the current Emperor, was appointed Crown Prince in his youth. He was dignified, upright, and steady, possessing a virtuous reputation.

Shen Mi knew she had no support in her current situation, so she put away her former self and acted gently and considerately towards Gu Zhan.

Though Gu Zhan held no marital affection for her, their relationship was one of mutual respect, which she found sufficient. She even began to develop feelings for him.

Therefore, no matter how late Gu Zhan returned from handling state affairs, she would patiently wait with a lamp, never urging him or losing her temper.

Before long, she became pregnant. Everything was going too smoothly, making her believe that her life still held hope. However, the imperial physician's diagnosis of "false pregnancy" shattered all her illusions.

Gu Zhan said coldly, "I despise deception more than anything in this life."

This was her first experience with such an event, and she didn't realize she was being framed. She tugged at Gu Zhan's sleeve, wanting to explain, but he violently threw her hand away.

From then on, all her previous careful efforts became useless.

*

She originally thought Gu Zhan was born with such a cold and aloof disposition. But one day, she went to his study to deliver soup and overheard his conversation with a subordinate.

"Miss Su and His Highness were childhood sweethearts with deep affection. Does His Highness wish to submit a memorial to welcome her as the main consort? Or directly establish her as Empress after ascending the throne? After Concubine Shen has a child, their son can be raised by Miss Su."

She cautiously waited for Gu Zhan's reply.

Instead, she heard Gu Zhan say, "I will consider this matter further."

Shen Mi froze completely, then quietly left with the soup she had personally prepared.

That night, Gu Zhan did not return to their chambers as usual. Shen Mi, however, did not sleep at all.

She was once pampered by her father and brother, treated as their precious pearl. She was not born inherently quiet and uninteresting.

She, who once never lifted a finger to do chores, had learned excellent cooking skills to survive under Gu Zhan's roof.

She thought that sincerity could move mountains, but she didn't expect that Gu Zhan wouldn't even want to leave her anything.

She shouldn't have harbored any illusions about Gu Zhan.

She began to plan how to escape this man-eating Eastern Palace.

*

Initially, Gu Zhan had no real feelings about the arranged marriage. He merely thought that if the Shen氏 was willing to be obedient, it would be harmless.

After marriage, Shen氏 was indeed as he expected: obedient and sensible. Thus, he found the fear of a wife and the chaotic bickering of other married couples utterly nonsensical.

However, one night when he returned home a little late, he heard news of a fire in their sleeping quarters. By the time he rushed over, the pavilion had collapsed. His Shen concubine was buried within, her remains not even forming a complete body.

His heart felt an emptiness. From then on, he found it increasingly difficult to sleep at night. Only by holding the sachet Shen Mi had embroidered for him did he feel slightly better.

Four years later, he was ordered to quell a rebellion and stopped at a teahouse in Runzhou while passing through.

The teahouse proprietress served him tea, saying, "Please enjoy, sir."

When he looked up, he met those eyes he had longed for day and night.

He grabbed the person's sleeve and softly called out her childhood nickname: "Zhi Niang."

The proprietress hastily dodged, "Sir, you have the wrong person..."

He curved his lips slightly, "Since you believe I'm mistaken, why do you avoid looking at me?"

A resilient white flower x a cunning Crown Prince.

Pre-order: "Running to My Deceased Husband's Brother" Synopsis

Gentle and resilient noblewoman x cunning and sinister warlord.

Nine years after marrying her husband, Ying Laiyi was forced to separate from him due to war, and her husband's fate was unknown. While fleeing from rebels, she escaped into Liang Prefecture, held by the renowned and meritorious General Lu Ce.

Lu Ce was her husband's half-brother. It was rumored he was an outcast in the family in his early years, which led him to abandon literature for the military. After ten years of campaigning, he had become a regional lord.

Initially, Ying Laiyi was worried that Lu Ce would resent her due to the mistreatment he received from the Lu family in the past. Therefore, she always restrained her demeanor and spoke cautiously in front of Lu Ce.

Lu Ce also never called her "Sister-in-law," only referring to her as "Miss Ying."

She knew she was already living under someone else's roof and dared not ask for more. She could only think of Lu Ce in all matters, large and small, to repay his protection.

Before coming to Liang Prefecture, Ying Laiyi had heard that Lu Ce was ruthless. At first, she thought it was a rumor. It wasn't until she received news of her husband and intended to go to him, but was stopped by Lu Ce, that she realized she had never truly known Lu Ce.

Lu Ce asked her, "Where are you running off to? Didn't you promise me you would stay?"

She sensed Lu Ce's improper intentions and replied with pursed lips, "Lu Ce, I am your sister-in-law."

Lu Ce, however, cornered her against the wall, "We are both of the Lu clan. If older brother can, why can't I?"

From having nothing to becoming a warlord in chaotic times, Lu Ce never paid heed to romantic affairs.

Until he saw that young woman among a group of disheveled refugees and his heart stirred.

He pointed in her direction from afar, and his subordinates understood, making an exception to let her into the city.

At first, he merely intended to use Ying Laiyi's name for reputation and to gain popular support for his ambitions.

Later, he put on the act of a proper gentleman in front of Ying Laiyi and executed a subordinate who coveted her. Yet, she still planned to look for that useless brother.

In that case, he couldn't be blamed for building a golden cage for her, ensuring her eyes and heart could only see him.

Gentle and resilient noblewoman x cunning and sinister warlord.
