Jin Xiuzhu is dead, swallowing a cup of poison wine, ending all her past grievances. Before dying, her only wish is to be reborn as a man in the next life, as being a woman is just too bitter.... more>>

Her parents favored sons over daughters, selling her off at the age of seven. She ended up in the Marquis' mansion, becoming a lowly maid, toiling tirelessly every day. Later, when she was transferred to the courtyard of the eldest son, the lady of the house feared that her beauty would seduce the eldest son and decided to marry her off to a servant who beat his wife. It was then that she actively resisted.

Using all means, she became the honored Lady Jin in the backyard, thriving even after the mistress of the house passed away.

Unfortunately, the Marquis' mansion fell out of favor, siding with the wrong master. With the ascension of a new emperor, all the men in the Marquis' mansion were beheaded, and the women were given poison wine to end their lives.

Jin Xiuzhu closed her eyes in relief, but little did she know that when she opened them again, she had somehow transmigrated to a completely unfamiliar dynasty, as a widow whose husband had just died. Not only that, when her husband's comrades came to visit the family, she resorted to tactics to latch onto them, all for the sake of leaving the impoverished countryside.

Song Fei’s university life was nothing special. He took his compulsory courses, skipped his elective courses, and took the CET-4 and CET-6. ... more>>

If he had to point out one thing that was bothering him, it’d be his “bad penny”, academic tyrant ex-boyfriend— Qi Yan. As the saying goes, exes, like villains, are hard to raise: too close and they’re impertinent; too far, then there’s resentment.

He thought his university life would pass by uneventfully just like this, until that day, when an infected classmate rushed into the examination hall…

The zombie virus spread like wildfire. All communication was cut. Campus turned into hell.

No one knew what the outside world was like. And no one knew if they should “persevere and wait for rescue” or “break through the heavy encirclement”.

Song Fei chose the latter. Qi Yan actually became a comrade-in-arms.

Without the power to exterminate everything in sight, without a martial arts expert’s physique, on this once familiar campus, they can only rely on their own knowledge and tenacity to fight for survival! <<less

By accident, she rises from a canteen worker to head chef, becoming the revered Chef Gu of the Cultural Troupe whom everyone fawns over and dares not offend!

Just as Gu Qian starts to enjoy her good days, she catches the eye of the renowned young master of the troupe, Jiang Haizhao…

Jiang Haizhao, just graduated from university, is the most handsome and eligible bachelor in the troupe. Unfortunately, he unknowingly provoked the newly promoted fiery little chef, who only gave him a piece of chicken… bu*t for lunch.

How could a young master endure such humiliation? He grits his teeth and pulls her into a secluded corner.

“What did I do to provoke you?”

The little chef looks confused: “N-nothing…”

“Nothing? Then why did you give me a piece of chicken butt?”

“…”

Do you believe me if I say it wasn’t intentional?

***

Because of a piece of chicken butt, Gu Qian falls into Jiang Haizhao’s trap.

He threatens her, demanding that she must cook special dishes for him every meal from now on, or else…

“Or else what?”

Jiang Haizhao raises an eyebrow, his smile devilish: “Or else… I’ll stew you.”

“…” <<less
