The new book is out! Meng Yunhan has been reincarnated back to the time of 'food coupon era', a time when people struggled with food and clothe shortages. But she is not afraid this time around. Equipped with a 'cheat code', she is ready not only to start her own business but also to grab a hold of her stoned-face brother and even support Baozi, her child. Stoned-face brother: "Wife, let's pack up Baozi and leave!" He claims that having a son who is even clingier to his wife than himself is utterly shameless! "Mommy, let's get a new daddy!"

"My pants are already off. Stopping now would be a bit redundant, don't you think?" Everyone knew the cool, aristocratic Chairman Li was sick, but only Rong Yan knew the man was problematic and sick in the head. That day, she was accosted at the bedroom entrance. Long arms held her against her will as the man leaned into her ear and whispered, "Marry me." Rong Yan struggled to no avail. Frustrated, she said, "I have a boyfriend of five years."

"Just to really liven things up." Interviewer: "No, Immortal Zhou Li, I feel that you've done so much for humanity, for the Immortal Realm, and for Da Ming. Your purpose and starting point should be a bit more noble, such as...?" "Enough already, can't you see? I just wanted to bring some entertainment to the spiritually impoverished Great Ming Dynasty and everyone in the Cultivation World. Here, let's liven things up for everyone."
