THD Chapter 8

 Ye Shiying finally agreed to give it a try. Partly because Ye Xiqing's plans sounded surprisingly convincing. And partly because exciting news arrived from Miao Shuangshuang. She got the job. Ye Shiying clutched the radio, hardly believing what she was hearing. At the time, color televisions were still considered luxury items, but black-and-white TVs had already become common. Even many rural families owned one. In the countryside, appearing on television was a tremendous honor. To ordinary villagers, the people inside that little box were practically celebrities. Yet now her own daughter was going to be on television. How could she not be thrilled? With spirits running this high, what was there to fear about brewing a few batches of liquor? Brew it! As for whether Ye Xiqing dared to start a liquor-making business with nothing but theoretical knowledge... Of course she dared. In chemistry class, she'd performed experiments with even less preparation. What was there to be afrai...

THD Chapter 7

Compared to Ye Shiying's simple confusion, the system had a far more ominous premonition. Cautiously, it asked, “Host... how exactly do you have a brewing recipe?” Ye Xiqing tilted her head and looked at it. As the system's anxiety grew more and more obvious, she slowly smiled. “System, why are you asking me?” “Whether I have a brewing recipe or not depends entirely on you, doesn't it?” “As the pinnacle of technological achievement, obtaining brewing information should be a very simple task for you.” “I need your help now.” “So?” “Will you help me?” The system froze. It stood there in stunned silence for a long time before finally realizing— It had been tricked. Completely tricked. Was a brewing recipe valuable? Of course it was. For a winery, it was one of the most important assets imaginable. But within the system store? Not really. Hadn't it just sold Ye Xiqing an entire set of high school textbooks and practice materials—literally a mountain of information—for only ...

THD chapter 5

Adding 100 beauty points to an ugly person wouldn't make much difference. But adding 100 beauty points to a beautiful person? The effect was immediate. Miao Shuangshuang cupped her face, unable to believe what she was seeing. In the span of a single night's sleep, her appearance seemed completely different. She had always been pretty. In a small town, she could easily stand out from the crowd. But later, after moving to bigger cities—especially after entering the entertainment industry—she gradually lost that confidence. Yet this morning, the moment she glanced at herself in the mirror, even she was stunned by her own beauty. After a brief moment of shock, Miao Shuangshuang immediately began wiping the mirror. Could there be something wrong with it? Was she seeing things? Clearly not. Because Ye Shiying was equally stunned. She had always been proud of giving birth to such a beautiful daughter, but she had never imagined her daughter could become this beautiful. Had her skin be...

THD Chapter 6

I've seen shameless people before. But I've never seen anyone this shameless. The system laughed in anger. “Through me? You sounded so ambitious just now that I thought you'd want to rely on yourself.” Ye Xiqing tilted her head calmly. “Why would I think that?” “Aren't you my system?” “Just because we've argued a few times doesn't mean you're not going to help me.” “Wouldn't it be a little stingy if you didn't?” System: ... Who's stingy?! At least show the attitude of someone asking for help! Do you look like you're asking for help at all?! But the system couldn't actually refuse. No matter what, it had already bound itself to Ye Xiqing. And once a show had started, it couldn't simply end halfway through. Its backend chat was already flooded with "HAHAHAHA" comments. One could easily imagine the disaster that would unfold if it became so angry that it forcibly sent Ye Xiqing back. Stay calm. Stay calm. Let Ye Xiqing be the o...

THD Chapter 4

Ye Xiqing didn’t want to pay attention to any of this. She looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. The walls, dilapidated from years of neglect, were cracked open. Inside, there was only a large earthen bed covered with a dirty straw mat. Everything told Ye Xiqing that she was no longer in her original world. Was she doing well in her original world? Was there anything in her original world worth cherishing? She hadn’t thought about these questions in her original world, and she couldn’t find the answers in this new one. But ultimately, this world was irrelevant to her. Ye Xiqing coldly observed everything, her heart heavy with despair. The onlookers had all left, leaving only the Miao mother and daughter, and the mess on the ground. Ye Shiying, having endured for so long, finally couldn’t hold back and launched into a tirade against her daughter “What the hell are you trying to do! Have you lost your mind! You’ve ruined such a wonderful marriage for the Lu family!” “Do you know ...
