The Lady of Blueprints and Blackmail

He wanted to build bridges. Now he has to burn them. Arthur was a brilliant but overworked civil engineer who died alone in his cubicle. His only wish for the afterlife? A long nap and a boring, normal life. Instead, he wakes up in the body of Taylor von Oakhaven, the despised, frail third daughter of a poverty-stricken Count in a backward fantasy world. The land is filled with mud, disease, and starvation. The castle is falling apart. Her father wishes she was dead, her step-sister loves her a little too much, and her personal maid is dangerously obsessed. But Arthur—now Taylor—is an engineer. He has a System that rewards him for bringing civilization to this dark age. He plans to pave roads, build sewers, and invent the steam engine to buy his way to a comfortable life. It was a perfect plan. Until he found the note under his pillow. Written on modern paper with a ballpoint pen—technology that shouldn't exist here—was a message: "I know you aren't her. Fix this mess, or you're next. — A" Now, Taylor is trapped in a deadly game. She must use concrete and gunpowder to uplift her territory while hunting for a stalker who knows her past life. They thought she was just a useless noble girl. They didn't know she was about to industrialize their nightmares. Fans of "The Greatest Estate Developer"’s comedy, "Release That Witch"’s technology, and "Pretty Little Liars"’s suspense will love this twisted kingdom-building thriller.

The Cube Queen's Apocalypse Feast

#NoCP #PlayingPig (This novel is one of my favorites. I’ve gone back and reread it about 5–6 times now.) Jing Shu has seen the end of the world, and it’s literally a storm of epic proportions, and she’s been given the ultimate do-over: a ten-year rewind. Thrown back in time to just two months before everything goes to hell, she has one mission: to make her apocalypse as comfortable as possible. Forget just surviving. While others are scrambling for canned beans, Jing Shu is building a fortified sanctuary, raising soon-to-be-extinct poultry for gourmet meals, and cultivating a garden of forgotten veggies. Armed with a mysterious evolving cube that grants her a private pocket dimension and a magical spirit spring water, she’s set to ride out the disaster in style. But what’s the point of living like a queen if you can’t enjoy a little revenge? The apocalypse is about to get a serious upgrade in style, and Jing Shu can’t wait for her enemies to see what they’re missing. Let them hear the sizzle of her steak and smell the aroma of her barbecue. Their despair is just the seasoning she needs. In a world where humanity itself is changing, mutating into powerful "New Humans" fused with the chaos, Jing Shu is ready to evolve right along with them. She’s got her cube, her spring, and a plan. The storm is coming, and she has a front-row seat. === English Original Title:《I'm planting a field in the end times》 (Note: Title adapted for tone and readability while preserving the story’s core themes.)
