Fantasy
“Ah… it’s finally the ending.”
After falling asleep drunk on beer, I woke up inside a terrible fantasy novel.
For an entire year, I lived exactly as the trash author intended. Following the original story, I saved the world from the Demon King and finally met my death.
While waiting to wake up back in my original world.
But then…
[Ding!]
[Even when Part 1 ends, the story continues!
And thus begins Part 2!
Welcome to I’ve Ended Up As the World-Saving Saint !]
‘That cursed hack actually wrote a Part 2?!’
“You scam artist! Forget everything else—just send me back to my original world!!!”
In the end, I struck a deal with the terrible author: If I finished Part 2 without anyone discovering my true identity, I’d be sent back home.
“So Part 2 is a childcare story? Fine. I’ll speedrun this damned childcare arc.”
The problem was that Part 2 shared the same world setting as Part 1, so I kept running into my former companions.
And somehow, every single one of them had turned completely strange.
“What the hell happened to these people?”
On top of that, the duchess whose body I possessed was hiding an enormous secret…
“Caw?!”
Will I ever make it back home?

In Part 1, I’ve Ended Up As the World-Saving Hero, she possessed the body of the spirit swordswoman Adela and succeeded in saving the world.

My scumbag dad forced me to go to the countryside? I emptied the house and left him losing his mind.
Era System + Hardcore Rural Experience + Tearing Apart the Worst
Zhou Wanqing, a reserve female soldier from the National Defense University, transmigrates into a girl of the same name in 1970—set up by her scumbag father and vicious stepmother and forced to the countryside!
Her biological mother and grandfather were trampled on and reported by her father after he rose to power, leading to their exile. The original host was even pushed to her death by the stepmother—this score, Zhou Wanqing will settle herself!
The moment she opens her eyes, she’s already being packed off to the countryside? Good thing the “Era Trading System” has arrived!
While others chew coarse buns and drink thin porridge, her space is stocked with rice and cured meat. While others collapse from earning work points, she exchanges for “Super Stamina” to dredge rivers and hunt wild game. While others flatter village cadres, she directly uses future anti-inflammatory medicine to heal the old village chief’s leg, becoming the village’s very own “Little Lucky Star”!
On her very first day in the countryside, Zhou Wanqing climbs a tree to steal bird eggs…The moment Su Cen opened her eyes, she found herself transported into the body of a young orphan girl in the 1970s.
Her father had been a soldier, her mother a battlefield doctor—both fallen heroes who left behind nothing but a traditional courtyard house and a shabby jade pendant.
Who would have thought that the worn-out pendant was actually a heaven-defying cheat item?
Once its spiritual-spring pocket dimension awakened, food and daily necessities were no longer a problem. Life was set.
But no sooner had her grandparents passed away than a pack of greedy relatives showed up, trying to seize the family home and force her into marriage.
As if she'd let that happen.
She was the daughter of martyrs, after all. A quick appeal to the authorities was all it took to put those shameless relatives in their place.
With that mess settled, she set off on the road as a sent-down youth in the countryside.
While everyone else struggled to earn work points, she hid away in her pocket dimension, enjoying good food and comfort.
She spent her days gossiping, watching drama unfold, and keeping a low profile, living a carefree and leisurely life.
Then the college entrance examination was reinstated—
Everyone was stunned.
For the past month, Shen Zhiyao had been having the same dream over and over again—fragmented, yet always the same. In it, she saw her past life.
It was an era of hardship, where people struggled just to find enough food and clothing. She had been sent down to the countryside, living in a small village. One day, a sudden torrential rain triggered a mudslide. Weak and frail, she couldn’t escape in time and was swept into the rushing mud.
Just when she thought she was about to die, a man in a green military uniform saved her. But in the process, the soldier’s leg was struck by a falling tree trunk, leaving him crippled for life. He never married and spent the rest of his days alone.
Ever since those dreams, Shen Zhiyao had been weighed down by gloom. Then, out of nowhere, she obtained a system space—and a vague premonition that she was about to return to that very era.
Wei Yuewu is the unloved daughter of the powerful Marquis Hua Yang. On her way back to the capital city to marry her fiancé, she becomes the target of a ruthless assassination led by her fiancé, Marquis Jing Yuan. With the help of the Prince of Yan State, she narrowly escapes from one disaster after another and returns to the capital. Determined to avenge her enemies and unravel the mystery surrounding her engagement with Marquis Jing Yuan as well as the death of her mother, Wei Yuewu makes a deal with the Prince of Yan State. However, just as she has triumphed over all her enemies and is about to reach the acme of her life, she deliberately destroys her own future and becomes an exile of her own…
Shen Piao, a descendant of imperial chefs, collapses after working through countless sleepless nights. When she wakes up, she finds herself transmigrated into the body of a nineteen-year-old girl with the same name—one who had just fainted from heartbreak after a broken engagement.
Her new household is sparse: only a young brother who keeps his distance, a naive younger sister, and a small two-story house by the river.
With no time to wallow in worry, Shen Piao returns to her old craft—cooking.
The busy canal docks bring in a constant flow of fresh ingredients from all over the country. The capital’s wharf teems with people: hard-working laborers earning a few hundred coins a day, wealthy merchants, and nobles from prominent families.
At the Shen Family Restaurant, there are cheap yet delicious pork intestine buns—despised by some elites but loved by workers, who can easily eat four or five in one sitting, thanks to their soft, fluffy dough and rich filling.
There are also dishes favored by the upper class, like copper-pot lamb hotpot. Outside, snow falls heavily, while inside, warmth fills the room, accompanied by the rich aroma of fine wine.
As time passes, both nobles and commoners in the capital come to know Shen Restaurant. Their recreated Yunnan ham is savory and sought-after, with each piece hard to obtain. Their Cantonese seafood congee is so fresh and flavorful it’s unforgettable—and available only in limited quantities. Freshly butchered Inner Mongolian hand-grabbed lamb, tender and juicy, becomes a favorite among the elite.
In a time of peace and renewal, Shen Piao rises like a wild blade of grass, carving out a flourishing life of her own.
