Still bounding along with Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator, up to chapter 430-odd / 60% in. The love interest (the reincarnator) is so tsundere it goes past ridiculous and tips over into adorbs (though only to read about—in person, he’d be too frustrating to put up with irl).

Did have a laugh-out-loud moment when the MC hired lion dancers to celebrate the grand opening of her restaurant. My kid’s in a youth lion dance troupe, and in addition to the usual Lunar New Year performances has done a fair number of business openings/blessings,* so I knew what to expect. Right up to the standard move of a lion unrolling a red scroll held in its mouth—and instead of a blessing, it’s an ad for the restaurant. 💀☠️

* Most have been for nail salons, but a pho joint has hired them for repeat performances on LNY.

The kid’s been doing it for six years now, since first grade. Most of the red packet money goes to the Cultural Center — the kids get a dollar after every performance, plus a bigger packet at the end of the year.
