After finishing I Am Average and Unremarkable by Yue Xia Die Ying, I turned around and started Like Pearl and Jade by the same author. This one's a historical romance, so roughly on the same lines as her Eight Treasure Trousseau, with some differences: the MC is only 10 at the start, and is a transmigrator from something close to our world/era. This last detail is very understated -- she's not using modern knowledge to advance herself in any way, only to reflect on the world she's in by contrasting it to the history she knew. Well, and also to behave somewhat more maturely than others expect.

Anyway, am ~15 chapters in, out of ~100. It's about half the length of Journey to the West, which I've decided to use as my measure for c-novels.

ETA: Oh, and a detail that amuses me: the food in the imperial palace is not as good as in households of higher aristocrats, because the imperial chefs are too worried about making a mistake to cook with flair. This sounds all too plausible.
