About This Novel
A five-year-old blind girl, A Tuan, was born blind but has an extraordinary sense of smell. She makes a living selling rice dumplings on the streets of Chang'an with her adoptive father. On the Lantern Festival night in the last year of Zhenguan, her bowl of glutinous rice dumplings stuffed with ginger juice and sesame made the emperor who was on patrol incognito shed tears. Just because the snacks she makes can make people dream about the person they most want to see. For a time, the name of "Tangyuan Fairy" spread throughout the capital. She was taken into the palace and lived in the east palace and the west wing. She used her taste to attract love and stir up the affairs of the six palaces. The imperial concubine set up a trap, and the prince remained silent for ten years because of her. The general shed tears when he smelled the incense, and the foreign envoys knelt down to beg for a meal. She doesn't know tricks, she only knows how to cook with heart. And her arrival is quietly awakening the sleeping warmth of an empire.
