Qin Yazhi has just graduated from high school when she and her parents set out to visit her older brother in a neighboring city. An accident sends all three of them to their deaths in the river.
When she wakes again, she discovers that she and her family have transmigrated into a novel. Fortunately, they are only minor cannon-fodder characters who barely appear in the story. Their ending may be tragic, but they won’t have anything to do with the novel’s passionately devoted male and female leads for a while.
So the family puts their talents to work and prepares to make the best of things. But Qin Yazhi’s older brother, who had been living just fine in the modern world, has transmigrated too. The family is all together once again.
Their peaceful life comes to an end when Qin Yazhi picks up a man...
The maids never imagined that one day they would follow their young lady into the imperial palace, let alone that their free-spirited young lady would be trapped behind red walls and golden tiles, sighing over falling blossoms. But they don’t know that once the emperor and empress dismiss everyone, the two of them research the art of cooking braised pork knuckles in the palace hall, and quietly decide to travel the world once their child comes of age...
Qin Yazhi: “Bitter experience has taught me not to pick up random men on the road, but I didn’t listen... What a nightmare!”
Ji Huan: “But if the empress hadn’t saved me back then, how would she get to eat the braised pork knuckles I cook every day?”
But you’ve burned half of them!
Watching His Majesty, the Son of Heaven, confidently wave a spatula, Qin Yazhi silently shuts her mouth. Even if the man she picked up is a terrible cook, she has to spoil him. It’s not as if she can divorce him or anything.
