Chronicles of the Palace of Nanqi: I Worked as a Cook in the Cold Palace

The subject of time travel is really a cliché. However, this article is still a bit surprising. Generally, time travel themes are fictional, so it is easy to write, but it can be seen that the author is prepared to work hard on historical details. Several historical figures and places appearing in the novel have obviously undergone some research, giving the whole story a sense of reality amid fiction. The protagonist Song Yi'an changes from a modern gourmet to an ancient concubine named Xie Guifei. This role change is not only interesting, but also a test of the author's writing skills. The book describes the Southern and Northern Dynasties, including clothing, etiquette, food culture, etc. Especially when historical figures interact with the protagonist (Who is Liu Lang? Liu Xie?), It feels really good as if a historical picture has been opened. Food should be a highlight, but I feel like it could use some spices to stimulate readers' taste buds. Whenever Song Yi'an starts cooking, I feel that the author's description in this aspect makes people feel like they can smell the aroma of the dishes. However, the pacing of the first few chapters does seem a little slow. Maybe it's to lay out the characters and background, or maybe it's to make room for these nuanced historical descriptions. Despite this, I am still a little anxious and want to see more conflicts and climaxes as soon as possible. I hope the author can be more diligent, haha. I look forward to seeing Song Yi'an display her wisdom and talent on this complicated historical stage!
