Li Yue, a Peking University archaeology PhD, is caught in an explosion while excavating Maoling. When she opens her eyes, she has become a young cook named Jiaojiao in the household of Princess Pingyang of the Western Han Dynasty.
A transmigration with hellish difficulty from the start? No problem! She wins over the steward with a bowl of pan-fried meat, uses modern knowledge to improve Han cuisine, and manages to establish herself in Chang'an.
She had planned to keep a low profile, stay alive, and find a way home. So she quietly invests in the future general Wei Qing and befriends Wei Zifu while she is still unknown, hoping to attach herself to historical heavyweights and live in peace.
But how can she stay out of the tides of history? Everything goes according to plan? A dazzling performance of “Ambush from Ten Sides” and a line that shakes people to their core, “Fine wines and meats rot behind vermilion gates, while frozen corpses line the road,” unexpectedly bring her to the attention of the young emperor, Liu Che, the Emperor Wu of Han.
Liu Che: How can a mere cook make the stable boy Wei Qing risk his life to protect her, win the favor of the Prince of Liang, and even presume to tell me how to govern my empire? Who are you, really?
Li Yue: Your Majesty, I only want to observe history from the sidelines and, perhaps... become the unattainable white moonlight in your heart.
One day, someone tells her, “History is written by people. Your arrival is my history. And as for lifespan, every day with you is worth more than a hundred ordinary years.”
So she begins using every means at her disposal to fight fate and cheat death.
[Reader Advisory]
This story exists purely to fulfill my childhood dream of transmigrating to the Western Han Dynasty. It does not fully conform to historical fact, nor is it a power fantasy, so proceed with caution if that bothers you.
The heroine is clear-headed and rational, with her wits about her, and strives to preserve herself amid the whirlpool of power.
The romance is full of emotional push and pull.
Hypocritical and sloppy, saying that you invested in Wei Qing, Wei Qing is taking care of you throughout the whole story, and you are thinking about your boyfriend who broke up with you in your previous life. Haha, you seem to be a sentimental person at first glance.
The author, is it be he or oe? Looking at it now, I feel like I am back in junior high school. The heroine has been abused all the time, and there is no actual revenge. The most important thing is that many men like her but actually do trivial things for her, and they don't firmly choose the heroine. It feels like watching Bu Bu Jing and feeling like Ruoxi.
