In the eight years since Emperor Xiao Yuan ascended the throne, he had never shown interest in women, leaving the imperial harem practically empty. Rumors ran rampant, and the entire court was tearing its hair out over the lack of an heir. Then one day, Lin Xiaoxiao, a young peddler from Chili Pepper Town, was mistaken for a consort candidate and swept into the palace. While the other consorts practiced their music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she set up a chili stall in the harem. While they competed to outshine one another, she won over the whole palace with a bottle of her secret chili oil! The aloof Emperor Xiao Yi had never met a woman like her. She looked at him as if he were a big-spending customer. His pursuit of her began with being forced to eat spicy food and secretly helping her business, then descended into one chaotic, hilarious mishap after another. Watch as the “Chili Consort” shakes up the entire harem with a bottle of chili oil, achieves her dream of opening a shop, and casually wins the emperor’s proud, stubborn heart.
When I read the author's works, I was first attracted by his smart and lively writing style. The text seems to have been infused with soul. It is not only smooth and natural, but also has a unique charm intertwined with the smoke and fire of the city and the splendor of the palace. The author is good at using precise and fresh metaphors to vividly depict the characters' expressions and moods on the page, allowing readers to smile knowingly while also being deeply immersed in the atmosphere of the story. In terms of plot construction, the author shows extraordinary ingenuity and control. The entire story frame seems to be out of the ordinary, but in fact it is logically self-consistent and has a relaxed rhythm. It avoids the heaviness and intrigue of the palace battle theme, and uses "food" as the entry point in a new way, making the tone of the story light and bright, with dense laughter but not vulgar. Every turn is full of unexpected surprises, which is fascinating and makes people can't wait to see the follow-up development. Character creation is one of the greatest highlights of this book. The characters in the author's works, whether they are protagonists or supporting characters, are by no means flat symbols. The image of the heroine is particularly three-dimensional. She is not a resentful woman waiting for redemption in the traditional sense, but a woman with clear goals and strong vitality. Her unique perspective and acting style constitute huge dramatic tension. The portrayal of the aloof emperor also avoids stereotypes, and the delicate changes in his inner activities are portrayed in clear layers, making the emotional development of two people who seem to be in the world appear reasonable and interesting. Finally, I have to mention the author's powerful picture description ability. While reading, I can hear the thrilling and heart-warming sounds of the interactions between the characters. This strong sense of picture and use of synaesthesia creates a fairy tale world that is both real and dreamy for readers, bringing an excellent sense of immersion. All in all, the author uses his exquisite writing, innovative plot, vivid characters and cinematic visuals to demonstrate the profound skills and unique vision of an excellent storyteller.
