Everyone else transmigrates to become a princess consort or empress. I transmigrated into Little Swallow from My Fair Princess.
The original Little Swallow risked her life to go to the royal hunting grounds and shoot arrows so Ziwei could reunite with her father. But she was mistaken for a princess and ended up trapped in the palace for the rest of her life.
I thought it over. No way.
I carried the keepsake to the edge of the hunting grounds, then stopped in my tracks. What if I died? What if I said the wrong thing and got my head chopped off?
Run!
From then on, a wonton stall appeared outside the capital. It was called “Swallow Wontons.”
I was the boss, Liu Qing kneaded the dough, and Liu Hong chopped the filling. Life was sweet.
Ziwei asked, “Swallow, you really don’t want to be a princess?”
I rolled my eyes. “Would being a princess be as carefree as I am? Would I be able to swear whenever I want and sleep in as late as I please?”
Later, a middle-aged man in plain clothes came to eat wontons every day. He never paid afterward, saying he’d put it on his tab.
Then a young nobleman came to eat wontons with a blush on his face. He took half an hour to finish one bowl, all the while sneaking glances at me.
Ziwei whispered, “That’s the Fifth Prince.”
My hand shook, and my spoon fell into the pot.
Wait, that’s not how the plot is supposed to go!
Later still, Ziwei was framed in the palace and locked up.
I threw off my apron. “How dare they mess with my sister? They must be tired of living!”
No martial arts skills? No talent for political scheming? No problem.
I, Little Swallow, made friends with nothing but my sharp tongue and a bowl of wontons. That’s more than enough to take over half the capital!
I just never expected that after I rescued Ziwei, the middle-aged man who’d been eating wontons without paying would suddenly say:
“Girl, I want to adopt you as my goddaughter.”
I was stunned.
Wasn’t I supposed to stay out of the palace?
It's very good and beautiful
