Jiang Jianyue is a mechanical engineer and an amateur food blogger. Her biggest problem in life is that a rival company copied her code. Then she found a ring-shaped jade pendant and, on a whim, sent a rice cooker to ancient times.
Li Hanzheng, the young emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty, was deep in thought in his study as he stared at the “divine treasure from the immortal realm” that cooked rice by itself. He ordered an investigation into the “demon woman” even as he studied self-heating hot pot with devout fascination late into the night. Was this woman, who kept sending him the strangest things and playing “decadent music,” trying to corrupt him, or did she have some other motive?
The gifts went only one way, but their concern for each other slowly became mutual.
When she ran into danger in the business world, the jade pendant against her chest grew hot. In another time and place, he stayed up all night waiting for news. When he was trapped by court politics, warmth traveled back through the pendant in her palm, and she sent him coffee and tiramisu.
Then one day, the pendant blazed with light. A tyrant in imperial robes, sword in hand, suddenly appeared in the middle of her living room, which was cluttered with robot parts and snacks.
Their eyes met.
“Jiaojiao,” he said, pointing the tip of his sword at the can of cola beside her, his phoenix eyes narrowing. “What is this? A new kind of poison?”
Staring at the ancient man who had dropped out of the sky, Jiang Jianyue quietly tightened her grip on her guitar pick. Only one thought remained in her mind:
This is it. The tyrant really came to collect his delivery. And it looks like he has no intention of leaving.
