Reincarnated as a poor farmer’s daughter, she was called a money-losing burden. Her aunt wanted to sell her to an old widower in the village, and everyone dared to walk all over her.
Wrapped in a threadbare shirt, Lin Wan swore in the drafty woodshed, “Whoever wants this miserable life can have it!”
She cut ties with her family and left with nothing, heading alone for the ominous mountain behind the village.
The mountain had plenty of flowers for bees, so she raised them in wooden hives and produced sweet, mellow honey. It also had medicinal herbs, which she processed into polygonatum and gastrodia using traditional methods.
Then she showed off her cooking skills, and the aroma of her honey cakes and crispy gastrodia pastries carried for miles. Her little stall grew into a big shop, and she made a fortune.
The people who had once trampled on her and insulted her turned green with envy and came to make a scene? Hah! She had the severance papers right there, and she’d take on anyone who came at her!
But the mysterious man she met in the mountains always seemed able to clear every obstacle in her path. The owner of the herbal shop tried to sabotage her? He was arrested in no time. Thugs came to cause trouble? They were mysteriously taken away.
Lin Xiao asked, “Who are you, really?”
The man chuckled. “You’ll find out someday.”
She thought it was just a romance in the mountains, never imagining that one day he would reveal his true identity: he was the crown prince!
A crown prince who indulged her in everything, and whose tastes had become extraordinarily refined under her care.
When trouble suddenly broke out at the border, she helped him sweep away their enemies, making delicious, filling army rations and sealing gunpowder with beeswax, a method that never failed.
When he ascended the throne and thousands bowed before him, he took her hand and asked with a smile, “Will you sit beside me and share this vast realm?”
From an abused farmer’s daughter to empress, she not only carved out a splendid future for herself but also brought prosperity to the entire dynasty.
The people who had once looked down on her? They no longer even deserved to look up to her.
