In May, a celestial stone fell into the fields beside Xiuxiu's home. At the same time, she acquired a secret.
Carrying that secret with her, Xiuxiu fled to the imperial capital. She found a godmother, took a master, and settled down to work as a little kitchen maid.
She'd hoped for a peaceful life, but kept running into that man surnamed Zhou from the cookware workshop.
He was cold-eyed, taciturn, and rude, and his gaze was always following her.
Xiuxiu felt a chill run down her spine. She shot him a sidelong glance and wanted nothing more than to get as far away as possible.
But in this world, the very thing you fear is the thing that comes to pass. An imperial edict came crashing down, and the two of them were forced onto the Tianrun.
On a dark, windy night, with the waves raging and the ship rocking, the secret of the celestial stone came to light, and she could no longer keep her own secret either.
As tears pattered down, she thought that they had never been meant for the same path.
But when the candlelight flickered, she saw Zhou Yun wipe the blood from his hands and smile at her. "Well, Xiuxiu, looks like we were made for each other."
1. Both are physically and emotionally pure, one-on-one romance. Neither lead is perfect.
2. The heroine changes her name to Zhao Rou when she arrives in the imperial capital, but in the main text she is primarily called "Xiuxiu."
3. Fictional setting. Some details are author-created, so don't overthink them.
4. Aside from quotations and references, every word in this book is original, written by hand, and infused with the author's hard work. If you don't like it, feel free to drop it at any time. Please don't slander or put it down in comparison to other works. Respect the author's labor. There's no need to tell me when you drop it.
Theme: Like a firefly in the dark, let your heart turn toward the bright moon.
Really the best brother on the list hahaha
It only took me 0.001 Seconds to get it, you can try it too 🐶
Wow, it's rare to see such an open-minded father in the old saying.
Why didn't I understand why Chen Fu wanted to make a bet with Zhou Yun when he wanted the recipe? I was confused.
Killing people will kill the heart. Killing people will kill the heart.
It's time for the female channel to eat something good.
Don't blush all the time [rolls eyes]
Although the young master is late to see the joke, he has arrived
The rice dumplings are so bitter just looking at them. There is something wrong with me.
