Transmigrated into the body of an assassin in the imperial bathhouse, she runs into a prince taking a bath and gets a hand around her throat from the start.
Ye Ruochu keeps a straight face as she makes up a story about who she is, then uses her excellent cooking to finagle her way into staying. She becomes the most suspicious cook in Song Qiheng’s household.
She never expected the prince to be so destitute that he had barely anything to his name, to let his brothers bully him without daring to talk back, and to carry the blood feud of his mother, the Consort.
She had planned to cling to his coattails and lie flat. But looking at the table laid with plain congee and side dishes, she clenched her fists. “I may be a modern college student, but I’m not about to suffer alongside you. I’ll help you turn things around!”
Egg-yolk pastries clear the way, flood-control plans break the deadlock, and she tackles infrastructure and corruption at the same time. Your fate is in my hands, not Heaven’s! I, Ye Ruochu, will see that this fallen prince takes the throne!
A tale of fighting injustice, political intrigue, and two strong leads healing each other. See how a transmigrated college student uses modern know-how to help a down-and-out prince turn the tables.
Theme: Healing each other, growing together, and shouldering responsibility for family and country.
