Blurb:

Three-and-a-half-year-old Jiang Nannan has a nightmare:

In her dream, an "old immortal" tells her that she will die a violent death at the age of twenty. After she dies, future generations will curse her behind her back. The history books will record her evil deeds, and her vile reputation will endure for all time.

Three-and-a-half-year-old Jiang Nannan thinks, Fine. If I'm dead, I won't be able to eat pig trotters anymore. For the sake of food, Nannan will give it her all! She'll transmigrate to the future and save herself!!!

Except...

*

The entire court is shocked!

The young empress dowager, who rules as regent, has turned into a three-and-a-half-year-old toddler.

The new emperor's sudden recovery from his foolishness has set him on a path to seize power. He plans to end Jiang Nannan's life with a cup of poison. But when three-and-a-half-year-old foodie Jiang Nannan sees him, she rushes over, grabs his arm, and says in her baby voice, "Nannan wants osmanthus cakes."

The virtuous prince, who has returned to the capital with a powerful army to support his nephew, sees the little girl asleep on the phoenix throne while presiding over court from behind a curtain, and falls silent.

The wickedly handsome chancellor, who has been biding his time and secretly working with the new emperor, hears Jiang Nannan's deafening snores during court and looks grim.

A courtier from the empress dowager's faction complains, "Your Majesty has been ignoring this humble official lately."

Three-and-a-half-year-old Jiang Nannan is eyeing the pastries on the table, sucking on her finger, with drool almost dripping from the corner of her mouth. In her babyish voice, she asks, "What's ignoring? Can you eat it?"

The empress dowager, who wields power over the entire court, has lately been dreaming about her childhood. Her mother gently asks her what kind of pastries she wants to eat.

Looking at her round self in the bronze mirror, the empress dowager wakes up in fright.
