Records of a Qing-Dynasty Consort's Rise to Favor (Transmigration), please add it to your collection~
Jiang Wanxin, a food lover, wakes up one day to find that she has transmigrated to the Qing Dynasty and become the seventh daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Zhao Jia Malhan. As a researcher at an institute's Qing history department, how could she not know who Malhan is? The old man had at least seven daughters, and only had a son in his later years. He earned a place in the history books thanks to his daughter, Lady Zhao Jia, and her husband, the Qing prince Yixian, Yinsiang.
Zhao Jia Wanxin's birth mother, Lady Fucha, died giving birth to her. Emperor Kangxi intends to put Malhan to greater use, so he selects brides for several of his sons from the family. Malhan dotes on Wanxin and wants her to become the Crown Prince's secondary consort, while his fifth daughter is to become the Thirteenth Prince's secondary consort.
After learning about this, Wanxin, who knows Qing history well, makes up her mind: I won't marry the Crown Prince. I want to marry Yinsiang, the most handsome man of the Kangxi era! I won't be a concubine. I want to be his officially wedded primary consort!
Later, Wanxin learns that Yinsiang has already taken two secondary consorts, and she's furious: What a jerk, such a pig-trotter of a man!
Meanwhile, the Thirteenth Prince pores over books at his desk, the tips of his ears turning red. Just who is cursing him?
After the Thirteenth Prince makes his feelings clear, Wanxin no longer follows him around like she used to, and he smiles far less than before.
One day at the palace gate, he sees a perfectly matched couple walking side by side, exchanging smiles.
The Thirteenth Prince's beautiful, almond-shaped eyes narrow. The sunlight seems especially dazzling. But the sky is overcast that day, and there is no sun. Only then does he realize that what dazzles him is not the sun, but the sight before him.
He also begins to miss the soup dumplings, jianbing, malatang, fried chicken and fries, and sushi rice bowls that Wanxin used to make for him by hand.
At last, the Thirteenth Prince understands his own heart, and his long road to winning his wife back begins...
A tsundere, adorable chef wife x a roguish, handsome foodie prince
Also known as The Fragrance Behind the Flower-Rain Curtain (from Yinsiang's poem Spring Day).
Wanxin and the Thirteenth Prince's sweet love story. The Xin-Yi couple is endgame, and the key has been thrown into the Mariana Trench.
