The next novel, The Princess Taiping Who Made Someone Cry Again Today, is open for pre-orders. Please add it to your favorites. The blurb is at the very bottom.
After transmigrating into the Tang dynasty as a noblewoman, Yuwen Xiudoluo had yet to explore all the splendor of Chang'an or admire all the handsome young men of the Five Mausoleums when Emperor Gaozong, Li Zhi, arranged her marriage to Prince Zhao, Li Fu, a man she had never met.
After the wedding, she came up with two modest goals: divorce Li Fu and open a restaurant to fund her escape.
Soft, chewy mirror cakes, fragrant steamed pork, refreshing green rice cakes, and delicate lotus pastries drew hungry customers, who lined up outside the West Market. She made a fortune.
In an age when merchants held little status, Yuwen Xiudoluo assumed that her outrageous decision to open a restaurant would surely make Li Fu divorce her.
Who could have guessed?
Yuwen Xiudoluo: "Don't walk past without stopping! Our restaurant serves green rice cakes, lion's head meatballs, soup dumplings, stuffed eggplant, and much more. The best of northern and southern cuisine, all in one place!"
Li Fu: "The princess consort is behaving outrageously. How can she take up such a lowly trade... It really is delicious. Could I have another mirror cake?"
Years later, when the people of Chang'an saw the handsome and refined Prince Zhao wiping tables at the restaurant, they had long since gotten used to it.

[Little scene]
Before Yuwen Xiudoluo fed him, Li Fu: "The princess consort behaves strangely and lacks propriety."
Yuwen Xiudoluo: "Exactly, I lack propriety. Hurry up and divorce me."
After Yuwen Xiudoluo fed him, Li Fu: "A-Wan is clever and skillful, beautiful, and kindhearted."
Yuwen Xiudoluo: "I am not! I didn't! Just go away!"

After working herself to death at her computer following endless overtime, modern office worker Li Lingyue discovered that she had transmigrated into the body of Princess Taiping.
Her parents were Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, and Empress Wu Zetian. The beloved child of the family, she was the richest woman in the Tang dynasty from the moment she was born, and would later become the all-powerful Princess Taiping.
Li Lingyue threw back her head and laughed: "I'm Princess Taiping! Who could possibly scare me?"
So she decided never to put up with anything again, asking herself three questions every day:
Am I being too polite? Am I letting him get away with this? Should I speak up and tell him off?
When faced with her cousin's fake sweetness, Taiping said, "Could you make your performance as small as your fortune?"
When faced with an oily, overconfident man pursuing her, Taiping said, "Your parents must have a great sense of humor to have given birth to a joke like you."
When faced with her best friend's horrid mother-in-law, Taiping said, "Send her to the kitchen to prepare fish. She seems to be best at picking bones."
Later,
Poets wrote of princesses sent to marry beyond the borders: "Since our princess went to marry among the Hu, half their customs have become like those of the Han."

4. Features food, including recreations of some Tang dynasty recipes.
Theme: Research and promote ancient culture, recreating the prosperous Tang dynasty.
I felt frustrated reading this article. The author's writing is good. In fact, the food and some things or folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are very fascinating. However, the heroine's character, the settings of the male and female supporting characters, and the way to advance the plot all reminded me of the super ancient time travel novels about twenty years ago. , The heroine has a bit of a pretentious attitude. In the early stage, she didn't want to get married but didn't dare to resist her mother, so she married her first and then told the hero that she didn't want to. The next day, the hero left her and wanted to leave, but she blamed him for leaving her. She would be blamed by her mother. In ancient times, the rules were strict. Her first thought was to give a dowry to the maid next to her. He was freed from slavery because it was unfair in the eyes of modern people... And then he went to find the male partner again and again to ask the male partner to help find a store so that he could open a restaurant without telling the male protagonist... It's not impossible to advance the plot like this, but it can obviously be better. It's outrageous that the reasoning is like an ancient line... I blame myself for buying 20 chapters in one go. Every time I am attracted by some content, I get choked up by the magic tricks that promote the plot or promote the relationship between the male and female protagonists. It's so frustrating. I'll just treat it as a minefield for everyone.
Wu Zetian should be the longest-reigning queen in the Tang Dynasty. Because of the strange political chaos after the mid-Tang Dynasty, only two of the thirteen emperors after Suzong of Tang Dynasty had appointed queens. Among them, Tang Dezong's queen died of illness half a day after the canonization, and the last empress He did not hold a canonization ceremony. Therefore, Wu Zetian can set many Guinness records for the queens of the Tang Dynasty, such as the longest reign, the longest time in power, the most sons, the most sons killed, and theoretically the worst background... Wu Zetian's husband Gaozong also set a record for the only emperor in the Tang Dynasty who changed queens. Among the twenty emperors of the Tang Dynasty, there were only eight queens in total during their lifetimes. Three of them were all surnamed Wang, and all those surnamed Wang had a tragic fate. It was true that men were silent and women were crying.
Didn't I say earlier that he was the one who spread the news?
Damn it, I miss the shepherd's purse dumplings at home. I bought the shepherd's purse this year (to help my mother) and everything stopped when I got back to school. Huo Huo, Fu Fu is so cute, just suitable for such a duplicitous young man.
Wine is the matchmaker for sex????
The author has finally updated, and the flowers the children have been waiting for are all gone?
Wow, Li Fu and Shuta Luo started well and ended well. Ah Fu is really lucky. His biological mother is the first Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty. He finally got to see her.
An old-fashioned aristocratic woman who loved preaching went against the rules and kissed Canli. No wonder the emperor thought she was farting.
Looking forward to a smaller version of Yu Wenxiu
The author writes so well, I also want to travel around the Tang Dynasty
