A red door suddenly appeared in Dorm 504. It led to the imperial kitchen of a fictional dynasty, and, even more strangely, only the girls could pass through freely.
Everyone in the palace was horrified. The strangely dressed women on the other side of the red door, carrying "phones" and "computers," seemed extraordinary. After getting to know them, the palace folk took them for fairies descended from heaven and served them the palace's finest delicacies.
From then on, the girls of Dorm 504 enjoyed a wonderful life of eating their way around an ancient imperial palace.
At midnight, everyone in Dorm 504 was too hungry to sleep, so a little palace maid on duty in the imperial kitchen brought them dragon's beard candy.
At a dorm party, Xu Li opened a packet of durian stinky tofu river-snail rice noodles. The head chef in the imperial kitchen muttered, "Fairies really are different. They even eat shit..."
On Saturdays and Sundays, the girls from the dorm and the princesses wore Hanfu as they explored the ancient food street, then released river lanterns by the river that evening.
One day, turmoil erupted in the palace. A prince and princess with nowhere to run were hunted by the treacherous ministers' followers. Dorm 504 risked everything to save them, armed with the dorm's big knife and boxing gloves, and the assassin on the other side of the door got the middle finger.
The assassin stared in disbelief at these women who did nothing but eat, drink, and have fun, then touched the bruised ring around his eye where a punch had landed. "How can a woman possibly be this strong..."
Chen Shuning, carrying the big knife, pointed at the floral print on the dormitory bedsheets. "Sports college."
Li Qiao, wielding a wooden stick, produced a stack of certificates. "Outstanding student."
Lin Leyu, wearing boxing gloves, took off her coat to reveal muscles stronger than the assassin's two arms put together. "Bro, you need to train more."
Xu Li twirled her nunchucks and raised her middle finger. "Finished? Then get lost."
The prince's eyes lit up. "Fairies, would you consider joining the Imperial Guard? All the food and drink you want, princesses to keep you company, and you can pet the palace cats as much as you like!"
Bonus scene: The two sides hold an ancient-versus-modern food showdown. The other side presents bird's nest from 1982. Xu Li sneers. "If I offer up a pack of Weilong spicy strips that cost fifty cents, how would Your Excellency respond?"
[The author's personal preferences. The main cast is strong and capable, and the romance is one-sided. A lighthearted, silly comedy about food and shopping. Don't scrutinize the logic or real-world details. The dynasty is fictional.] The blurb has been screenshotted.
Theme: Good food should never be wasted.
