The Nineties Mystery Food Box

Not recommended.

After He Tingting died unexpectedly, she transmigrated to the 1990s.

She brought along a rather rudimentary blind box System.

She could open one blind box a day. Nine times out of ten, it contained cooking ingredients, and the remaining time it held some little trinket she didn't recognize.

The only ones left in the family were her and her ten-year-old younger sister.

To put food on the table and earn enough to send her sister back to school, He Tingting returned to her old trade as a chef.

She set up shop from a three-wheeled cart, and wasted none of the ingredients from her blind boxes, tossing them all into her iron wok.

In less than a week, He Tingting became the most famous lunchbox beauty outside the university.

That wasn't all. After eating her food, students said they found studying easier than ever, as if their minds had suddenly opened and they could learn anything quickly.

This caught the attention of the university leadership.

A group of professors bought He Tingting's meals together. They felt sharp and clearheaded, as if they had grown ten years younger, and went on to solve several technical problems.

In an era without the internet, He Tingting made a name for herself by selling meals from her cart, catching the attention of the university leaders.

When they offered her a job, He Tingting didn't hesitate for a second. She explained the blind box situation, then happily joined the university cafeteria as head chef for the professors' and doctoral students' dining area.

She had barely had a few days to enjoy herself when the leaders came rushing to find her again.

"Is the information here accurate?"

He Tingting took a look. Wasn't this the cartoon treasure map she'd drawn from a blind box?

She had casually handed it over when explaining the situation earlier.

She gave an awkward smile. "I don't know, either. I'm unlucky. I don't usually draw things like this."

But when they sent people to investigate, there really were rare metal deposits at that location.

She thought that was the end of it, but the next day a neatly dressed male student showed up to block the kitchen door.

He Tingting jumped. "What are you doing?"

"Don't get the wrong idea," the handsome young man explained. "I'm here specifically to help with your work."

"Help? What kind of help would I need?"

Seeing her confusion, he cleared his throat and explained, a little embarrassed, "I'm one of Professor Wang's students. The teachers usually call me their lucky star."

He Tingting understood at once.

They'd sent her a walking good-luck charm.

Later, when professors and experts from Xia Kingdom attended an academic exchange conference, they were all full of energy and looked ten years younger than the top researchers from other countries.

A reporter asked curiously, "You professors all look so energetic. Do you have any wellness secrets to share with everyone?"

The head professor, white hair and all, replied with a cheerful smile, "The key is to eat and drink well and be happy every day."

The Princess's Eunuch

Zhao Xi had a secret.

Ever since she was ten, she'd had the same nightmare over and over.

In the dream, her father the emperor died vomiting blood, the empire descended into chaos, her second uncle took away her infant younger brother and used him to control the court, then gave her to rebels from the White Lotus Sect to quell the palace rebellion.

She had always been cautious, never daring to tell anyone about her nightmares.

Then, one day, her father really did die vomiting blood, despite still being in his prime. Only then did she realize that everything in her dream was true.

Remembering how she had been abused and humiliated to death in the dream, Zhao Xi steeled herself.

She would kill her uncle, seize the throne, and keep the White Lotus rebels from her memories where she could watch them closely.

The moment Zhao Xi took the throne, she suddenly heard a strange sound.

[Host bound. The Emperor Development System is at your service!]

At that moment, the memories sealed away in her mind returned, and she remembered that she came from a thousand years in the future.

Li Taian had only recently risen to the rank of chief eunuch when Emperor Nanhui suddenly died of an illness. The palace fell into chaos, and Li Taian took the opportunity to place his own people in key positions. Just as he was about to seize power amid the turmoil, Princess Changning appeared out of nowhere.

In a single day, she made the Prince of Zhenbei bleed across the palace hall, striking fear into the court and the inner palace.

That night, Li Taian sent out a secret letter.

[The Grand Princess must be killed.]

Even he never imagined it.

A few months later, he would personally take a blade meant for Zhao Xi, just to prove those words:

"I am willing to die a thousand deaths for the princess."

*A real eunuch.
