The Fifth Princess Consort's Laid-Back Days (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

[The new novel, Everyday Feasts After Being Divorced, is updating now]

After transmigrating into the legitimate wife of Yinsi, the Fifth Prince, Tatalha Fuyin felt she'd landed on her feet.

This prince had been raised by his grandmother and stayed far from the struggle for the throne, so she didn't need to worry about him ending up confined or executed.

As his legitimate wife, she didn't need to worry about being mistreated in the prince's household.

And as for having no children of her own, Fuyin thought: Could anything be better?

If she didn't eat, drink, and have fun now, when would she?

While the other secondary consorts and concubines in the household were busy competing for favor and coming up with all kinds of schemes, Fuyin thought: The egg tarts from my improved oven taste great.

While the other wives and secondary consorts outside the household were busy socializing and making connections, Fuyin thought: These grilled lamb chops really do taste better with cumin.

While the other princes and their wives were busy showing off in front of Kangxi's consorts, Yinsi and Fuyin slipped away to get some air and unexpectedly ran into each other in the imperial garden...

Later, everyone knew that the little kitchen in Fifth Prince's wife's courtyard always came up with something new.

When Yinsi went to pay his respects to his mother, he was fed a mouthful of souffle too. Even Kangxi, who usually never cracked a smile, looked pleased. "Fifth Prince, your wife certainly has a knack for coming up with clever ideas."

Yinsi, tasting Fuyin's cooking for the first time: ...

Back at the household, Yinsi lingered outside the main courtyard, unable to bring himself to enter. It really was hard to visit the courtyard of the legitimate wife he'd neglected for two years!

Many details are fictionalized. Please don't nitpick historical accuracy.

The next novel is Everyday Feasts After Being Divorced. Here's the blurb:

Wei Yixuan transmigrated into a book.

The good news: She was the heroine.

The bad news: It was a groveling romance novel.

Wei Yixuan mentally reviewed the whole story. After the heroine was divorced, she returned to her family home, where she soon became depressed and bedridden. Only then did her ex-husband finally realize how important she was and come back to make amends.

By then, most of the novel's angst-filled scenes had already played out, and the divorce papers landed right in the face of the newly arrived Wei Yixuan.

Wei Yixuan picked up her small bundle and went straight home. She wasn't about to get tangled up with some lousy man.

But her father was unreliable, her mother was sickly, and her two younger siblings were still little and hungry...

Wei Yixuan rolled up her sleeves. First she chased her ex-husband two miles down the road, then grabbed a spatula and set up a little food stall. In less than half a year, everyone in the Wei family had healthy, rosy cheeks, and their restaurant was thriving too.

One day, Wei Yixuan came home from her stall and discovered that the usually haughty Prince Lu was politely asking her neighbor, Jiang Yuzhou, for something.

Well, look at that! The original plot had reached the part where Prince Lu, who had abandoned his wife and child years ago, bitterly regretted it and begged Jiang Yuzhou for forgiveness, hoping he would return to the family!

That night, Jiang Yuzhou came to the Wei home for another free meal and said he would never set foot in Prince Lu's residence.

Wei Yixuan, who had perked up her ears to enjoy the gossip, quickly put a drumstick in his bowl herself. After all, he was going to be the top scholar one day!

After they married, the two families knocked down the wall between their courtyards and became one household. Before their newly built, wide, imposing red gate, the increasingly round Jiang Yuzhou took Wei Yixuan's hand and reminded her, "I hear the custom of grabbing a husband from the successful candidates is still going strong. You'd better come get me early today!"
