[New Story: After Her Inner Thoughts Leak, the White Moonlight's Image Crumbles] is on my homepage. I'm playing clappers online to beg for follows!
Lin Tang transmigrated.
The good news: she became the legitimate daughter of an official family.
The bad news: she'd already been exiled three thousand li away.
Lin Tang: Well, since I'm here, I might as well keep my head down... What else can I do?
She kept her head down and somehow managed to open a little restaurant on the frontier...
At some point, the merchant caravans that used to come and go only through Liuan Town suddenly all came to a halt.
The merchants ate red willow lamb skewers in one hand and smoked plum drinks in the other, their mouths slick with grease. "Tomorrow. We'll definitely set out tomorrow!"
When tomorrow came...
The caravans, just about to leave, stopped again. "What? The Lin Family eatery has new dishes again! We'll have one more meal today, then definitely leave tomorrow. This time, for sure!"

Pei Zheng, heir to the Duke of Zhenguo, was a prodigy of dazzling talent. In white robes and silver armor, he wielded the unfathomable Liquan Spear, making him the brightest star in all of Chang'an.
Alas, once the birds are gone, the bow is put away. The Duke of Zhenguo was framed for colluding with foreign powers, and the entire estate was destroyed in an instant. Only Pei Zheng was saved when his cousin secretly switched their identities, allowing him to be exiled to the frontier.
On the way into exile, everyone avoided him. The only one who dared to pass him a bean cake through the bars was the Lin family's young legitimate daughter, who had no idea how high the heavens were.
Later, bandits attacked the convoy. In the chaos, a loyal servant rescued Pei Zheng. When he awoke, he searched for the girl, but found only her mangled remains beneath a cliff.
Pei Zheng gathered her remains and erected a grave marker. From then on, he never spoke of her again.
Yet one year, while passing through the frontier, he saw the young lady who should have been reborn, smiling brightly at him. "Sir, stopping for a meal?"
---Coming Soon---
Lan Xi transmigrated into a melodramatic tragic romance as the frail Crown Prince's deceased white moonlight.
When the Crown Prince was hungry, she brought him soup;
when he was cold, she made him clothes;
when he was ill, she kept watch through the night;
when he was framed, she went around pleading with people on his behalf.
Then, once he ascended the throne, she would die.
She had planned to diligently follow the plot, fake her death, and claim a generous reward package. But as the story progressed, things seemed to be going wrong.
Why did the Crown Prince's gaze seem so strange?
The Crown Prince's perspective:
That night, the Crown Prince's high fever refused to break. He opened his eyes in a haze and saw only his Consort Lan keeping watch by his bedside, her almond-shaped eyes red and tear tracks still damp on her cheeks.
Moved, the Crown Prince was just about to reach out and wipe away her tears when he suddenly heard an impatient female voice say, [She gets a common cold and ends up this sick? Hah, what a weakling.]
Crown Prince: ???
[Bonus Scene]:
Everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that Consort Lan was deeply in love with the Crown Prince, devoted to him heart and soul. Even if everyone else betrayed him, she never would.
One day, the Crown Prince summoned his trusted chief steward and ordered him to investigate whether Consort Lan belonged to some mysterious organization.
The steward was stunned and asked whether His Highness could point him in the right direction.
The Crown Prince thoughtfully replied that the members of that organization might like to eat from basins.
The steward's eyes widened. How could he tell?
The Crown Prince furrowed his long brows, hesitated, then said, "One day, I heard Consort Lan muttering: 'Those who live to eat, eat with their soul; those who live to eat use a basin for every meal.'"
