Blurb:
A new show, The Crown Princess's Daily Life, has premiered in the interstellar livestream room. The hosts are a young couple about to be married, one called Lin Daiyu and the other the Crown Prince.
Viewers: I get it. This is an immersive Red Chamber setting with a marriage-first, love-later romance, redemption, and face-slapping. I’m into it. Stream more!
There’s no imagined face-slapping comeback. Instead, there’s blanched Chinese flowering cabbage, hibiscus chicken slices, red date and pigeon soup, fish marinated in vinegar lees... The list goes on and on.
That looks so good, so good, so good... The viewers drool and gain ten pounds in a fit of outrage.
One day, Lin Daiyu and Yinzhen get a craving and team up to sneak some chocolate that was presented as tribute from overseas. One coughs nonstop, and the other breaks out in red rashes all over. The imperial physician prescribes medicine with practiced ease.
Viewers: Who could possibly be more food-obsessed than you two?
The couple decides to travel outside the capital. The livestream room gets an upgrade, and viewers excitedly send comments, waiting for a reply. Nothing.
The next day, countless carrier pigeons fly into the room with notes in their beaks. The viewers are stunned. So this is how you deliver comments!
Wait, you two slept in the same room last night?! You really are Lin Daiyu?! You’re Aisin Gioro Yinzhen?!
The viewers are dumbfounded. Lin Daiyu is dumbfounded. Only Yinzhen downs his medicine with the grim resolve of a man facing death. He got kicked out of bed last night and sprained his wrist. This cursed body has to be fixed!
Little Scene 1:
After traveling for more than a decade, Lin Daiyu is healthier and even more of a foodie. When she discovers she has gained weight, she touches her belly in disbelief, then pinches Yinzhen’s abs.
Lin Daiyu: Have you been secretly working out?
Yinzhen: What kind of silly little fool is my Crown Princess?
Little Scene 2:
When Kangxi travels south, a monk and a Daoist tell him: Crown Prince Yinzhen is not of this world. He was born with knowledge, and can only survive by severing all family ties and attachments.
Yinzhen, who secretly had a child with Lin Daiyu: I’m afraid I’d scare you to death if I told you. My kid can already run around.
[Key points]
1. Marriage first, love later
2. A reborn, chronically ill Crown Prince who’s given up trying x the frail, food-loving livestreamer Lin Meimei
3. The Crown Prince just gets sick easily. He’s no weakling! He’s very capable (in every sense).
