The Great Beauty Who Came to Work in the Prison Canteen
1
In the 1990s, there were no surveillance cameras. Criminal masterminds of every kind took turns showing off their skills, then landed themselves in Harbor City Prison in one fell swoop.
That day, the inmates were in an uproar!
A stunning beauty had come to work in the canteen!
Her eyes were dewy, her little hands fair and soft.
The kitchen-helper position became highly sought-after. Every nonviolent offender eagerly applied.
The inmates who couldn't get the job would spend the whole day furiously working at their sewing machines just for a chance to see her at the serving window.
The first time she appeared at the serving window in her old work uniform, the whole canteen seemed to freeze.
The robber standing closest forgot to breathe and fainted, eyes rolling back. Even as they dragged him away, a dazed smile remained frozen on his face.
A serial con artist ordered nothing but a spoonful of plain rice at every meal for three days, just to hear her ask, "What would you like?" one more time.
Even the guards were secretly straightening their clothes.

If Su Yupen's beauty was a visual shockwave that rocked the whole prison,
then the ordinary iron ladle in her hand unleashed a taste explosion capable of destroying everything.
After one mouthful of cabbage soup, an embezzler broke down in tears and confessed where he had hidden the stolen money. "Please extend my sentence! Let me eat here for two more years!"
One bite of fermented tofu, and a murderer covered his face and crouched in a corner, sobbing. "Mom! I miss you! I'm a monster!"
The guards collectively lost it. "We stand guard and eat pig slop, while murderers get to eat like kings? Is there any justice? Any fairness at all?"

Su Yupen was the youngest daughter of the head chef of the imperial kitchen, and she had inherited his culinary skills.
Once she transmigrated into a prison in the 1990s, the whole canteen went crazy!
Seeing the inmates' performance soar and the guards break down in frustration, the warden said, "I've got to see what all the fuss is about!"
