Wanwan was resentful. According to the laws of transmigration, shouldn't a transmigrated woman like her be comfortably lying on a soft bed after waking up, with a maid or beautiful woman calling out to her with concern? What kind of situation is this? It completely defies the laws of transmigration! When Wanwan finally understood the identity of this body, she immediately roared to the sky: "Author, you've got the script wrong! This kind of Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) leader setting is really not suitable for a delicate flower like her!" The heir of the Marquis of Dingbei was resentful. His days in the manor were already a living hell, and heaven knows what got into the Emperor that he had actually betrothed that Chief Constable of Tianmen who could stop children from crying at night. Yes, that's the same strong, dark-skinned, muscular woman who had beaten him up in the street a few years ago. The handsome young prince stared speechlessly at the sky. Haha~ The Emperor's imagination has run wild; what if he suddenly feels like he doesn't want to live anymore? Not martial arts, not political intrigue, just a proper ancient Chinese romance novel.

My new book, "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World," is now available. Welcome to check it out! Mu Nianfu once thought that if heaven gave her another chance to be born, she would want her father to be a second-generation official, her mother a second-generation businessman, and then marry a rich and handsome man, living a high-class and luxurious life ever since. Unfortunately, she guessed the beginning correctly, but not the ending… What? You think giving me the blessing of the Fire God will stop my complaints? But what good is this piece of junk besides starting a fire and cooking? Therefore, Mu Nianfu became sad. Therefore, Mu Nianfu fell into depravity. So, this is a pseudo-farming, pseudo-domestic drama story, but in reality, it's a story about two foodies meeting and going through all sorts of trouble to eat and drink well.
