No Returner Outside the Hall of Eternal Life

share time: 2025-12-04 00:34:37

Su Xiaotang, the most "invisible" maid in the Hall of Eternal Life, gains mind-reading ability after accidentally drinking half of the Elixir of Immortality—only to run into Li Chengyu, the sharp-tongued Fifth Prince exiled to guard the elixir. She hears his inner rant: "Even mosquitoes here are more precious than me!" but has to pretend to be a thoughtful maid, mistaking his complaints for orders: breaking the emperor’s glass lamp, smudging his court robe, pouring sour plum soup on his shoes… Just as their lives descend into chaos, the elixir is stolen, and the emperor orders their execution! To survive, Su Xiaotang uses her power to help Li Chengyu investigate—only to find this sharp-tongued prince has long secretly pitied her red eyes when she breaks things, and secretly looked forward to her osmanthus cakes while complaining about her nagging… Along the way, they encounter hilarious villains: the imperial chef who stole the elixir to save his sick mother, the prime minister’s son who tries to frame Li Chengyu but exposes himself… And Li Chengyu has long seen through her mind-reading secret—turns out the elixir’s side effect is "telepathy only with your beloved"! In the end, Li Chengyu blocks her at the hall gate with half a bottle of elixir: "No returner outside the Hall of Eternal Life? I’ll be your returner."
