The Turbulent Frontier: A Bun That Saved the Fallen Empress

share time: 2025-12-28 00:31:22

Lin Chuan, who transmigrated into a frontier army cook, had just mastered his "Grain Exchange System" when he encountered Jiang Youning—the fallen empress being chased. She huddled by the stove in rags, her eyes still blazing with imperial pride, yet she stared hungrily at the warm bun in his hand. On impulse, Lin Chuan handed her the bun, unexpectedly triggering the "Protect the Empress" quest: he had to help her restore her kingdom and handle her contrast from "I don't need pity" to "Lin Chuan, warm another bun for me." With the frontier army short of food and enemies at the gate, Lin Chuan used the system to produce corn and potatoes to save the day, and even taught Jiang Youning to cook porridge and sew. Watching her eyes redden from steam, hearing her awkwardly say "This porridge is better than the imperial kitchen's," even the frontier brothers went from laughing at him "raising an emperor" to following him to victory. But before the restoration ceremony, Jiang Youning clutched his衣角 and cried: "What I've always wanted wasn't the throne—it's the warmth of your palm when you handed me that bun."
