辅Tao Ti, a little taotie* cub, transmigrated and became the bride of the sickly crown prince who was meant to chase out his ill-fortune but ended up committing suicide by ingesting poison.
Met by the disgusted gazes of everyone in the Eastern Palace, Tao Ti was a little flustered.
Just then, the crown prince who was rumored to soon die from illness comforted her, “Don’t be scared, I’ll give you a letter of annulment before I die, and return you your freedom.”
Tao Ti was stunned, “A-alright.”
Inwardly, she thought, “A gentle and beautiful man; I’m fine with this!!!”
Later——
When the crown prince was ridiculed, Tao Ti rolled up her sleeves to defend him.
When the crown prince was sick with a high fever, Tao Ti boiled the medicine herself.
When the crown prince’s appetite was poor, Tao Ti cooked, fried, steamed, and baked.
Everyone in the Eastern Palace: Safeguard the best crown princess in the world!

The prince of the outlying tribe was muscular and bold; he planned to abduct Taoti to the grasslands once the crown prince died.
The crown prince broke the prince’s leg, then, in the middle of the night, blocked Tao Ti.
Tao Ti’s voice trembled, “Your… Your Highness?”
The crown prince’s eyes were dark, and his smile was warm. “If I had known that you liked wild ones, I would’ve stopped pretending.”
*T/N: Taotie are ancient Chinese mythological creatures with an insatiable appetite, commonly emblazoned on bronze vessels. It’s now used as a term to describe gluttonous people. Written as 饕餮, it’s pronounced ‘Tao Ti’ in Chinese, which happens to be a homonym of the FL’s name, 陶缇 (Tao Ti).
Everything about this novel was a hit. The villains weren't stupid, there's a past that's just waiting to be uncovered by everyone and tons and tons of dog food. A thing to be noted though; I didn't feel like all the loose ends were tied up when it came to questions surrounding Ati’s transmigration. For instance, (SPOILERS!) why did her third uncle send her that souvenir for no reason whatsoever? If she dies in this dynasty, she'd probably return back to her surreal future where her biological family is awaiting for her but what would become of Pei Yan then? Her friend Qing Qi said that she'd return back to the future but she's still there at the end of the book and we aren't told why. Honestly, I wasn't satisfied with Queen Mother's story since it felt like a huge chunk of the happenings was omitted. (END OF SPOILERS!)
If you don't tend to over-think like me, then you can start binging on this without any worries. Recommended if you wanna be drenched in fluffy content.
This is one of the first webnovels I've read. Super cute and fluffy with smart characters and great moments. Waiting for future translations anxiously!!
