Thanks to Cuihua's efforts as the AI-powered braised duck neck chef, the Wuhan duck neck shop became increasingly popular. Customers even lined up in advance to try his signature duck neck. However, one night, a mysterious spatial rift appeared in the backstreets and alleys near the duck neck shop, arousing Cuihua's curiosity.

That evening, Cuihua finished tidying up the shop and was preparing to go home to rest. Suddenly, she saw a strange light flash in the alleyway in front of the shop. Curious, she walked over and discovered that the light was actually a mysterious spatial rift.

Cuihua had never seen such a strange sight before, and her curiosity was piqued. She decided to approach the spacetime rift to see what was inside. However, as she got closer, a powerful suction force pulled her inside.

Cuihua felt a wave of dizziness. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a strange world. The architecture here was simple and elegant, and the streets were lined with various stalls selling all kinds of food. Cuihua smelled a delicious aroma and followed it to a duck neck stall.

This duck neck stall was doing very well, with a constant stream of customers. Watching the stall owner skillfully braise the duck necks until they were a tempting golden brown, Cuihua couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is the world that has such delicious duck necks!"

Cuihua couldn't resist going up to the stall owner and asking how to make duck necks. Seeing Cuihua's enthusiasm, the stall owner generously shared his exclusive recipe for braised duck necks. Cuihua learned diligently and soon mastered the skill.

Just then, Cuihua suddenly remembered that she was still in that mysterious space-time rift. She said goodbye to the stall owner and retraced her steps to find the rift. However, the streets of this world seemed endless, and Cuihua couldn't find her way back.

Just as Cuihua was in a state of extreme anxiety, she encountered a mysterious old man. The old man told her that in order to return to her own world, she must find a magical duck-neck stone. This stone was hidden in some corner of this world, and it could only be found by passing a series of trials.

Cuihua decides to accept the challenge and search for the magical duck-neck stone. Guided by the old man, she arrives at a huge maze. This maze is filled with various traps and puzzles, and Cuihua needs to use her wisdom and courage to successfully navigate it.

After much hard work, Cuihua finally passed the maze's test and found the magical duck-neck stone. She held the stone in her palm, silently praying to return to her own world.

Just then, a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Cuihua. When the light dissipated, Cuihua found herself back beside the mysterious spatial rift. She gripped the duck-neck stone tightly, her heart filled with gratitude and anticipation.

Cuihua returned to the real world with the duck-neck stone. She placed the magical stone in the kitchen of her duck-neck shop and used it to braise duck necks every day. From then on, Cuihua's duck necks became even more delicious, and her business flourished.

That magical duck-neck stone became a legendary story of Cuihua's duck neck shop, passed down through generations. And that mysterious rift in time and space remained a secret forever in Cuihua's heart.

Cuihua's duck neck shop was thriving, and her reputation was growing. One day, a mysterious guest came to the duck neck shop, claiming to be a time traveler from the future.

The time traveler told Cuihua that he saw her duck neck shop in the future, where the duck necks were incredibly delicious, attracting countless people. However, as time passed, Cuihua's duck neck shop gradually disappeared into the long river of history.

Cuihua was shocked to hear this; she couldn't believe her duck neck shop had vanished without a trace. So, she decided to ask the time traveler how she could make her duck neck shop last forever.

The time traveler tells Cuihua that to ensure the duck neck shop's eternal existence, they must find a magical ingredient called "Time Reversal." This ingredient grows on a distant planet and can only be harvested at specific times.

Cuihua decides to embark on a journey to find a way back in time. Guided by a time traveler, she arrives at a place called "Time Planet." Time here is completely different from Earth's; one day here is equivalent to one year on Earth.

On the planet Time, Cuihua endured countless hardships and finally found the magical ingredient—the Time-Reversal Fruit. This fruit is golden yellow and emits an enticing aroma. It is said that eating it can turn back time and return one to the beautiful past.

Cuihua returned to Earth with the Time-Reversal Fruit. She ground the fruit into powder and added it to the braising sauce for her duck necks. From then on, Cuihua's duck necks became even more delicious, and a bite seemed to transport one back to the wonderful times of the past.

The mysterious time traveler also became Cuihua's friend. He often came to the duck neck shop to enjoy the delicious duck necks and shared interesting stories about the future with Cuihua. With their help, Cuihua's duck neck shop became a legendary establishment.

As time went by, Cuihua's duck neck shop became famous, attracting countless people from different times and places. One day, a woman from ancient times came to the duck neck shop.

The woman's name was Xiaoyue, and she lived in a distant ancient dynasty. She had heard that Cuihua's duck necks were incredibly delicious, so she decided to come and try them for herself. However, when she tasted Cuihua's duck necks, she was deeply captivated by their deliciousness.

Xiaoyue told Cuihua that there was a legend in her dynasty: as long as one could find a magical ingredient called "Tears of Time," one could fulfill the wish of traveling through time. She hoped that Cuihua could help her find this ingredient so that she could return to her own era.

Touched by Xiaoyue's story, Cuihua decided to help her find the Tears of Time. By chance, Cuihua finally found this magical ingredient—a crystal grass that grows in extremely cold places.

Cuihua gave the Tear of Time to Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue was deeply grateful. She told Cuihua that she would cherish this friendship that transcended time and space and would never forget Cuihua's help. After saying this, Xiaoyue turned into a ray of light and disappeared into thin air.

From then on, whenever the night was still and quiet, Cuihua would always see that shimmering, crystalline tear of time. She knew that it was Xiaoyue's trace left in this world, and also a symbol of their friendship that transcended time and space.

That evening, the street in front of the Wuhan duck neck shop was unusually lively, filled with laughter and shouts of vendors. Cuihua stood in front of the shop window, watching the busy chefs inside, and smiled contentedly. Her year-long dedication to building the duck neck shop had finally paid off; customers were lining up to try the shop's signature duck neck. Cuihua was deeply moved and proud of her perseverance.

Just then, a spatial rift, shimmering with an eerie light, suddenly appeared in the back alley near the duck neck shop. A blurry figure struggled to emerge from the rift. Intrigued, Cuihua put down her spoon and headed straight for the back alley.

The world in the alley seemed completely different from the bustling streets, quiet and mysterious. Cuihua looked around and found herself in a familiar yet strange scene. The houses on both sides of the alley had an odd architectural style, lacking a modern feel and instead resembling ancient buildings.

Cuihua approached the spatial rift and gently touched its edge with her finger, but was sucked in by a powerful suction force. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in another time and space.

Cuihua wiped the sweat from her brow, frowned, and looked around. She found herself in an ancient, dreamlike world. The surrounding buildings were magnificent palaces, with red lanterns hanging from the painted eaves. Cuihua was mesmerized, her curiosity rekindled.

Just as she was looking around, a young man dressed in fine clothes approached her with a gentle smile on his face. He bowed slightly to Cuihua and said, "Miss, where do you come from? What brings you here?"

Cuihua became wary; her upbringing taught her that any stranger could be a threat. However, she then thought of the rift and naturally replied, "I came from a mysterious spatial rift. Where is this place?"

The young man explained with a smile, "This is the Forbidden City during the Qianlong era. We are currently at our peak, as the emperor is holding a magnificent banquet."

Upon hearing this, Cuihua was visibly excited. She had never imagined that she had traveled back in time to the Forbidden City during the Qing Dynasty; it was a truly wondrous experience. She decided to temporarily set aside her doubts about her identity and fully immerse herself in this era.

The young man led Cuihua into the Forbidden City. She was awestruck by the magnificent palaces and grand architecture. She couldn't help but wonder if this was all a strange dream.

Seeing this, the young man smiled and said, "Young lady, you can rest assured that this is not a dream, but a magical time travel that will allow you to experience this history firsthand."

Cuihua became even more excited upon hearing this. She decided to explore this time and space to her heart's content and see the real Forbidden City.

As time went by, Cuihua gradually became integrated into this era. She experienced the emperor's grand banquets, witnessed the power struggles in the court, and felt the prosperity and splendor of the Qianlong era.

However, just as Cuihua was reveling in this era, she accidentally discovered something amiss. The Forbidden City harbored a dark side, concealing some astonishing secrets.

Cuihua comes from a humble background, but her curiosity makes her unwilling to remain in the superficial glamour and illusion. She decides to continue to delve deeper into these dark conspiracies and reveal the truth behind them.

Cuihua secretly begins her investigation, discovering unusual behavior among some high-ranking officials in the palace. At the same time, she unexpectedly meets a shadowy figure who is extremely knowledgeable about the dark affairs of the palace.

This man told Cuihua that some illegal forces within the Forbidden City were secretly manipulating the emperor and the harem, threatening the stability of the royal family and the safety of the people. Cuihua decided to cooperate with this man to uncover this series of dark secrets.

After much trouble, Cuihua and her partner uncover a conspiracy known as "The Night of the Jade Emperor." The aim of this conspiracy is to overthrow the emperor and establish a new dynasty.

Cuihua decides to gather enough evidence to report this conspiracy to the emperor and stop it. She faces enormous risks and trials, but she is determined to protect the peace of the Forbidden City and the lives of the people.

Cuihua and her partner ventured into the conspirators' secret hideout. There, they discovered a wealth of evidence that revealed the truth behind the entire conspiracy.

They discovered that behind this "Night of the Jade Emperor" conspiracy was a group of marginalized court nobles and merchants who conspired together. They exploited the emperor's greed and corruption in an attempt to seize the throne and control the country.

Cuihua and her partners realized they had to present the evidence to the emperor as soon as possible to stop the conspiracy. They decided to hide the evidence in an anonymous letter and deliver it to the emperor through an inside contact.

Through numerous trials, Cuihua and her partners successfully delivered the anonymous letter to the emperor. The emperor was furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation, executing all those involved. Meanwhile, officials also conducted a thorough self-examination and addressed the emperor's corruption issues.

The Forbidden City returned to tranquility, and Cuihua and her partner became heroes of the Forbidden City. Their deeds were widely circulated, becoming a beautiful chapter in the long river of history.

After a fantastical time-travel journey, Cuihua finally returned to the real world. She went back to her Wuhan duck neck shop and continued her successful business.

As she recalled everything about the Forbidden City and that extraordinary journey through time, she deeply understood that her life would never be ordinary again because of this miraculous experience.

No longer content with her success with duck necks, Cuihua threw herself into a broader career. She began writing about her experiences, becoming a bestselling novelist and immersing readers in her time-travel stories.

Amidst the enticing aroma of popular duck necks, Cuihua's story continues, offering readers a wondrous time-travel experience. She will continue to explore different times and spaces, creating more imaginative tales and leading readers on an endless journey of miracles.
