Synopsis
Archaeologist Shen Tan wakes in the body of a disgraced consort condemned to die in the cold palace, armed with the Clay-and-Fire Origin Sight. With an appraiser's eye she uncovers the secret imperial kiln buried beneath the cold palace, restores lost ritual vessels, and turns a ruined kiln yard into the court's kiln administration - exposing forged porcelain, setting state standards, judging kiln cases. It is not selling pots for riches that carries her out of the cold palace, but statecraft in clay and fire, all the way to mother of the nation.
现代考古陶瓷专家沈檀，穿越成被赐死的冷宫弃妃，觉醒。她凭一双鉴古之眼勘破冷宫之下的皇家秘窑，从复原失传的宗器礼器起步，把废窑做成朝廷窑政：查赝瓷、定国器、审窑案。她靠的不是烧卖瓷器发家，而是以国器与匠道走进朝堂，在帝王猜忌与世家倾轧之间一步步走出冷宫，成为权倾天下的新朝国母。
Chapter 1: Awakening the Clay-and-Fire Origin
The wind in the Cold Palace carried a rotting, moldy stench, like wet cotton stuffing stuck to her nose and mouth. Every breath pulled a chill straight through her lungs. Shen Tan opened her eyes. Above her, the ornate ceiling was cracked and peeling. The gilded coiled dragons that once blazed with glory were now just layers of flaking gray crust, resembling the ribs of some massive, dead skeleton.
Water dripped from the beams, splattering onto the blue bricks below with a dull thud. Once. Twice. It hammered against her nerves like a countdown.
Her body was so cold it had gone rigid, curled up in the corner. The thin, old robe on her back had long stopped blocking the wind. Her consciousness, however, was terrifyingly clear, tinged with a sense of detachment that didn't belong to this world. As a former expert in archaeological ceramics, facing this unknown survival environment, her instincts kicked in to observe every detail around her.
Her fingertip casually brushed against a loose brick under her feet. The rough grit pressed into her skin, and immediately, that strange, exotic warmth drilled through her finger into her brain.
It wasn't an illusion, nor some mystical divine power. It was data.
