[CLOSED] The Mooncake Rebellion

To celebrate the mid-Autumn festival, also known as Mooncake Festival in parts of Asia, WattpadMilitaryFiction, adultfiction and WattpadFestivals propose a contest that will send you in a long-forgotten time and place and through the legend of a great revolt:

🥮 The Mooncake Rebellion 🥮

Join us in this writing experience, using the following prompt, and let your imagination and your words painting another period and another World...

"As the legend goes, at the end of the Yuan dynasty, a little pastry was instrumental to the defeat and retreat of the Tartars from China.

At the end of 1368, as Chinese families reunited to celebrate the mid-autumn festivals, they exchanged pastries packed with carb and, in their center, not a salted egg yolk but a piece of paper covered in ink, a secret message: "Kill the Mongols".

It is said that the Mongols occupants didn't like mooncakes, the sweetness not fitting their taste... They probably liked even less these last mooncakes, that brought their downfall..."

You may find more information about the mooncake rebellion in the dedicated chapter in

Festivals Around the World.
