Grandson of the Tang Emperor: I Ascended the Throne Through Food

Li Ye became Wu Zetian’s grandson and had hoped to work hard and become emperor.

Instead, he was bound to a Gourmet System, while his predecessor, a wastrel, had already ruined his reputation.

Li Ye could only sigh at the heavens, collect himself, and become a lie-flat imperial grandson who enjoyed his wealth.

With the Gourmet System, he cooked delicious food every day and fed himself.

In his spare time, he grew vegetables, tended flowers, read, played chess, and drank tea. Life was peaceful and carefree.

But then, everything took an unexpected turn.

Word spread that Li Ye was a great cook, attracting a crowd of food lovers, all of them big shots.

Princess Taiping: “Little Nephew, those cream puffs were so delicious. Make some more for Auntie... pretty please.”

Chubby Di Renjie: “Li Ye, do you think I’d have agreed to let my daughter marry you if it weren’t for that pot of Dongpo pork? Please... make me another plate.”

Grandmother Wu Zetian: “A bowl of millet porridge every morning, with soup dumplings made by my grandson himself. It’s more comfortable than being emperor.”

Stir-frying, tossing the wok, plating the food: every step warmed up life.
