Synopsis

Modern-day Huang Ye transmigrates into the ancient Great Xia Dynasty as the pampered darling of the Minister's household, where a daughter is born only once every ten generations.

To repay her loving family, she starts learning martial arts at a nunnery while still a little girl.

She wants to master everything: inner strength, hand-to-hand combat, swordsmanship, medicine, and poisons. Only by learning real skills can she better protect her family.

At last, she grows up, only to be told she must enter the imperial palace. Looking at the large family who loves and dotes on her, she steels herself. So be it, she'll go.

They say the imperial harem is a place that devours people, but Huang Ye keeps herself busy after entering the palace.

She's busy spreading the culture of fine food.

Her First Restaurant Under Heaven becomes famous throughout the capital.

Her food street spreads to every city in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Emperor: This concubine of mine has been scheming since she was little, and she even dares to give me a nickname. She's no good.

The Retired Emperor: I owe my three meals a day to that Huang girl. She's the reason I'm still alive.

Several princes: We have to stay on good terms with our sister-in-law, or we'll starve to death.

The food-loving officials: We couldn't be happier with Her Majesty the Empress.

Huang Ye: The harem is a tough place to survive, and I have quite a few enemies. What can I do? If I want to stay alive, I'll have to fight for power. Who's afraid of whom?
