Shen Yanqiu is the most doted-on youngest son of the Shen family in the modern cultivation world. While other cultivators devote themselves to mastering their techniques, he specializes in the Way of Cuisine, using his spirit ladle to stir-fry delicacies from the mountains. The warmth of a kitchen fire is more familiar to him than the aura of a sword.
One day, as he hides beneath a corridor and watches his older siblings practice swordsmanship, a stray sword aura grazes past him. As pain surges through him, his last thought is that he should make a pot of snow lotus and black-bone chicken soup for dinner. When he opens his eyes again, carved lattice windows have become cold alloy walls, and the fragrance of spirit rice has been replaced by the metallic tang of the stars.
Even stranger, he has become a rare S-class male insect in the insectoid interstellar age. His pheromones are gentle, yet carry an undeniable air of authority.
And he is Karen Vox, the bloodstained, silver-armored Imperial general.
The entire galaxy knows that this general, renowned for his iron-fisted rule, has an almost instinctive aversion to male insects.
With his heat approaching, his family forces him into an arranged marriage to consolidate their power, making him wary of the very word “male insect.”
One is a young master from the modern cultivation world who practices the Way of Cuisine. The other is an interstellar general who has fought through countless battles. When the gentle fragrance of spirit food meets the hard shell of a mecha, their encounter across time and space is destined to stir up waves unlike any other in a galaxy teeming with spirit beasts.
