Short story + transmigrate into a book as a villainess + airheaded princess beauty + win over a powerful, tragic emperor + sweet romance + happy ending
Shen Qianqian transmigrates into a book and lands in hell mode: evil princess + future tyrant with 99% hatred toward her = a guaranteed-death start!
How should she win him over? The System suggests being kind, using her charms, acting helpless…
> Shen Qianqian: Thanks, but I have my own plan. To stay alive, she unleashes her family’s secret weapon: listing dishes! (Isn’t the way to a man’s heart through his stomach?) She’s in the kitchen, and she’s just burned a cake.
So the hostage Lu Yan is forced to taste-test her creations every day:
“This charcoal… I mean, cake, is crisp on the outside and tender within?”
“The pearls in this milk tea are… nice and chewy?”
“Your Highness, would you like a piece of bitter honey cake?”
After ascending the throne, the new emperor blocks her doorway, eyes filled with danger. “The dishes in the imperial kitchen are bland… Tonight, you can have half my dragon bed, on one condition… extra-spicy hot pot!”
#How to become empress by surviving on dark cuisine#
#Others win him over with scheming, I use sweet-and-sour pork#
#I was supposed to keep a low profile, so why did he carry me off with the whole pot?#
(Fictional ancient setting, don’t take it too seriously. Romance is the focus.)
