[Transmigration] [Sweet Romance] [Food] [One-on-One, Both Chaste]
During finals week, Jiang Shiyan, known as the "Empress of Han" at her university, dies suddenly after staying up all night studying. When she opens her eyes, she has become a low-born daughter of the Minister of Personnel, sent to the palace in place of her legitimate elder sister.
At the selection, she is stunned to discover that the cold-faced Emperor, Song Zhuonian, looks just like the Korean drama oppa she's been following lately!
While the other consorts are busy plotting against each other, she takes the harem by storm with hot pot, barbecue, board games, and novels.
Later, Song Zhuonian pins her against the wall of the Imperial Study. "I hear my beloved consort thinks my face makes her food taste better?"
Jiang Shiyan swallows and offers him a skewer. "Your Majesty, why not try this first?"
A little scene:
Song Zhuonian strides into Weiyang Palace, his face stern.
Jiang Shiyan is fuming, her back turned to him as she broods over seeing him getting all lovey-dovey with the other consorts beside the lotus pond.
"Turn around," he says coldly.
She turns, eyes lowered, struggling to stay angry. Song Zhuonian steps closer and reaches out to lift her chin.
Jiang Shiyan leans back, only to find herself face-to-face with him, so close she can see every detail. Beneath the palace lanterns, he's devastatingly handsome.
Oh no, her weakness for pretty faces is kicking in.
She hurriedly covers her eyes. "You... turn your face away!"
Song Zhuonian pauses. "Why?"
"Because when I look at your face, I can't stay angry!" she cries in defeat. "It's not fair!"
Looking at her flushed face as she tries to hold back a smile, he barely curls his lips. "So if I ever upset my beloved consort, all I have to do is let you look at me a little more?"
Jiang Shiyan: "..." The Iceberg Emperor actually knows how to flirt back?!
