The Royal Chef: One Cleaver Subdues the Whole Prairie

Alternate ancient setting: transmigrate + food + strong heroine + face-slapping + political intrigue + sweet romance + System + wish fulfillment

In her previous life, she was a top chef at state banquets. In a single day, she transmigrates into the daughter of the last imperial chef of the previous dynasty.

Her father is framed for poisoning the late emperor, her entire family is exiled, and she is forced into a marriage delegation bound for the barbarian lands.

The barbarian prince slams a knife down in front of her, his face cold. “Three days. If you can't make a dish that satisfies me, you'll be buried with me.”

Shen Zhiwei smiles.

She casually opens the labyrinth of memories in her mind, and long-lost imperial recipes appear one after another.

A bowl of Snow Dew Soup makes a barbarian general weep and fall to his knees in public.

A feast of imperial dishes has the leaders of the grassland tribes scrambling to welcome her as an honored guest.

With a single kitchen knife, she can come up with a hundred ways to make someone wish they were dead.

The barbarian prince's gaze shifts from icy to burning. “Your cooking is the only taste I'll ever need in this life.”

Shen Zhiwei wipes the flour from her hands. “Your Highness, this is only the first dish.”

As for the final dish...

It can bring an entire dynasty to its knees.
