The Chubby, Clumsy Palace Maid Is Spoiled into an Empress by the Cold-Faced Emperor

[Both leads are devoted only to each other + exclusive devotion + airheaded beauty + sweet romance + lighthearted]

[Quirky, food-loving, plump beauty x emperor with an eating disorder]

In a world where thinness is considered beautiful,

Yun Zhu'er’s greatest wish in life is simply to eat her fill.

Five bowls in one sitting, to be exact.

Her parents think she eats too much, and the family is too poor to keep feeding her, so they send her to the palace. “Zhu'er, the palace has plenty of food. Just stay alive, and you can leave when you’re twenty-five.”

Zhu'er nods and heads off with a few steamed buns tucked away.

On her first day in the palace, she eats five bowls of rice in one meal, leaving the imperial kitchen staff stunned.

On her second day, the aroma of her pot of braised pork spreads for miles, making the emperor, who hasn’t eaten in three years, cry with hunger.

The emperor summons her. “From now on, you’ll eat in front of me.”

Zhu'er: “Will I get as much as I want?”

The emperor: “Yes.”

Zhu'er: “All right.”

And so, as she eats, she becomes a Noble Lady.

As she eats, she becomes a Concubine.

As she eats, she becomes a Consort.

In the end, somehow, she becomes empress.

Zhu'er holds her bowl of rice, looking utterly bewildered. “I was just eating. How did I end up uniting the whole harem?”

Content warning: a silly, lighthearted sweet treat, just for fun, so don’t scrutinize it too much.
