[Fleeing famine + food-delivery box + food and infrastructure + power struggles over the throne + sweet romance]
In the fourteenth year of the Hongwu era, a severe drought grips the north, and corpses litter the land.
Lin Xiaogu, a top agricultural university graduate, has barely transmigrated when she finds herself in a desperate situation: she and her seven-year-old brother are about to starve to death in the wilderness.
At the critical moment, she awakens a “modern food-delivery box” that refreshes with twelve random items every day!
About to starve? A bucket of steaming hot instant noodles saves the family. Bandits block the road? A self-heating hot pot, passed off as “immortal magic,” scares them all away.
She had planned to keep a low profile and scrape by with the delivery box as they fled the famine. But one late-night bowl of foul-smelling river-snail rice noodles draws the attention of the scheming fourth prince, who is traveling incognito to inspect the disaster!
To protect her secret and her life, Lin Xiaogu is forced down the path of relentlessly feeding the entire court with takeout.
Fried chicken cutlets win over the cold-faced top assassin, pearl milk tea helps her befriend the daughters of powerful families, and even the suspicious Hongwu Emperor is dazzled by her “improved exotic dishes.”
From a peasant girl fleeing famine to the Great Ming's chief logistics manager, she uses her delivery box and agricultural knowledge to establish a new grain policy that feeds the whole realm!
But why is the cold-faced prince, who originally just came around for free meals, looking at her more and more strangely?
“I've filled the bellies of everyone under heaven. Tonight, I want something sweet.”
