After Reuniting with My Family, I Became the Empress Mother's Beloved Consort

In a nutshell: A "God of Cooking" empress turns the daughter who comes to claim her parentage into an imperial consort. (The mother-daughter relationship is a misunderstanding.)

*

The Empress has been in a foul mood lately. Her princess has been lost from home since childhood, with no word from her, while scheming people are impersonating royalty in hopes of climbing to the top in one easy step.

Those treacherous rebels actually think they can make a fool of her! Their entire clans deserve execution!

Heads fall one by one, but the farce isn't over.

Her new beauty cries and calls her Mother while receiving her favor, claiming to be her biological daughter.

She ignores the claim and continues to dote on her.

The beauty weeps like a flower in the rain, with a charm all her own. The Empress has been chaste and free of desire for years, but she can't resist, and favors her for days on end.

Still, to be safe, she sends out her secret guards to investigate the truth.

Just now, the secret guards sent word: Lady Lin, who has been favored for days, is the daughter of the Lin family, the precious pearl lost to the world.

The Empress has a headache. If word gets to the court, the censors will be throwing themselves against pillars to make a point again.

To reclaim her roots and return to the royal family, Mi Zhi enters the palace as a maid.

But even though her tears flow from the bedchamber all the way to the ceremony proclaiming her Empress, and her name is entered in the imperial genealogy before all the officials,

she still fails to reclaim her title as princess.

The Empress straightens her phoenix crown, brushes her earlobe suggestively, then leans close to whisper in her ear with a knowing smile.

"Sweet Mi'er, do you like this grand gift Mother has given you?"

Mi Zhi goes weak at the knees from a single touch. Last night's words of love are still vivid in her ears.

"No wonder you're the lovely daughter Lin bore me. You make me feel just as good as she does."

*

Will her future hold the convent or an early grave?

Mi Zhi rules the inner palace and enjoys countless favors, yet secretly sheds tears.

How long can a woman rely on her beauty to please someone? What's more, if their relationship is discovered, everyone will turn against them.

Just then, a woman arrives from outside the palace, claiming to be the real princess who was lost from home.

Mi Zhi can't believe it, and cries as she begs Mother to decide what to do.

The Empress holds her delicate, beautiful little empress and gently comforts her.

"Be good, Mi'er. No one can take what's yours. There, spread your legs a little. Mother will make you feel better, and then you won't be afraid."

(The Empress has a harem, but once the story begins, she dotes exclusively on Mi Zhi. She has other biological daughters, and the age gap is 19 years.)

(In this world, everyone has children through scissoring, and everyone switches roles.)
