In an era when everyone across the stars relied on nutrient solutions to survive, a food streamer suddenly appeared on the Star Network.

Her name was Ming Xi. She was quite pretty, but only about the size of a thumb. Every day, she picked ingredients out of the trash and livestreamed herself cooking.

As they watched rice grains as thick as Ming Xi's fingers, tomatoes the size of basketballs, and animals dozens of times larger than her turn into delicious dishes in her hands, the people across the stars, who knew only the taste of nutrient solutions, began drooling.

Through posting food videos and livestreaming on the Star Network, Ming Xi became the goddess of the entire interstellar world in just a few months.

No one knew that the world she lived in was actually a book, and that she had originally been its wicked supporting female character.

To survive, she switched careers and became a food streamer.

One day, a remarkably handsome and ruthless man appeared in her livestream.

The man skillfully put on an apron, then coolly stir-fried tomatoes and eggs with the hands that commanded a million troops.

The whole internet was stunned. Wasn't that their emperor?!

The livestream flooded with all kinds of gifts.

Not long afterward, the most popular newspaper in the interstellar world published a heartwarming love story about the Empire's emperor and the most popular food streamer online, claiming that during their hardest days on Trash Planet, they had supported one another and never left each other's side.

"Which newspaper is this? It's complete nonsense." The emperor of the Empire angrily threw the paper to the floor.

Back on Trash Planet, he had been bullied by a certain someone every single day.

Ming Xi, with her pregnant belly, raised an eyebrow. "Nonsense? Is it?"

"Ahem, no, what they said is absolutely right." The emperor hurriedly picked up the newspaper and gently supported the beautiful pregnant woman.
