Add it to your reading list now! Pei Xiuzhu, the second daughter of Chancellor Pei, was just as her name suggested: from childhood, her skin was smooth as jade and her figure plump and well-rounded. Unfortunately, she had a capable elder sister and a seductive younger half-sister. Her parents ignored her as she grew up, and she devoted herself to food and drink instead. Then one day, an imperial decree arrived, making the handsome, cold-tempered Prince Su, Xiao Jingyao, her betrothed. Envy and jealousy erupted. Some people said cruelly that the beautiful Prince Su was like a delicate flower stuck in a lump of "fat." The second Miss Pei was deeply hurt and gritted her teeth, determined to lose weight. Who knew she would overdo it and faint from hunger? Her soul traveled to the modern world, where she sampled all kinds of delicious food. Just before her younger half-sister could take her place in the wedding, she woke up. Her half-sister and stepmother were furious. Even more maddening, after lying in bed for three months, she really had starved herself into a slender waist and become an absolutely breathtaking beauty. ~~ Prince Su had always known his future wife was a chubby girl. He married her only as a matter of expedience, and after the wedding, he did not set foot in her room for half a month. Until one day, strange aromas began wafting through his back courtyard. Sometimes they were rich and enticing, sometimes light and savory, stirring up everyone's appetites and making their mouths water. They even kept people awake at night. Unable to bear it any longer, he finally went into the back courtyard. Beneath the moonlight, he saw a graceful beauty carefully turning skewers of meat over a charcoal fire and earnestly sprinkling them with all sorts of seasonings. Prince Su: "...Who are you?" Pei Xiuzhu: "...Your princess consort." Prince Su: "What are you doing?" Pei Xiuzhu: "I'm hungry, so I'm grilling some meat. Would you like a skewer, Your Highness?" Prince Su: "..." Tsk. She'd been neglected for so long, yet she still had such an appetite? After tasting a bite with mixed feelings, Xiao Jingyao fell into deep thought. Was what he'd eaten before really food fit for human consumption? ~~ Before long, the servants of Prince Su's residence noticed that their prince had changed. He used to eat anything, but now he would only eat dishes made by the princess consort. He used to be a man of restraint, but now he couldn't sleep without her. Everyone secretly wondered, "Your Highness, does your face hurt?" Prince Su: "What's a face? Can you eat it?" Theme:
