Your Majesty, Would You Like Some More?

Author's note: The novel is complete. My next book will be My Uncle's Precious Darling. Thanks for reading~ The Imperial Kitchen has a rule: imperial chefs may pass their profession down through the family, from father to son, never to daughters. The Zong family had relied on their ancestral skill of making mung bean rolls to get into the Imperial Kitchen, where they'd worked for decades. By Zong Ni's generation, she was the only child left in the family. As luck would have it, His Majesty loved mung bean rolls. So Zong Ni replaced her two little buns with a sleek, long braid and nervously entered the palace to serve him. Zong Ni figured the emperor would eventually tire of eating mung bean rolls three times a day. She counted the days on her fingers, hoping that when His Majesty got sick of them, he'd send her away. But His Majesty never tired of them. Gradually, even the way he looked at her began to change. Coming soon: My Uncle's Precious Darling. Visit my author page to add it to your reading list: The old emperor was obsessed with alchemy and the pursuit of immortality, and demanded that beautiful women from every corner of the realm be sent to him to provide their tears. His adopted daughter, Shuang Shi, was sent to the palace by the Feng family. She was beaten to death because her crying wasn't pleasing to the eye. What she didn't know was that the uncle who always looked at her coldly and thought her spoiled and prone to tears donned the armor of the Protector General, stormed the palace, and killed the emperor, becoming a tyrant feared by all. Yet he often sat alone in her former chambers for an entire day, murmuring endless words of tenderness. After being reborn, Shuang Shi was sent to the palace again. This time, she secretly sabotaged the old emperor's alchemy furnace. She went so far overboard with her ghostly act that she scared the old emperor to death. Feng Yu charged into the palace with a saber. Shuang Shi was so frightened she burst into tears. "Uncle, please hear me out. I didn't do it." Feng Yu couldn't help reaching out to wipe her tears. Frowning coldly, he said, "It's only an emperor's death. Is that really worth crying over?" ** Later, after Feng Yu became emperor, he declared, "Whoever dares make the empress cry will pay with their life." In the middle of the night, Shuang Shi clutched the blanket around herself, tears glistening in her coy eyes. "Y-you, you should go kill yourself!" Reading guide: 1. The male lead is the emperor, so don't ship her with the wrong person. The emperor doesn't like her much at first, but he'll improve later. This really is a sweet romance. 2. This is a fictional setting. The government, cuisine, and culture are loosely based on the Ming and Qing dynasties, with some original details. (The emperor wears a crown, not a queue. The heroine is Han Chinese and wears a braided hairstyle when she first enters the palace. The author is going bald from writing, so everyone in the story has a thick head of hair, hehe.) The wild game mentioned in the story is based on historical references. Let's all refuse to eat wild animals, starting with me. Anyone who eats them can go XXX (omitting ten thousand curses). 3. My writing skills are limited. I hope you'll give me a chance. If you like it, please bookmark it. Thank you~ 4. New chapters daily at 9 p.m. I'll post a notice in the description if anything comes up~ 5. Weibo: The Leader of the Don't-Wanna-Write Cult Theme:
