Stars That Never Fall

[Upcoming Novel: Delicious Pastry Shop]

Set in an interstellar world.

First line: The king is deposed, the imperial princess is laid off and sent into exile on a garbage planet.

Second line: She starts out scavenging, robs spaceships and steals mechs, and space pirates find new careers.

Horizontal line: It doesn't rhyme.

It's really just a story about a laid-off princess starting a new career as a space pirate.

The male lead is a cool-faced but warm-hearted, pure-hearted puppy. The female lead is elegant on the surface and a skilled actress.

Please note:

1. Everything serious in the first chapter is fake.

2. The female lead can fight, pilot mechs, repair spaceships, and pretty much anything else.

3. As it happens, so can the male lead.

[Upcoming Novel, Delicious Pastry Shop, blurb:]

Shanzhu, the Empire's Valkyrie, is seriously considering retirement.

The Zerg have retreated, the emperor has come of age, and the Valkyrie has nothing much to do. Then a letter arrives from the barren world of Jingtou, a frontier planet. Her aunt has left her a pastry shop in her will and asked her to look after the three children she adopted. The letter also comes with a System.

The System claims to have traveled here from another world. It has every lost pastry recipe and rare ingredient from Earth's era, but, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, she'll have to trade precious minerals for them.

"Basically, you just need money! Gold, silver, and jewels are all good!" the greedy System says, its eyes glittering.

However...

After accidentally smashing through the cutting board for the seventy-seventh time, Shanzhu decides that maybe she needs a tungsten-steel cutting board before she needs ingredients.

The infamous interstellar bandit: "Boss lady, pick me! I'll go steal it for you! Just sell me a radish pancake first!"

The illustrious underground arms dealer: "I'll tear off a piece of a starship's hull for you! It can withstand ten electromagnetic cannon blasts! Just throw in a muffin, please!"

Meanwhile, a certain nobleman who tried to smash up the shop is pinned to the ground by Shanzhu, who punches him and demands with every blow, "Does it taste good? I asked you, does it taste good?"

The nobleman: "It's delicious! I swear it's delicious! I already said it was delicious, so why are you still hitting me?"

Shanzhu: "You don't sound sincere."

A female lead who believes "an iron fist is justice" x a male lead who believes "being a chivalrous hero is romantic"

Please note:

1. This is primarily a goofy food story, with romance as a side plot.

2. The female lead has maxed-out combat skills, and the male lead has maxed-out intelligence, but he can occasionally turn into a lovable dummy.

Theme: Heroes never die.
