When the apocalypse broke out, Zhu Nuannuan somehow became the Zombie Queen. Her already unattractive face became completely unrecognizable, and after someone killed her in the final battle, she discovered she'd turned into a beautiful little sprout with a delicate, soft body. Fortunately, she still had her special abilities.
The little sprout couldn't get enough to eat or stay warm at home, so she decided to work as a maid for a wealthy family.

He was apparently a prince, too.

The emperor made a secret visit to the Prince Regent's residence. "Where is the regent?"

The emperor: "…"
P.S. A heroine who was an ugly Zombie Queen in her previous life, is obsessed with beauty in this one, and is especially devoted to food x A male lead who is always treated as emergency rations by the heroine, and is a fierce, deadly weapon.
