I Became Everyone's Favorite Through Food

[My new story, Qing Dynasty: Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin (Transmigrated into a Book), is now open for follows!]

When food editor Gu Baoying transmigrated as an imperial relative, she hadn't even had time to celebrate before she realized... her powerful family had fallen.

She planned to enter the palace as a candidate in the imperial consort selection and restore her family's fortunes, but instead she was bestowed upon Yuwen Chi, the court's "Little King of Hell."

The emperor had good intentions. He hoped that Gu Baoying, his great-aunt by seniority, would keep Yuwen Chi in line and help him find the right path in life.

Gu Baoying: Sorry, I'm out. I'd rather stay as far away as possible. Eating and drinking in the prince's residence is a pretty good life, too.

Because of the young great-aunt from the Gu family, Yuwen Chi became a laughingstock in the capital. He was seething until he tried the food she'd cooked one day... Mm, after that, everything changed.

Years later, when Gu Baoying heard someone say again, "To win a man's heart, first win his stomach," she felt she had something to add: Some men's hearts and stomachs don't need winning. They come running over all by themselves.

Everyone who eats my cooking falls in love with me!! That's the magic of good food!!

Upcoming story blurb: Qing Dynasty: Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin (Transmigrated into a Book)

In her previous life, everyone said Ruomin was lucky. Three years after Empress Yuan died, the emperor made her empress, giving her unmatched glory.

But only Ruomin knew that the emperor thought of Empress Yuan constantly. She was merely a pawn he used to balance the court and the imperial harem.

She managed the harem, served her elders... No matter how well Ruomin did, she knew she would never find a place in the emperor's heart.

In the end, she was murdered.

Only after her death did Ruomin learn she had transmigrated into a novel. She swore that if she ever got another life, she would stay as far away from the emperor as possible.

But when she opened her eyes, Ruomin had become Zhangjia Chujin, a palace maid in the Forbidden City.

Chujin: Can I swear?

Seeing people who had once been so proper acting insolently in front of her, even trying to kill her, Chujin thought: I really can't take this anymore. I want to swear so badly!

One day,

The emperor passed through the imperial garden and saw Chujin singing a little tune. She reminded him of that woman from years ago, and he was momentarily dazed.

That night, the emperor summoned her. From then on, Chujin became the most favored woman in the harem.

Only then did Chujin realize that she was the emperor's old flame and his new love, and that they would stay together year after year.

Xuan Ye thought she would always be there, helping him dress every day, grinding his ink, talking with him... even remembering Empress Yuan together.

But one day, she was gone. Xuan Ye panicked, and only then understood that she had always been the one he loved!

One day, Xuan Ye saw her reflected in someone else's face.

Even if this woman was only a substitute, even if he knew she didn't love him, Xuan Ye was still content.
