The General's Little Chef

[Please add my upcoming novel "Debt Wife" to your collection!]

-----Blurb-----

Mu Xinyi started out selling food at a roadside stall at the age of seventeen.

Ten years later, she had achieved financial freedom and never had to worry about food or clothing.

She loved counting money more than anything. One night, while counting the day's earnings after closing up, she tripped, hit her head on the coffee table, and died.

Then she was struck by lightning.

Her soul transmigrated into the body of a young widow in ancient times who was about to be drowned in a pond.

Mu Xinyi fought to save herself, and eventually set her sights on Shen Yan, the General of the South.

When word spread that Shen Yan had returned to the village as a great general, some villagers in Stone Village wanted to marry their daughters off to him, but he rejected them all.

Later, they heard he'd even dared to turn down the daughter of the prime minister, so they didn't stand a chance!

Yet the general, who showed no interest in women, kept the widow Mu Xinyi by his side and protected her at every turn...

When Mu Xinyi was framed a second time and bound hand and foot to be shoved into a bridal sedan, Shen Yan rushed back from the battlefield in his armor. At the critical moment, he shielded her in his arms and confronted the whole village. "She's my woman! Anyone who dares touch her, just try it!"

A little minx who can cook and loves to cling to people & an outwardly cold but inwardly honest general

Content warnings

1. The setting is fictional. Don't overanalyze or take it too seriously.

2. The female lead's values are her own. Please don't attack her for them.

3. The food in the story is mostly home-style cooking, nothing too fancy.

4. Both leads are sexually inexperienced. Happy ending.

After transmigrating into the prime minister's granddaughter, Shen Chaoyun had no time to enjoy the luxurious life of the prime minister's residence before she became a prisoner.

The prime minister had committed a crime, and the entire family was implicated. The Sixth Prince saved their lives on the condition that he could take her as collateral.

That night, a small sedan carried her into the prince's residence through a side gate.

Shen Chaoyun: ???

Could her luck get any worse?

Gu Ye held a debt contract in his hand, his cold eyes full of menace. "If you die or run away, you'd better think about your family. Their lives are in your hands!"

Shen Chaoyun: ...

She wasn't even as well-off as a concubine. Did she really have to fight with the prince's concubines?

She didn't want to!

Prince Xuan, Gu Ye, was the dream man of countless young women in the capital, as well as its most notorious playboy.

Rumor had it that he'd flirted with every noblewoman in the capital who had even a little beauty. As for the women who served him in his chambers, that went without saying. He didn't even spare the lowly maids.

Just imagine how depraved he was!

As the late emperor's most beloved son, Gu Ye had died of an illness before fulfilling his father's wish. When he woke again, he had returned to the day he saved Prime Minister Shen.

At least everything was still in time.

But as he looked at Shen Chaoyun, who was cowering nervously in the room, he frowned, looking thoroughly impatient.

Later, everyone in the prince's residence, even the servants, knew that after Prince Xuan fulfilled the late emperor's dying wish, he spent every day chasing after a certain someone, begging her to become his princess consort.

Scene 1:

The prince looked at the flowers blossoming in competition and vegetables growing in abundance in the rear courtyard. Even the artificial hills and pavilions seemed especially unusual. With mixed feelings, he said to the person lounging in the pavilion and petting a cat, "Are you satisfied, my lady? Is there anything you're missing?"

The contented princess's eyes lit up. "I... I still want to raise a few chickens!"

The prince: ...

He waved a hand grandly. "Buy them!"

Scene 2:

The prince held a jade pendant and said earnestly, "This is for you, my lady. Keep it as a family heirloom and pass it down to our children. It'll make them richer than kings!"

The princess gave a derisive snort and didn't even look at him. "Who wants to have children with you?"

Scene 3:

The prince waved a hand grandly. "You can order every woman in the residence around as you please, my lady."

The princess: "Can I make them go plant rice in the fields?"

The prince: "Whatever makes you happy, my lady!"
