The Prince's Beloved Chef

Yang Jiu transmigrated on her way home from the supermarket and found herself in the body of a male concubine sent by a foolish emperor to humiliate Prince Ning.

She felt around up top. Nothing missing. She felt around down below. Nothing extra. She was still herself.

Facing Prince Ning, whose expression was as dark as water, and his angry soldiers,

Yang Jiu stood bolt upright, looking as imposing as a rainbow, and then immediately chickened out.

Clutching the shopping bag she'd brought with her, she said nervously, "I'm useful. I can cook."

The bitterly cold frontier had no room for idlers. If Yang Jiu wanted to survive, she had to put her skills to use. But the prince and his generals weren't interested in delicacies like Shanhai Soup, Jade Belt Soup, Great Endurance Cake, or Seven-Treasure Vegetarian Porridge. They wanted filling, plain food.

An impatient soldier asked, "What can you make?"

Yang Jiu: "Beef stew with potatoes. Potatoes are drought-resistant, water-efficient, high-yield crops with..."

The indifferent Prince Ning glanced over.

The soldier pressed her: "What else can you make?"

Yang Jiu looked into her shopping bag. "Pork ribs with corn. Corn is resistant to cold and drought, adapts easily, and can be used for both people and livestock..."

At some point, Prince Ning had moved closer.

The soldier's eyes lit up. "What else are you planning to make?"

Yang Jiu glanced at Prince Ning and lowered her head. "Cold medicine. Good medicine tastes bitter but helps the illness."

Prince Ning frowned. He tried to leave, but couldn't, so he had to down the bitter medicine in one gulp.

The generals were stunned. From then on, word spread that the prince was henpecked. The medicine he hated so much that he wouldn't touch it, he'd actually drunk of his own accord! The rumor swept from the army throughout the entire frontier, and everyone knew the God of War, Prince Ning, had a beloved consort he cherished more than life itself.

"Wait, wasn't it a male concubine?"

The generals scoffed. "The lady's skin is so delicate, it's obvious she's a woman. She's the only one who thinks she's hiding it well. Thanks to that damned emperor for sending a match all this way!"

A story about growing vegetables, cooking, and building up the frontier from scratch.

Yang Jiu: "What's our goal?"

The army cooks: "Make soup, cook dishes, and reclaim the land!"

Yang Jiu: "What's our goal, really?"

The army cooks: "Fight battles, throw punches, and make a fortune!"

Yang Jiu: "Grab your weapons!"

The army cooks: "Awoooo!"

In the Northern Territories, there's a remarkable army that usually stays out of sight, but in wartime appears and disappears like ghosts, winning one extraordinary victory after another!

Spies made every effort to investigate, but all they learned was that Prince Ning was henpecked... unbelievable.
