The Imperial Kitchen's Little Chef (Food)

Wen Yu, a food content creator, accidentally transmigrates into the palace, where she becomes an utterly ordinary little cook in the imperial kitchen.

Everyone says the imperial kitchen’s delicacies are exquisite, but after transmigrating, she discovers they’re nowhere near as tasty as modern food.

Fried egg luosifen, spicy blood curd stew, garlic crayfish, West Lake vinegar fish, spicy rabbit heads... One unheard-of dish after another makes its debut.

The consorts, used to the finest delicacies, aren’t interested in the imperial kitchen’s dishes at all, until the new little cook serves up her latest creations.

Whether it’s the picky Consort Shu, the anorexic Consort Xian, or the Consort De who can barely stomach her food... they all light up after taking a bite.

“Which imperial chef made this? It’s absolutely delicious!”

From then on, Wen Yu became a “favorite” in the imperial harem, with the consorts all vying to invite her over.

The palace power struggles turned into culinary battles. Winning the emperor’s favor was now less important than getting to eat food made by Chef Wen.

To keep the harem peaceful, Wen Yu waved a hand and said, “Hey, why don’t we all have hotpot together!”

The consorts gathered around the table, eating from a nine-section hotpot and drinking soda, trading jabs and bickering. The harem was livelier than ever.

Emperor: Those women are fighting over me again. They’re chattering away and never give me a moment’s peace.

The chief eunuch, just back from gathering intelligence: The consorts are fighting over Chef Wen’s food. They’re... they’re not fighting over you.

Emperor: ...Insolence.

Wen Yu: “Admiring beautiful women and making delicious food every day? Nothing could be better!”

Premise: Good food makes people cheerful and full of energy.
