Feeding the Soldiers on the Battlefield

Food blogger Shu Tong wakes up inside a household-intrigue novel, as a disposable pawn planted beside the heroine by the vicious supporting female character.

At this point, the supporting character has ordered her to poison the heroine. According to the original plot, just as the food is served, the heroine's brother catches her poisoning it. Before she can expose the vicious supporting character, she is shot dead by an assassin.

But the food has already been placed in front of the heroine.

Shu Tong: A deadly scene from the start. Could anything be more exciting?

After narrowly escaping death, Shu Tong wants nothing to do with the household intrigue between the heroine and the vicious supporting character. She resolutely follows the heroine's brother off to war, leaving Chang'an behind to become a quiet little army cook.

But not long after she arrives at camp, the army runs into trouble. Locusts are everywhere in the village where they have made camp, and the crops have all failed. Without food, how can they fight?

The general and his soldiers sigh in despair, but Shu Tong's eyes light up.

Locusts? High in protein! Do you like them fried or roasted?

Those red creatures with pincers overrunning the place? Aren't those crayfish? Do you want them with garlic or spicy?

Toads everywhere, so disgusting to look at? No, no, they're frogs! Today, I'll make you a pot of frog stew with perilla!

Tired of meat? No problem! I'll make you a cold vegetable dish! How about some cold houttuynia?

Thanks to the little cook's endless supply of food, the soldiers eat their fill and get a balanced diet. They fight bravely and win every battle! Before long, they become a cavalry force feared by everyone in the enemy kingdom.

When they return to the capital in triumph, everyone praises them: “You must be so formidable because your great general is brave and clever, and leads you to victory!”

The soldiers all shake their heads. “No, the one who deserves the most credit is our little cook. Without her, we might have starved to death long ago!”

Everyone: “Where's the little cook?”

The soldiers smile mysteriously. “Where else? At the general's manor!”

No! To be precise, she's in the general's bed.

This is a story about a heroine who becomes a cook while the army is at war. (There will be blood and tears, as well as family, friendship, and romance.)
