[A composed, reserved, good-natured empress x a gentle, scheming, unhinged marshal]
[Interstellar setting with a focus on food]
Empress Shi Shangxu was born in a time of chaos, but led her people in overthrowing the empire and ushered in an age of prosperity. She was a hero without question.
Those who hated her said she came from humble beginnings and was a woman who dared to become emperor.
But dust returns to dust, and once you die, the past no longer matters. On the day the poison took effect, the empress died without hesitation. The empire was in good hands, and that was enough for her. She didn't care how people judged her.
But the empress had never imagined she'd come back from the dead.
Worse, she'd become Shang Shixu, a female celebrity who made her name by cooking and cultivating a public image. The one upside was that she was now an alpha, whose body was far stronger than the beta body she'd had in her previous life, which had been as frail as a leaf in the wind.
The empress looked around. The country was at peace, and life was good. She was deeply gratified... until, after she was framed, the madman pinned her in a corner.
"If you imitate her again, I'll really kill you."
To suppress the abnormality in his body, the once gentle and reserved marshal had savagely injured himself. She stared in disbelief as the sweet scent of an omega wafted from the blood in his hand.
Only then did she realize what she had missed.
