[Ding! You have received a guide to a wage earner's survival in the Cold Palace. Please take a look.]
Transmigrated into the lowest-ranking palace maid in the Cold Palace, Xiao Jiu rubs her hands together. What does she need to do?
Fight for the emperor's favor and become the most favored empress of the dynasty or something like that...
[System: Maximum difficulty warning.]
Then... save enough for retirement, leave the palace, and lie flat in peace? Hehe!
Low status, a crowd of eccentric characters, and getting stabbed in the back all the time. Not hehe!
Xiao Jiu sighs and prepares to quit. Wait, what's this? A portable refrigerator! What kind of good thing is this doing in the Cold Palace?
The best part is, once it's open, it can hold absolutely anything! (So satisfying!)
[System: Use the refrigerator to resolve an apocalyptic crisis and investigate mysterious palace cases.]
Xiao Jiu: Tsk, my head itches. Looks like a brain is about to grow in there.
Huh, why are one or two good-for-nothing men hanging around me? Go on, get lost! Don't keep me from clocking out!

Literary version of the blurb: Original title: A Book of Yesterday
"What's his name?" Newly arrived in the palace, Xiao Jiu asked, curious but cautious.
"You don't know him? He's Ji Fengyue." Ji Fengyue, as clear and bright as the wind and moon.
They say the new top scholar, Ji Fengyue, can turn clouds into rain with a wave of his hand.
A few months later, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
She looked back once more at the deep palace walls.
Black and white changed places, every move was irreversible, and the empire stood on the brink of collapse.
"Xiao Jiu, where are you going?"
She kept walking without looking back. There was always somewhere for her in this world.
If only she could ignore the tail following behind her.
Check out the completed story The Empress's Dark Cuisine Group in my column.
Blurb: [The Transmigration Bureau: Effective immediately, join the Dark Cuisine Group, turn the tables against the odds, and become the most dazzling empress in history!]
Women supporting women, a light and sweet treat.
[Episode One: The Lazy Empress Outsmarts the Rebels]
After transmigrating for five years, Shan Yi finally became empress. The useless emperor disappeared, and the regent spent every day plotting to seize the throne.
"The Empress's Dark Cuisine Group: Want to find your missing husband, secure your position as empress, and lie flat in comfort? Just make all kinds of dark cuisine!"
Shan Yi: A scam... a scam?
[Episode Two: The Kind and Beautiful Demon Empress Clears Her Name]
Falsely accused of being a demon empress, Yue Yi, a pure-hearted and kind woman who always put others first, died by the sword of a treacherous minister.
Given another chance, she swore to find her long-lost emperor husband and reclaim everything that should have been hers!
Yue Yi: Please take a seat, everyone. I'll explain my detailed plan for revenge and rising to power!
[Episode Three: The Humiliated Princess Consort Turns the Tables and Becomes Empress]
Insulted by the man she was sent to marry and looked down on by the palace servants,
she ate the worst food in the palace and slept on the hardest bed.
"Look, Her Highness really isn't favored by the prince. The Eastern Palace will probably have a new arrival soon~"
With the group chat as her cheat, Qing Ci abandoned her old habit of enduring humiliation and upgraded to a full-on lunatic.
What did the prince matter? If he didn't want her, she'd make herself his stepmother!
She would win over that handsome emperor,
then leap straight to becoming empress. That was much better than being a crown princess.
Who knew the crown prince would suddenly come to his senses and try to win her back?
Qing Ci: (Kicks over the dog bowl) Get as far away from me as you can!
Threatened with a coup, framed as a demon empress, or forced into a humiliating political marriage? Don't panic. A wave of dark cuisine tasks is headed your way, ready to help you become the most dazzling empress (by seducing them).
Other transmigrators bring a System and make delicious food that looks, smells, and tastes wonderful, winning people's hearts and reaching the pinnacle of life. But the heroine is forced by her System to make dark cuisine. Every day, she's either blowing up the kitchen or on her way to blow it up.
Everyone's disgusted expression: It's hideous and impossible to swallow!
After eating: Ah~ That's delicious! Give me another bowl!
Who could have guessed the heroine would secure her position as empress by blowing up the kitchen?
