What Is the Princess Consort Eating Today?

[A practice piece written after passing review, a nonsensical fluffy romance written without a plan and with no idea what I was doing. Enter at your own risk!!! Please don't scold me, sob]

After transmigrating seventeen years ago, Song Qingwan angrily cast off her identity as the prime minister's eldest daughter. She was on track to become a renowned chef in Huainan, celebrated far and wide. But then a marriage decree arrived, and Song Qingwan became the Second Prince's consort.

The little childhood friend who had once been so well-behaved around her had, in the blink of an eye, become her new husband.

In his youth, Second Prince Pei Xiao had been exceptionally gifted, and the emperor had high hopes that he would become the heir to the throne.

When they met again, the once brilliant young man had become a laughingstock in Bianliang. Everyone said he seemed refined and gracious on the surface, but was a womanizer at heart, and not a suitable match.

After marrying a lowly cook in the eyes of the world, he became an even greater object of ridicule.

After they married, Song Qingwan was so busy she could barely think, while Pei Xiao kept finding new ways to make her furious.

From wearing her down until they split their assets thirty-seventy, to freeloading on her food and charging it all to her account.

For a while, she thought Pei Xiao had married her only because the imperial match left him no choice. Until she brought another woman to him. The usually carefree man looked at her with nothing but scorn. "Song Qingwan, you've really got some nerve!"

Then he carefully tugged at her finger, like a puppy begging for affection. "Could you try seeing me as your husband?"

At the Qixi Palace Banquet, her Feast of Ten Thousand Generations won the whole hall's applause, while his performance of Phoenix Seeking Its Mate dazzled everyone. The lowly couple whom others looked down on had been made for each other all along.

Song Qingwan made her restaurant thrive, earning gold by the day and bringing in a steady stream of wealth.

Later, she discovered that every step she took had been paved by the young man, who had spent ten years quietly preparing a betrothal gift for her.

She was his first love, his long-planned devotion. He had spent so, so long making his way toward her, unwaveringly.

[Reader's Guide]

1. The heroine was born into this world. She and the hero were childhood friends, but after she faked her death, they lost contact. At first, she is focused on her career. They marry before they fall in love. The hero's secret crush finally comes true, and he is completely love-struck.

2. The hero is not useless (he is pretending). At first, he is arrogant, stubborn, and asking for a beating. Once he confesses his feelings, he becomes clingy and dotes on his wife to the max.

3. Both are sexually inexperienced; one-to-one romance. More food in the first half, sweet romance later, minor misunderstandings early on, a little political intrigue later, and a loosely imagined Song dynasty setting.

She transmigrates into a world where humans and demons coexist, and from the start the big villain sends her back to the respawn point... or tries to.

After deciding to lie flat, Ran Yunzhi discovers that her older sister is a beloved savior and her future brother-in-law is a renowned hero. So she picks up a sweet, obedient young man and takes devoted care of him.

But she has no idea that the gentle, considerate young man before her, as bright and serene as the moon, is actually the gloomy, obsessive, vengeful supervillain who kills without blinking.

He is the one who presses a dagger to her throat, showing no trace of affection as he tries to kill her: "Useless people don't deserve to live in this world."

He is the one who carefully tugs at her clothes, clinging close and pleading in a quiet voice: "Don't leave me here. Take me with you."

He is also the one who faces a horde of demons alone, letting a long halberd pierce his body to protect her behind him.

"I have nothing. The only thing I can give you is my life."

"Do you want me?"

The aloof, proud young man had his wings broken and was haunted by the same nightmare over and over.

In his gray-white nightmare, a great fire blazed. Zhu Le was trampled underfoot, his flesh torn open, the tendons and bones in his hands and feet severed bit by bit.

It was not only he who died, but also all his kindness and feelings.

When hatred tore him apart, she stayed by his side, slowly piecing him back together.

He returned from a sea of corpses, no longer alone.

So Zhu Le sheathed his claws. A Zhi liked him in white and didn't like gloomy people, so he hid all his dark thoughts away.

But her clear black-and-white eyes did not linger on him alone. Foolish, incompetent demons were better at winning her favor than he was.

He exhausted every scheme and used every despicable means, wearing that false mask, begging for even the slightest bit of her affection and compassion.

There are two ways to return to her original world.

One: obtain four divine artifacts and prevent this world from being destroyed.

Two: kill the villain, Wule.

As conspiracies came to light and the world teetered on the brink of collapse, the white-clad young man holding a divine artifact dropped his disguise. He crossed a sea of corpses and silently faced her.

"Don't you hate me most of all? Why hesitate now?" He knelt before her, his icy hands reverently cupping her face. Flecks of light shattered in his eyes, leaving him fragile and innocent.

"Come. I'll die for you."

Thesis: Love and good food are the only things we must never let down
