Fluffy-loving beauty Omega bottom x lovestruck Marshal White Tiger Alpha top

After spending more than twenty years as an Earthling, Chi Xun transmigrates thousands of years into the future and becomes an Omega on a remote planet.

He's poor, but can just about get by. Most importantly, he no longer has to be a corporate slave.

With what little money he has and his small vegetable garden, Chi Xun manages to live a comfortable life, until one night he discovers a tiny tiger stuck in his window.

The little tiger has Chi Xun's braised beef in its mouth and gives him an adorably fierce growl. But as soon as it opens its mouth, the meat falls out.

Little tiger: The meat I worked so hard to find! QAQ

Chi Xun: "..."

Who could turn away a tiger cub showing up at their door? He certainly can't!

From then on, Chi Xun spends every day happily kissing, cuddling, and lifting the cub up high.

But the cub has a big appetite, and as Chi Xun's wallet gets thinner and the little tiger gets chubbier, he has no choice but to bring out the family specialty: soup!

-

One night, a strange-sounding livestream room quietly appears on the biggest livestreaming app on the Star Network: "Come On Over~ Let's Make Soup~"

The utterly baffled viewers click in out of curiosity and are stunned by the beautiful man on screen. How can anyone be so gentle and handsome?

Just as the viewers think he's a beauty streamer, he pulls out a big knife, deftly chops a chicken into pieces, and throws them into a pot. Then he adds a whole bottle of liquor and a big chunk of ginger.

Viewers: ??? Wait, who uses liquor like water? You can make soup like that?! No way, I don't believe it. This has to be some kind of horrifying concoction.

The skeptical viewers try making it themselves, and then they have to eat their words.

Thanks to his incredible soup-making skills, Chi Xun quickly goes viral on the Star Network. Even the little tiger, who occasionally shows a paw in his livestream, gets round and chubby from eating.

Then the little tiger cub's father comes knocking.

Looking at the Imperial Marshal and prince standing before him, Chi Xun swallows nervously. He really didn't steal the tiger cub!

-

When Chi Xun thinks he'll never see the little tiger again, the Marshal arrives at his home with the unconscious cub and knocks on his door.

"He needs your pheromones, Chi Xun."

For the sake of the little tiger's health, Chi Xun moves into the Marshal's home. He gets a generous salary and can keep raising the cub, and sometimes even brush the big tiger's fur. Life couldn't be better.

Until he goes into heat.

After a chaotic night, Chi Xun tries to sneak away, but a big tail wraps around his waist. The Alpha behind him looks at him mournfully. "Are you really going to start something and then abandon me and the cub?"

Fluffy-loving Chi Xun sees the ears poking out of the man's hair and the tail around his waist. He stammers, "H-How could I?"

That very day, he's dragged off to get a marriage certificate, going from a poor Omega to the Marshal's husband.

-

The viewers have been waiting ages for the beauty streamer to go live again when they suddenly receive a notification: the Marshal, a lifelong bachelor, has announced his marriage.

W-What?!

Thinking it's an April Fool's prank, they click through, only to discover that the person he married is the beautiful streamer who disappeared days ago!

Waaah, what did we do to deserve a chance to learn soup-making from the Marshal's husband?!

Will the streamer ever cook again? They haven't had enough soup yet!

The answer is yes. Not only does the streamer keep cooking, but the Marshal occasionally appears in the livestream too.

The Marshal, who can take out a space pirate with a single stroke, wears casual clothes and earnestly helps prepare ingredients. When the streamer praises him for washing the vegetables clean and cutting the potatoes nicely, he looks as if he can't believe his luck.

Everyone: ...Marshal, do you remember saying you were a bachelor who didn't need an Omega?

Lusien Leidros: When did I ever say that? Don't slander me.

His survival instinct is practically overflowing, Marshal.

-

Not long afterward, the Marshal succeeds to the throne, and the beautiful streamer becomes Empress of the Empire.

When nobles question him because he was born a commoner, Chi Xun doesn't offer any explanations. He even stops livestreaming.

Just when everyone is eagerly waiting for him to return, Chi Xun directly translates the many ancient documents that have puzzled experts on Old Earth for years, including Chinese recipes.

The food lovers of the interstellar age: At last, Chinese cuisine! We're saved!

Contains many author-created details. The cub is not the top's biological child. The top and bottom only have each other.

Warning: There may be pregnancy and childbirth! But during pregnancy the cub is in animal form, and technology is advanced, so the bottom won't experience labor pains!

Note: The cooking livestreams mainly feature in the early chapters as a transition, and there won't be many of them later. This is not a traditional food novel. At its heart, it's a romance about raising a child, and the bottom's career really takes off in the middle and later parts. The author is from Guangdong. Everyone has different cooking methods and seasonings, and the author will describe the food based on personal habits and local cooking styles, so please don't nitpick.

Theme: Protecting animals is everyone's responsibility.
