The Emperor Made Me His Imperial Chef, but He's Eating Premade Meals!

[Foodie Fantasy Space] [Love After Marriage] [Adorable Kids] [Slice of Life] (Food stories need lots of ingredients, so this novel uses a pocket-space setting, all to help the heroine cook.)

Modern food streamer Lin Shinuan wakes up transmigrated into the body of a country girl in ancient times, with a food-ordering space and an unlimited Ready-Made Meal System. While everyone else relies on knife skills and cooking time, she just opens packages and heats things up.

She only wanted to quietly farm and raise her adorable child. Who could have guessed that one ordinary ready-made meal would make the emperor, traveling incognito, so enchanted by its aroma that he would issue an imperial edict appointing her as a royal chef!

The court officials praise her culinary skills as divine, and everyone in the palace regards her as a celestial chef. Only Lin Shinuan is panicking inside:

Your Majesty! The imperial dishes you hail as the finest food in the world are all ready-made meals I've reheated!

The various palaces have to bribe me to place their orders. Don't rush, there's enough for everyone!

I'll finish yours, then yours, then yours, and then yours!

She opens her space, takes out scissors, cuts open a package, pours the contents into a dish, and heats it over a flame.

Ding! Your Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is ready, Your Majesty.

What? The Noble Consort wants a bowl of fresh soup?

Coming right up! I'll take a packet of concentrated soup base, add water and bring it to a boil, then sprinkle on some scallions.

Fresh soup, coming right up

What? The Empress Dowager says the dish isn't fragrant enough?

I'll add a spoonful of my secret flavor enhancer,

so delicious you'll want to swallow your tongue!

Modern instant food that nobody thought much of becomes the finest imperial cuisine in ancient times.

While nervously bluffing her way through, she makes money like crazy. The emperor eats with relish and urges her to bring out new dishes every day: "My beloved chef, when will today's celestial feast be served?"
