Gu Yanyue, a three-Michelin-starred chef, transmigrated.
She transmigrated into the body of the empress, but the emperor was a puppet ruler.
To survive, Gu Yanyue returned to her old trade in the palace: cooking!
The villainous consort's maid: Your Highness, it's not that we haven't tried to poison her. The empress cooks for herself every day, so we never get the chance!
The wicked elder sister's maid: My lady, I've been doing my best to seduce the emperor for you, but he insists on eating all three meals a day with the empress. This is impossible!
The adopted daughter of the empress dowager's maid: My lady, I've tried my best to speak ill of the empress in front of the empress dowager, but she can't eat anything except the empress's delicious cooking. There's no way to drive a wedge between them!
The villains all rise up in rebellion: We're done! This is too hard!
The puppet emperor: The empress is quite skilled at seducing men. She used to say all day that she loved me so much, and now she's come up with this lowly trick of cooking?
Gu Yanchuan, after transmigrating, is completely bewildered.
The puppet emperor: What is this? How can you eat meat straight out of a boiling pot? The broth is even red! I would rather starve to death than take a single bite!
Gu Yanchuan: It's called... hot pot.
The puppet emperor, eating his words: A delicacy beyond compare!
