My Private Dishes Made Me Famous in the Capital, and Now the Imperial Phoenix Seal Is at My Door!

Overnight, Yao Chengcheng transmigrates into the body of a maiden selected to enter the prince's household.

While the other young women are still beaming with joy and blushing shyly, she already knows what lies in store for them:

The regent is now an invalid, with crippled legs and a violent illness.

Several maidens were dragged away and beheaded on the spot just for showing a trace of fear when they saw the prince.

Yao Chengcheng shudders.

"I don't want to be a palace maiden! I'll be His Highness's cook!"

Everyone in the prince's household: ?

As a culinary expert, this is a piece of cake for her!

She can fry, deep-fry, stir-fry, braise, and stew. Just hand her a wok and spatula.

What's so great about being the prince's woman?

Wouldn't it be better to make a fortune and become a restaurant owner?!

Thanks to her skills, Yao Chengcheng manages to establish herself.

In her spare time, she even opens a little eatery outside the manor.

She makes a fortune... and when her fixed-term contract ends, she slips away!

What Yao Chengcheng doesn't know is that a pair of eyes has been watching her in secret for a long time.

Fu Yuanzheng gave up on life long ago. His rotting existence had become a pool of filth, a dead tree.

That is, until one day, a girl who thought she was clever barged in.

At first, Fu Yuanzheng thought she was amusing. He kept her around to see what kind of trouble she would get into.

Later, the girl ran away, and Fu Yuanzheng went mad all over again.

He searched every inch of the land until he dug her out.

"Run? Why not come to hell with me instead..."

The next moment, a candy was shoved into Fu Zheng's mouth.

"What's fun about going to hell? Besides, I've got a baby on the way, so the King of Hell won't take me."

"..."
