Summary

After collapsing during research, 21st-century astronomer Yu Nianqing wakes up in the interstellar era as a wealthy socialite and livestreamer on Planet Lox. Her livestream cooking demo ends in an explosion and a flood of insults on the Starnet, and her father cuts off her credits to force her home for an arranged marriage. Broke, Yu Nianqing buys rice and eggs for 12 star credits and secretly picks tomatoes from the neighbor's garden to make tomato-and-egg stir-fry, which unexpectedly sets the Starnet ablaze. Her neighbor turns out to be Chief Consul Bo Chen, who must marry her before the Day of Mutation. Forced into a marriage contract, Bo Chen scorns cooking at first but is gradually won over by her food; the two move from rejection to acceptance and are drawn into family intrigue, mysteries of her origins, and the threat of the Zerg.

Editor's review

A quintessential interstellar sweet-romance novel: its charm lies in the contrast between food livestreaming and love after marriage—a cold-faced consul brought down from his pedestal by a plate of tomato-and-egg stir-fry makes for light, stress-relieving fun, while the whole-galaxy-darling and wealthy-family subplots keep things lively. Suited to readers looking to relax with light face-slapping and daily sweetness. The weakness is the later shift into interstellar politics and origin mysteries, which muddles the pacing, and the sci-fi setting is mostly background.

Reading tips

  1. The first few chapters capture the core thrill of the food livestream; skim the transmigration setup quickly
  2. Watch the details of Bo Chen's attitude shift—it's the main appeal of the romance line
  3. Later chapters lean heavily into interstellar politics and origin threads; feel free to skim the daily-interaction passages
