by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
Zoya Petrova, a celebrated chef, dies in a kitchen fire and awakens in the body of Lady Verena Rostova, a political hostage in the brutal Kaskov Empire. Feared and isolated, Verena is a pawn in a dangerous game, destined for a poisoned end. But Zoya is no fragile noble. Armed with a cheeky wit and a modern understanding of hygiene, nutrition, and medicine, she begins to turn the tables. Her revolutionary culinary creations and a daring emergency appendectomy on a high-ranking noble catch the eye of the one man she was warned to avoid: Duke Kaelan Volkov, the emperor's fearsome spymaster and military commander. As she carves out a place for herself, introducing everything from food preservation to sterile surgical practices, Zoya uncovers a terrifying link between the mysterious 'Gravefrost Blight' decimating Kaskov's populace and the political plot that holds her hostage. In a land where poison is a language and every meal could be her last, can she expose the truth before she becomes the main course in a traitor's feast?
