Marrying the Fallen Empress, Activating the System with a Steamed Bun

share time: 2026-03-01 00:38:41

Lin Chuan, a modern corporate slave, is reborn as a destitute scholar in ancient times. One day, he rescues Jiang Zhao, the gravely wounded empress of a fallen kingdom. To save her, he offers his last hot steamed bun—unexpectedly activating the "Empress Protection System," which grants national fortune bonuses and combat skills upon completing tasks. On one hand, Jiang Zhao harbors unyielding imperial pride and a burning desire for revenge over her destroyed country; on the other, the system pushes Lin Chuan to "charm the empress" with absurd missions. Forced to balance calming the fiery empress and fending off pursuers, Lin Chuan's life becomes a chaotic juggle. When the icy empress finally lowers her guard and blushes at his steamed bun, their fates are irrevocably tied by the system: either restore her kingdom together, or... eat hot steamed buns for a lifetime?
