After the company's entire plane crashed and everyone on board died, we all found ourselves transported into a novel, tasked with winning the favor of a queen. The system's icy voice issued its prompt: [The queen's male consort possesses a voice as melodious as a lark's.] Our handsome secretary smiled with quiet confidence. That very day, he stationed himself along the queen's usual route and began to sing a modern pop song. The queen was thoroughly pleased. She summoned him onto her carriage. Our colleagues looked on with unconcealed envy. "Looks like the bonus is his." "How lucky. The queen is wealthy and beautiful. Not only does he get to spend the night with her, he'll make a fortune too." But the next day, we saw the secretary hanging from a tree in the royal garden. His body was completely naked, riddled with arrows, his eyes still wide open in death. The voice he had once cherished was now a vessel crammed with thick, crude bamboo spikes. At the same time, the system's cold notification sounded once more. [All challengers' lives have entered the countdown. Please complete your conquest as soon as possible.]

That night, a ruthless purge targeting the challengers began. The entire palace ran red with blood, and one by one, the profile icons in the company group chat turned gray.Many cursed the manager with their dying breaths.Nick found me and begged me to save his life.I pushed his hand away, my expression unmoved."That bottle of cologne—we bought it together. But when I was falsely accused, you wouldn't even speak up for me. I know you were afraid of getting dragged into trouble for defending me. So now, you should be able to understand me. I'm simply protecting myself."In the end, only the manager and I remained alive in the entire palace.His face twisted with malice as he pointed at me. "Your Majesty, he is the last challenger. Kill him, and no one will be left to use their demonic arts to threaten your rule."The queen held a longsword in her hand, advancing toward me step by step.When she reached me, she swung.I closed my eyes instinctively, but the pain I expected ne

The boss and the manager were slightly more fortunate than the rest. Inspired by my actions, they began considering modern methods to win the queen's favor.After racking their brains for a long time, they finally decided to build a handgun.When they presented the idea to the queen, she showed immediate interest. She even declared that if they could truly produce this so-called handgun, she would appoint them as grand generals on the spot.The promise left both men elated.In the group chat, they selected a few other mid-level staff members to assist them.When others protested, asking why they hadn't been chosen, the boss merely replied coolly, "A bunch of useless workhorses will only drag us down. You're fit for manual labor, perhaps—but when it comes to thinking, that's best left to intelligent people like us."Determined to succeed, the boss and the manager worked day and night, drafting blueprints and conducting endless research. Unfortunately, building a handgun was far fr
Cooking for a Cruel Queen Chapter 6
We were all young people of the modern era, making our way in the world. Who among us hadn't picked up a few simple, foolproof recipes from food bloggers?Besides, if the goal was to prepare dishes that could heal illnesses, that was even easier. The medical texts I could purchase from the system's marketplace—others could buy them too.When the queen remained silent for a long moment, the accountant finally lifted his head. Seeing that the person before him was me, a flash of resentment flickered in his eyes.Gathering his courage, he pressed on. "Your Majesty, this chef and I are acquaintances. Whatever he can do, I can do as well."The queen's gaze drifted back and forth between us. On the floor, the HR representative curled into a trembling ball, clutching his throat in agony—reduced to a forgotten backdrop.Then the queen turned to me, a rare smile touching her lips. "So, you know each other?"I shook my head. "No, Your Majesty. I do not."The accountant's expression turned

But now, in this test of human nature, I trusted no one. I trusted only myself.I bribed a few palace maids and had them spread the word. They said that a new chef had arrived at the royal kitchen—one who could create unparalleled delicacies. More importantly, his dishes could heal, quietly strengthening the body without one even realizing it.Public opinion, when used for the right purpose, could be a powerful tool.Soon, my reputation spread throughout the palace. Even the queen personally appointed me to prepare her meals.The long-silent company group chat grew lively once again.[Do you know who this new chef is? I got a feeling he's one of us.][Not me. I'm washing the queen's laundry every day. My hands are practically shedding a layer of skin.]As everyone speculated, my heart remained suspended, never quite settling. I had only one health point left. Which meant I had just one day to live.Yet, the queen merely had me prepare dish after dish, never once summoning me. I

I grabbed his arm. "We've never had any grudges at the company. Why are you scheming against me like this?"The HR representative couldn't shake me off and flared with anger."Are you insane? You're the one who never tells the truth. I know you don't want to do hard labor in the kitchen, but look

The boss, seasoned by countless storms, quickly stepped in to steady the room."Calm down. There are thirty-five of us. With that many minds working together, are we really unable to come up with a strategy? Don't lose your composure."The manager nodded, a sharp glint flashing behind his lenses.

The secretary was dead, and the atmosphere instantly turned razor-tense.Our receptionist broke down in hysterical sobs. "Weren't we supposed to be winning the queen's favor? How can people actually die? I don't want to be a challenger anymore. I want to go home!"The others were just as shaken, t
