Synopsis

Food blogger Su Jixiang transmigrates into the body of a palace maid in the Cold Palace. What do the masters' schemes have to do with a lowly maid like her? She thought she could keep her head down and lie low until she turned twenty-five, when she'd be released from the palace to live like a little rich lady. Who could have guessed the emperor would flee!

As a palace remnant of the deposed emperor's court, Su Jixiang is given to a general guarding the frontier.

The palace loses a beloved Auntie Jixiang, while the borderlands gain a fiery little cook with a hard fist and an even better hand in the kitchen!

This cook is something else. She can fry, sauté, boil, and roast with the best of them. From now on, the army's slop becomes delicious food. There's no conflict a hot pot meal can't solve, and if there is, just add a barbecue feast!

Wei Ling had thought his life had always been full of ups and downs, and that he would end up in this bitter, freezing frontier, surrounded by snowy mountains and dark rivers. He never expected to meet Su Jixiang, who was both a wonderful cook and a formidable fighter.

Her arrival stirred his heart, as dry as a well, once more. His loathing for everything in the world could not withstand one steaming, fragrant dish after another.

She gave him the warmth of an ordinary, happy life, so he would give her a lifetime of honor and splendor…
