[Traditional historical romance, not a fast-paced power fantasy]
Naturally ditzy apprentice vs. refined, enigmatic master
In the neighborhood's eyes, she's a half-baked quack, a pretty little vixen, and an orphan anyone can bully.
In A Qing's eyes, she's a clueless, lazy mistress who knows nothing about food or hard work, a good person who feeds him, and a cold-faced, warm-hearted girl who's easy to fool.
In her senior brother's eyes, she's the snot-nosed little girl from his village, a fellow disciple who loves food but is also a master of terrible cooking, and the biggest scatterbrain in the world.
“Master, why are you crying?”
“The person I cherish with all my heart isn't meant to be mistreated by this fake.”
