Fashion editor Su Wan spent three years hiding behind the persona of a “Chanel lady” to preserve her relationship and meet society’s expectations. When her fake-sweet best friend Zhou Yutong broke up her relationship with fabricated photos of her “cheating,” Su Wan was heartbroken. At a night market, she shed her disguise, went makeup-free, and dug into a roasted pig’s trotter, embracing her true self as a foodie.
In her moment of embarrassment, she ran into Lin Chuan, a fitness instructor. Holding a lamb skewer and wearing his cap askew, he easily called out the lie she’d told about never eating at night markets. Even more surprising, he not only accepted the real her, but knew all about her obsession with food. It turned out he had been quietly paying attention to her for a long time.
Two hearts longing to break free of their restraints quickly drew close. Both had escaped the expectations of their families: she avoided blind dates, while he refused to take over the martial arts school. They only wanted to live life on their own terms. The two hit it off and opened a unique martial arts and food shop together in a lively alley.
When Zhou Yutong couldn’t let it go and came to pick fights with them again and again, they deftly turned the tables. Lin Chuan’s “accidental” antics left her humiliated, and the video she took of their “embarrassing” moment instead went viral, making them a model of “authentic foodies.” In the end, Zhou Yutong could only watch them work together in perfect sync: Su Wan called out that the sugar art was about to burn, spatula in hand, while Lin Chuan, wearing an apron, praised her braised pig’s trotters as more satisfying than a fight.
Su Wan understood that the sharpest retaliation wasn’t an argument. It was joining hands with the right person and making a warm, bustling life together. Amid the clashing of good food and sweat, they found true happiness.
Is it a story about a girl who will do whatever it takes to pursue a man? 🙈
