A burned-out food blogger transmigrates into the body of a lowly male courtesan. Yunqi's rise begins when someone pays a fortune to recognize his talent.
A beauty mark by his eye catches the light as he auctions off the right to hear him play, turning the capital upside down. His hot-and-sour noodles take the imperial palace by storm, and his hotpot feast sets the winter ablaze.
With food, he becomes a legend; with his other hand, he opens a cooking school for women. But this draws the ire of powerful nobles, who try to poison him, while the Empress Dowager gives him a hard time and the prime minister humiliates him.
Until, on a rainy night, he tumbles into a certain man's carriage:
“Are you cold? Come closer.” Yan Hanzhou wraps him in his sable coat. Clad in black armor and marked by scars, the towering general seems able to hold up the sky.
But can a straight-laced general really be wooed?
When Yunqi helps a young princess who has lost her way, Yan Hanzhou gets jealous: “Am I not as good as cake?”
When Yunqi teaches noblewomen to chop vegetables, the general stands guard at the door with his sword.
When an imperial decree orders him to marry, Yan Hanzhou kneels in the snow for three days, defying the order: “In this life, I will have only Yunqi!”
He never regrets losing the use of his left hand to the cold. He breaks bones searching for Yunqi in a fire, trades half his heart to save him, and melts his tiger tally into a wedding ring to keep him safe.
“You want the realm itself as your betrothal gift? Fine. The world is yours, and so am I.”
A bewitching beauty pulls the strings, while a cold-faced general goes mad with love.

I have only read Chapter 7 so far. What a surprise! The plot really appealed to me. Like it very much! That's my favorite tune
