[Food] [Sweet romance] [One-on-one, both leads are virgins] [Transmigrate and rise to the top]
Modern-day foodie Su Wantang wakes up to find herself a nobody in Northern Song Dynasty Bianjing. Her family is dirt-poor, her relatives are mean, and her scumbag fiancé wants to break off the engagement just to humiliate her? Su Wantang rolls up her sleeves. “Don’t panic! Just watch this cook charm all of Bianjing with her signature snacks!” From a street stall to the imperial banquet, her sweet-and-sour pork amazes everyone, and her cream cakes win over the imperial harem. Before she knows it, she’s become the talk of the capital, a stunning beauty famed for her culinary talents. But why does the cool, powerful minister who keeps dropping by, looks impossibly handsome, and always “happens” to show up whenever she’s in trouble look at her more and more strangely?
The minister: “My lady, what new dish have you come up with today? Might I be the first to... taste it, and marry you?”
Su Wantang: “My lord, there goes your cool and aloof image!”
A heartwarming, healing story about a foodie girl using good food to turn her life around and, along the way, winning herself a top-ranking minister.
