Thirty-five-year-old restaurant owner Lin Wan’er unexpectedly enters the Great Yan Dynasty, a world with far more men than women, and becomes Su Wan’er, the only daughter of the Su family, whom everyone is eager to marry. She is bound to the “Matchmaking Clearance System” and must make eight powerful men truly fall in love with her, or be cast down to the bottom of society.
She uses her modern cooking skills to make her snack shop a sensation and her business savvy to resolve her family’s crises, inadvertently attracting a host of targets, including the cold-faced tax official Shen Yanzhi, magistrate Zhou Jingyuan, and imperial merchant Gu Yunzhou. From the county town to the capital, she proves her innocence with an open kitchen, helps a general treat an old injury through food therapy, eases the emperor’s troubles with a tiered tax plan, and protects the Seventh Prince amid a succession struggle.
Once all eight men have fallen for her, the System leaves her to choose whether to stay or go. Where will she go from here?
