The Mermaid Chef: The Ocean Is My Playground

[Gourmet + Golden Finger + Ancient-Era Business + Male Lead + Lighthearted Everyday Life + Little Romance]

Lin Yue has been an orphan since childhood. To keep her job in the kitchen, she dies while rescuing the kitchen's treasures from a fire. When she opens her eyes, she has become a poor fisherwoman in an ancient seaside village! Her house is bare, the grain jar is nearly empty, and her younger siblings are crying with hunger.

At least heaven hasn't treated her too badly. The mermaid pearl that came with her soul lets her transform into a mermaid and explore the ocean. Deep-sea delicacies are now within easy reach...

With the boost from her modern cooking skills, she serves up drunken crab, garlic scallops, and stir-fried squid with bean paste, one after another.

From struggling alone to leading the whole village's fishermen in joining forces to get rich, rebuilding houses and buying new boats...

But the man she rescues from the water one night doesn't seem ordinary at all. He wears brocade robes and a jade belt, and has an air of nobility. At a seafood feast, she carries out her signature dish and meets that familiar, icy gaze from the seat of honor. Only then does she realize she rescued Prince Jing, Murong Jing! Lin Yue smiles brightly. “Your Highness, would you like to invest in my seafood restaurant? I guarantee you'll make a fortune!”
