【Hilarious + adored by the whole family + comeback in a bygone era + gourmet food + secret identities + Manchu culture】
When she woke up, Nala Jingshu, the last young lady of a Manchu noble house, had become a three-and-a-half-year-old darling in a small northeastern city in the 1980s!
In her previous life, she had exhausted herself trying to protect her family and failed. Now she woke up to find the house bare and her parents looking worried? No problem! Little Jingshu waved her chubby hands. “Sachima, fried dough twists, perilla-leaf buns... Bring them all to me!”
From the start, she made a bowl of creamy sachima, a treat even the Plain Yellow Banner couldn't afford every day, and left the whole alley drooling! Everyone laughed at how poor the Nalas were and waited for them to make fools of themselves. But then the young lady stepped in: a food factory on the verge of closing came back to life. “Our Jingshu just gave them a few pointers!” A lost recipe for Manchu-Han Imperial Feast pastries stunned the chefs at the state banquet. “Sweetheart, where did you learn this recipe?” The gold medalist from an international cooking competition tearfully begged to become her student. “Master, please accept my humble admiration!”
Little Jingshu counted her secret identities on her fingers: inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, culinary consultant, national treasure of a master... Oh dear, maybe she had taken things a little too far! A big shot, lured in by her cooking, cornered her against a wall. “Young lady, you've stolen my heart. How are you going to make it up to me?” Jingshu tilted her head and offered him a rose pastry. “Here, I'll pay you back with a snack!” He chuckled. “I'll take the pastry, and I'll take you too.”
Watch as the young Manchu lady uses her wisdom and heritage to lead her family to a life of good food and good times, make Manchu cuisine famous across the land, and, along the way, pick up a big shot who dotes on her endlessly!
