Su Wanxing, a modern five-star chef, is electrocuted while staying up late to work on recipes. When she opens her eyes, she has transmigrated into the Dayao Dynasty as a doomed concubine in Prince Jing's household. The original owner was useless at everything except fighting for favor. To win over the male lead, Prince Jing Xiao Jingyuan, she turned the household upside down, until the prince could take no more and banished her to a side residence, where she met a miserable end.
Looking at her stunning face and empty stomach in the mirror, Su Wanxing promptly gives up on fighting for affection. What is romance compared to a good meal? Cooking is the true path in life! With her extraordinary culinary skills, she starts out in the small kitchen of the cold courtyard, first winning over the servants' stomachs, then impressing the exacting Prince Jing. Finally, her array of novel dishes takes the capital by storm, earning her the title of the “Goddess Chef Concubine,” adored by all. Prince Jing Xiao Jingyuan, who once avoided her at every turn, goes from “What mischief is this woman up to now?” to “What delicious thing did Xingxing make today?” and “Who dares bully my Goddess Chef Concubine?” He spends the whole story chasing her, ultimately becoming Su Wanxing's devoted foodie.
This is a lighthearted, sweet romance about how cooking changes one's fate and good food conquers a prince's household. There is no angst, only the joy of eating and the sweetness of two people falling for each other.
