The Adorable Princess Chef: Hurry and Get into the Proud Young Master’s Bowl

The Little Chef Princess: Hurry and Get into the Proud Young Lord's Bowl

[The Ridiculous, Feel-Good Version] Food blogger Yuan Yuanyuan is round in the face, round in the eyes, and even rounder in the body. She has two great loves in life: eating, and making more delicious food!

After drowning while trying to save someone, she wakes up as Yuan Yuanyuan, the “good-for-nothing” of the Northern Ming Dynasty.

Her gambling-addict father has run off, and her frail mother is sobbing, so she sells herself into service: A maid is fine, as long as I get meals!

But on her very first day, she hears wails from the kitchen:

“The young master has fired the cook again!”

They say this young lord was born premature, is always sick, and has been single since birth. He’s got a sharp tongue and a scheming streak, and he turns his nose up at everything: no sweets, no spice, meat is too gamey, fish is too fishy, and even plain water is too tasteless.

Yuan Yuanyuan rolls up her sleeves. “Hard to please? Not in front of a food lover like me!”

Cheese-crusted soup dumplings, custard mooncakes that burst in your mouth, spicy crayfish buns... Their aroma drifts through the three courtyards.

The young master reaches for his chopsticks with refined dignity. “I’ll try one bite, just to be polite...”

Then another bite...

Then he keeps the cook for himself: “You’re mine now!”

From then on, the young master's daily routine goes like this:

“Yuanyuan, my chest feels tight. I need a hug before I can eat.”

“Yuanyuan, Xiao Yan gave you a chicken leg? Break his leg!”

“Yuanyuan, you want to open a food street? I’ll give you the whole Vermilion Bird Street. Don’t run away, okay?”

She runs, he chases, and she has nowhere to hide. Along the way, she feeds a lovesick man until he turns obsessive.

“Yuanyuan, just love me a little. I’d give you my life.”

“...Then drink the vinegar first. It’ll get rid of that fishy smell.”

See how this plump little cook uses her spatula to build a business empire, and turns the aloof, sharp-tongued young lord into a clingy little sweetheart!

Food + pure satisfaction + comedy + obsessive pursuit: guaranteed to make you grin the whole way through. Dieters beware!
