Synopsis:
Lin Wanqing, a modern master chef, is betrayed by a scumbag and loses her family. At the height of her despair, she transmigrates into an insignificant concubine-born daughter, Su Qingge, in a fictional novel. Her birth mother was poisoned to death, her legitimate mother watches her like a hawk, and her elder sister is destined to become empress. As for Su Qingge, she’s to be sold off as an old man’s second wife by chapter three.
This time around, to hell with being lovestruck! Armed with the peerless Culinary Treasures left behind by her birth mother, she can debate every flavor and command the fate of the kitchen with her knife. Her legitimate mother tries to poison her? She turns the tables with food incompatibilities. Her elder sister steals her recipes? One long-lost imperial dish is all it takes to expose her true colors.
But what’s with that cold-faced general who keeps showing up for a free meal? He claims to have lost his sense of taste, yet he has a sharp-tongued critique for every dish she makes. “Third Miss Su, this soup is passable, but it’s three minutes short of yesterday’s bowl.”
She angrily flips the table, but he only laughs softly. “Still, you taste a little more right to me every day.”
The household power struggles run deep, and the imperial recipes are entangled with the political upheavals of the former dynasty. Watch as this concubine-born chef turns food into a blade, serves up a feast fit for the noblest halls, and becomes a legend in her own right, while cooking up a taste of true love for herself.
It's so beautiful, not sloppy, and full of emotions. It's a novel worth reading.
I hope you and I can find someone who is willing to wash the dishes for you I hope you and I can taste the best taste in the world
