[Satisfying revenge + System + historical romance + Gourmet + regretful pursuit]
Lin Wanzui, a modern Michelin chef, transmigrates into the body of a crown princess chosen to bring good luck. The Crown Prince, Xiao Heng, loves another woman and wants to starve her to death. Trapped in the cold palace with only a bowl of spoiled rice to eat, she activates the Gourmet God Business System. Its very first task is to “earn one tael of silver by running a street stall.” Using a simple stove, she cooks a bowl of “soul-stealing egg fried rice,” and its aroma wafts all the way to the imperial study. From then on, the cold palace’s little side gate becomes the hardest entrance to get through in the entire imperial city. Civil officials trade paintings and calligraphy for a plate of peanuts, military officers trade martial arts manuals for a basket of soup dumplings, and even the Crown Prince, who looks down on her, has to pay a hundred taels of gold and take a number before he can enter. The main story follows her as she builds a Gourmet empire and collects seven mysterious “God of Food recipes,” ultimately uncovering the hidden secret behind this world’s “cultivation through food energy.”
