The most aggressive widow cook in Yangzhou City conquered half of the south of the Yangtze River with her Yangchun Noodles.
Three years ago, she nailed her husband into the coffin with her own hands; three years later, an imperial edict summoned her into the palace.
She thought it was her late husband's old friend Gu Nianqing, but she didn't know that the aloof Emperor Taiping had a small mole at the end of his left eyebrow - exactly like her dead husband.
He is a new emperor with an unstable foundation. He can only promote the daughter of the prime minister to the position of concubine and struggle to survive in the cracks of power and intrigue.
She is the royal cook, and every step of her journey is startling. A bowl of Yangchun noodles brings back old memories of the Queen Mother, and also arouses the emperor's eyes.
He sent a "palace maid" to protect her, but he didn't expect that beneath those gray-blue eyes was the true face of the world's number one assassin, "Jade-faced Shura".
She saw through everything, but she didn't say anything. She just handed over a handkerchief under the moonlight on the roof: "If one day you can't protect me, take these and go out of the palace to be an ordinary person."
