When Jiang Nuan, a food blogger and entrepreneur, opened her eyes, she found that she was dressed as Song Lin, the lowest-ranking roommate in Prince Xi Chaochen's mansion.
She has no father, no mother, no name, no status, even the maid in the kitchen can step on her.
In her previous life, Jiang Nuan built her career with just one hand, but she still has no intention of accepting her fate in this life.
A bowl of crab roe and tofu soup made the cold-faced palace staff remember her name; a plate of sesame crisps became the first bargaining chip for her to gain a foothold; six home-cooked dishes were served on the prince's table, and she finally gained some breathing room in this deep mansion.
But the water in the palace is far deeper than the kitchen. The scheming concubine Zhou, the undercurrent of account balances, the entanglements of interests hidden behind the "Mantingxiang" restaurant... Behind every dish is a silent game.
And the always prudent and restrained Prince Chen, Pei Yun, seemed to look at her with more than just "this woman is good at her craftsmanship".
This time-traveling girl doesn't believe in tears or beauty, she only believes in the heat on the stove and the ledger in her mind.
Let's see how she uses a spoon and a shovel as a sword to walk step by step from the darkest corner of the palace to the light.
