(This novel is set in a fictional historical world. Please don’t try to match it to real history.)
Food blogger Shen Fuling woke up one day as an orphan fleeing famine.
She had only a few copper coins left, and the taste of dirt filled her mouth.
Chang’an lay ahead, and the home she could never return to was behind her.
But she wasn’t afraid.
She had a pair of hands and the soul of a foodie.
From scallion pancakes at a roadside stall, to the “Taste of Home” restaurant in the eastern market, and finally to the imperial palace’s Longevity Banquet.
First she won over the cold-faced general’s stomach, then she captured his heart.
She said, “I’ll cook, and you eat.” He said, “All right.”
Just those two words, and she heard them for ten years.
No golden finger, no pocket dimension, just a heart that refused to accept its fate.
How will she rise to become the owner of Chang’an’s best restaurant?
Why will the cold-faced general only eat the noodles she makes?
The answers are all in the book.
