A modern wonton-stall owner dies suddenly and transmigrates into the body of a good-for-nothing princess consort. She plans to take it easy and enjoy her retirement, but accidentally sets an entire dynasty in motion with a single bowl of wontons.
Her name is Su Tang. After staying up all night making wontons, she dies suddenly and wakes up as a good-for-nothing princess consort, abandoned by the prince in their bridal chamber on their wedding night. Faced with an empty kitchen and snobbish servants, her first instinct is not to cry, but to make herself a bowl of wontons. A bowl of chicken soup wontons unexpectedly wins the battle-hardened prince’s heart, and from then on, the cold-faced prince begins his long pursuit of his wife: “happening” to stop by for meals, secretly protecting her, and clumsily learning to cook. Meanwhile, Su Tang starts with a roadside stall and uses modern business strategies to build the capital’s largest trade guild, improve the frontier army’s rations, and outwit Prince Qing, who is plotting rebellion in secret. In the end, she becomes a business queen and gets the man who cannot say sweet things to awkwardly confess, “I have feelings for you.”
