Su Wan, a modern-day chef, transmigrates unexpectedly and becomes the legitimate daughter of a prime minister whose entire family has been massacred in the Great Jing dynasty.
Her family is falsely accused and slaughtered. Fleeing for her life through a desolate forest, she is on the verge of death when Xiao Jue, a cold-faced, easygoing prince feared by all, saves her.
Dressed in white and untouched by the dust of the world, he wields immense power. Cold, ruthless, and merciless in his killings, he is someone no one at court dares approach. Yet he makes an exception and takes in the destitute Su Wan.
She only wants to keep a low profile in the prince’s manor and live in safety while secretly investigating the wrongful case, taking down her enemies, and clearing her family’s name.
But her peerless cooking skills amaze everyone. She excels at everything from simple home-cooked dishes to delicate pastries and nourishing medicinal cuisine, effortlessly winning over the aloof prince through his stomach.
From then on, the icy prince breaks all his own rules. He turns up every day for a meal and backs her in everything, openly spoiling her without restraint.
Bright and lively, she may be carefree, but she is sharp-minded. With her cooking, she makes a name for herself in the capital; with her wits, she turns the tables against all odds and crushes the enemies who once humiliated her beneath her feet.
The noblewomen of the capital envy her with all their hearts, their eyes red with jealousy, but all they can do is watch:
The cold-faced prince turns this fallen noblewoman into the most cherished darling in the entire capital.
