She was a three-Michelin-starred chef. After a plane crash, she found herself a poor village girl in a fictional dynasty.
A broken engagement? A forced marriage? Bullying by her clan? Sorry, she refuses to be a doormat.
With a jar of family-recipe pickles and a shabby kitchen, watch her use modern culinary skills to set off a storm on the ancient world’s taste buds.
Xiao Yan, the richest man’s son, watches coldly from the sidelines, but is drawn in by her stubbornness and the radiance she shines with at the stove.
He shields her from hidden attacks and builds connections for her, only to be locked back in his cage by his family’s commands.
When she gets not his return, but news that he has married someone else, Shen Huaiyuan, the gentle and refined second young master of the Shen family in the capital, stands before her and says, “I’m in no hurry. I can wait.”
On one side is an old love etched into her heart; on the other, a new affection that runs deep and still.
As the red wedding veil falls, soup bubbles away on the stove.
In this life, she will not only defeat fate, but live as her own source of strength.
