An Attic Opens Onto the Past: Ready Meals Take the World by Storm

[A sharp-tongued foodie heroine] VS [a sweet, scheming puppy-like leading man] Tongtong discovers that the attic of her restaurant actually connects to... ancient times!

People in the past, short on salt and oil, have never tasted delicacies like these: braised pork, Coca-Cola fried chicken, plum-glazed ribs, honey-glazed char siu... One modern dish after another leaves the ancients howling with hunger.

But what really gets him hooked isn’t the booming business or the mountains of money rolling in each day. It’s the little wife he married for three taels of silver, Yaoyao.

“Hubby, I’m hungry!”

“Is there anything you don’t eat, sweetheart?”

“I’ll eat anything but you~” She smiled sweetly, but her heart was racing out of control.

“You serve your customers premade food, but cook special dishes just for me. Aren’t you worried people will gossip?”

“With you in my heart, I have nothing to fear.”

He cooks, she serves. He flirts with her, and she blushes before biting back.

He guides her hand over hand as she learns to cook in the kitchen. Even feeding her a candied hawthorn skewer can turn into a kiss that leaves them melting into a puddle of springtime.

“Why are you so naughty?”

“I’m only naughty for Yaoyao.”

Delicious food heals the stomach; sweet romance heals the heart.

Years later, when he faces the woman who has reclaimed her true identity, he can sum it up in just two words: “You asked for it.”
