Synopsis

[Everyday Romance] [One Female Lead]

Chen Xingjian had only two requirements for life: eat well and take it easy.

While everyone else was busy chasing success, his biggest worry was whether to braise or stew tonight’s ribs. His dream was simple: find a wife who could earn enough to support the family, then settle down as a househusband.

That all changed the day he carried over a bowl of plain congee and, on impulse, rescued the neighbor across the hall, who was doubled over with a bout of gastroenteritis after going hungry. She was Lin Jiying, the icy school beauty from his university.

At school, she was a cold, brilliant student who kept everyone at arm’s length.

Online, she was a cute streamer who never showed her face.

At his dinner table, she became a foodie with absolutely no life skills, willing to shamelessly wheedle for one more piece of sweet-and-sour ribs.

“One serving of West Lake vinegar fish, and I’ll be your meal-plan subscriber for the week.”

“Pay extra. This is hard work.”

A laid-back guy with maxed-out cooking skills, and a foodie girl who talked tough but had a soft heart.

There was nothing grand or dramatic about their love, just the cozy warmth of everyday life rising through their two-bedroom apartment, and the quiet comfort that filled them both over countless dinners at the same table.
