The Pleasures of Food and Love: I'd Rather Be an Imperial Chef Than a Consort

[Genius Young Chef Heroine × Food-Loving Prince]

Shen Zhian, a modern chef renowned for her private-dining cuisine, dies in an explosion and transmigrates into Jiang Wanzhi, a concubine who died heartbroken in the cold palace of the Daye Dynasty.

She tears up the imperial edict appointing her a consort and vows to return to her old profession and make the finest food in the land.

From cooking over a small stove in the cold palace to taking charge of the imperial kitchen, she becomes entangled in a romance sparked by food with the emperor, Xiao Jingheng, and the prince, Xiao Jingxun.

In the end, she chooses to leave the palace and establish “Chang Xiang Nian,” giving up wealth and glory for the warmth of ordinary life.

And the one who truly understands her is waiting for her where the lights grow dim.
