Modern street-food vendor Su Qingyan dies suddenly and transmigrates into the body of a disgraced official's daughter, banished to a mountain village.
With nothing to her name and nowhere to turn, she finds a loving mother and father and a sweet younger brother, binds herself to a Gourmet System, and gets a second chance at life.
From setting up a stall at the village entrance to opening Qingyan House, a restaurant famous throughout the region,
her brilliant fusion of ancient and modern cooking dazzles diners, helps her reconnect with old acquaintances, and lets her investigate a wrongful conviction in secret.
She happens to meet Crown Prince Li Chengzhao, traveling incognito. He tastes her cooking and gives her his heart. Deeply devoted, he is willing to abandon his empire and live in seclusion with her.
When the wrongful conviction is finally overturned, the emperor recognizes her talent and wants to appoint her as a female official and arrange her marriage to the crown prince.
Everyone envies her, and the whole world waits to see what happens.
But Su Qingyan is clear-headed and decisive: I want to go home and keep running my food stall.
