【Transmigrate into a Book, Raise a Child, 1v1】+【Born Without a Sense of Taste, Restrained and Proper, Jealous Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review × Modern Flavor-Savvy, Sharp-Tongued, Money-Grubbing, Lovestruck Young Widow】+【Extremely Protective, Unexpectedly Adorable Husband, Irresistible Food, Mutual Salvation】
Late at night, the Weizhi Eatery is alive with bubbling broth and boiling soup.
Pei Zhaoxue, the aloof and impeccably proper Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, should be above such behavior. But right now, he has locked the door and wrapped his arms tightly around Su Jianwei from behind as she seasons the soup. His cool nose brushes her neck, and his voice is hoarse with restraint. “My lady, this fish soup is too bitter. Why don't you let me taste the sweetness on your lips instead?”
After transmigrating as a widowed mother, Su Jianwei gets caught up in a county magistrate's murder-by-poison case from the start. With her special ability, the “Tongue of a Hundred Flavors,” she only wants to clear her name, open a shop, and make money. Who would have thought she'd attract this naturally tasteless, ruthless, taciturn, abstinent powerhouse?
In public, he's a cold-faced executioner, decisive and merciless, his gaze as sharp as a blade and indifferent to women. In private, he's not only a scheming, insanely jealous man who secretly takes down his romantic rivals, but also uses “living together to investigate the case” as an excuse to cling to her and beg for cuddles every night.
From testing for poison in court to pretending to be a married couple to solve a case, Su Jianwei watches the man who keeps burrowing into her arms and grits out, “Lord Pei, if you're investigating a case, then investigate. Why are you standing so close!”
He pulls her into his arms, his warm breath brushing her ear. “I want to investigate the case and spoil my wife. Both.”
