[Gentle yet resilient inheritor of flower cuisine × aloof, taciturn physician who fiercely protects his own]
Exiled to a living hell from the start?
Her family destroyed, penniless, surrounded by cruel bullies and deadly poisonous flowers?
Mu Niannian turned around and pulled out her family heirloom, the Hundred Flowers Cookbook.
What others saw as deadly poisonous weeds, she turned into crisp, fragrant hibiscus pancakes.
What others saw as worthless weeds and rotten leaves, she simmered into medicinal fleeceflower root porridge said to cure every ailment.
From setting up a street stall to sell pancakes, to taking over an inn, then opening overseas spice routes, she transformed this barren land into an “exile’s paradise” that the whole world could only dream of reaching!
But why was the former Imperial Physician next door, who coughed every day as if he were about to breathe his last, looking at her more and more strangely?
At first, the two of them kept their guard up around each other.
Song Yan gripped a poisoned needle, his eyes wary. “Stay away from me. Don’t get any ideas.”
Later, when the village bully dared set his sights on Mu Niannian’s eatery, Song Yan worked out the medicinal theory overnight, sent the man straight to prison, and even tore the roof off his house along the way.
Mu Niannian watched the man quietly take blows for her, repair her house, and guard her courtyard. “Physician Song, wasn’t our deal to live together and stay out of each other’s business?”
Song Yan backed her into a corner, the edges of his eyes red, his voice hoarse but firm. “Living together… isn’t that supposed to be for life?”
[Highlights]
Grounded farming and food, with no System and a focus on real skills! Cooking with flowers, where food and medicine share the same roots.
An immensely satisfying comeback: from a penniless exile to a food-and-medicine mogul who controls Lingnan’s trade routes.
A sweet romance of mutual healing: both leads are brilliant, with eight hundred schemes between them, all to keep you safe. He isn’t good with words, but turns all his affection and tenderness into action.
