Lu Wan transmigrates into an ancient romance novel, becoming a young farm girl who is doomed to be cannon fodder early on.
Her fate takes an unexpected turn.
One night, her gambling-addict father carries home a badly wounded man of remarkable status.
Madam Li keeps telling her to seize this heaven-sent opportunity, while her cousin pretends to be gentle and secretly claims credit for saving the man's life.
Everyone else is focused on power and status. Lu Wan only cares about her humble kitchen.
With no delicacies, she turns simple ingredients into a feast of flavors. With no one to rely on, she protects herself with the warmth of the hearth.
So why does the prince, who should be cold and heartless, keep hanging around her stove?
