A thirty-year-old Michelin-starred, macho chef transmigrates into the body of a delicate, abandoned consort who tried to drown herself in a well!
Palace intrigue and fighting for favor? Lu Zheng gives a cold laugh and grabs a spatula. "I'm only interested in tossing a wok!"
With maxed-out cooking skills and a straightforward man's way of thinking, he turns the palace's treacherous battlefield into his own culinary empire, crushing the competition with a whole new approach.
The Empress Dowager backs him to the hilt over a bowl of lotus seed soup, and the head of the imperial kitchen weeps and begs to become his apprentice. A scheming favored consort secretly trips him up, only to be overwhelmed by the fragrance of his peerless Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, then publicly humiliated in a spectacular face-slapping!
He thinks he can keep his head down, cook, and safely make it out of the palace. But the originally cold and suspicious, scheming tyrant not only sneaks over in disguise every night for a meal, he also starts looking at him with an increasingly smitten gaze.
Late at night, the tyrant pins him against the worktable in the imperial kitchen, his voice husky. "My beloved consort, between this vast empire and me, which one are you planning to eat first tonight?"
