★ A clash of ice and fire | Food and everyday life | Ancient soul in the modern world | Running a business | Street food stall
A Tang dynasty imperial chef: a sweet, sunny young woman with a painfully oblivious streak vs. a modern-day police officer: a cool, aloof guy, a poker-faced ice cube with a secret passionate side
Luo Yan was a female official in the Imperial Food Bureau of the Tang palace. Her Luo family cooking was so exquisite that everyone in the palace praised her.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become an unemployed, down-on-her-luck woman in the modern world: her parents were gone, she was drowning in debt, her rent was due, and she had less money in her pockets than she had skin on her face.
But that was all right. With her skills, she’d never go hungry, wherever she ended up.
After much effort, she got her hands on a secondhand food cart and set up a “Tang Dynasty Snack Stall.”
Before long, the entire food street went wild. People lined up early in the morning, before she’d even opened, just to get a taste of “Cherry Biluos.” Her new “Flower-Through Rice Cakes” were both delicious and beautiful, drawing even food bloggers from far and wide.
Luo Yan: This is nothing. She still has su shan, flower-shaped pastries, rice brocade, and plenty of other snacks she hasn’t put on the menu yet.
The cart became a storefront, and the storefront became a standalone building. Her account balance went from two digits to seven.
Her business was booming.
The only thing that gave her a headache was the uniformed man who hung around her stall every single day.
Hey, you only arrested me once. Why are you keeping watch over my stall every day now?

Yan Xu, head of the criminal investigation squad and the iron-faced King of Hell in the eyes of his entire team.
At some point, he started going to the food street every day. All kinds of little snacks began appearing on his desk, too.
Sweet and savory, they were all from that Tang Dynasty snack stall.
The people on his team: Heh heh.

Later, when CCTV’s Inheritance of Flavor came to interview her, they asked Luo Yan how she could perfectly recreate flavors from a thousand years ago.
She smiled at the camera. “Maybe it’s because I was a Tang dynasty person in my previous life.”
In front of the television, Yan Xu touched the pocket holding the scrap of paper where she had casually jotted down a secret recipe. The handwriting seemed to carry the elegance of a thousand years ago.
Never mind. He wouldn’t call her out. Besides, in this life, he was sticking around for her cooking.
Content notes:
1. The foods in this novel have been carefully researched through archaeological sources. For the sake of the story, they’ll be tastier than their modern counterparts. No arguments accepted.
2. Both leads are each other’s first and only partners. Their romance is puppy love, and no one will force them into a relationship. This is a slow-burn story.
3. Modern technology is too advanced, so the heroine’s soul has transmigrated into a modern body.
4. I’ll add more if anything else comes to mind.
----- Coming soon: The Online Scam That Went Wrong for Kitty -----
An animal-world series featuring a three-colored cat spirit.
In a nutshell: She’s noisy and unruly, while he’s quiet and a little unhinged.
Miao Yawen was a lazy foodie who didn’t want to find a job after graduating, so she followed the crowd and started streaming on her phone.
She showed her real form on camera and became a famous animal streamer on the internet’s Flying Platform.
Then one day, her top donor sent her a private message, offering a million yuan to buy her cat.
Miao Yawen saw the money and lost her head. Without telling her parents, she sold herself outright.
During the day, the big shot went to work, and she secretly streamed from his home.
At night, when he came back, she acted cute and fawned on her “sugar daddy.”
Human by day, kitty by night: two jobs, and money rolling in from both.
Until one day, the big shot came home early...
Who are you?
Why are you in my house?
Where’s my cat?
No, wait, big shot, let me explain...
Please add this to your favorites!
Theme: Look ahead and keep moving forward with a smile.
