Song Bao'er is lazy and pampered. She never stuck with any of her jobs after graduation, and now she hangs around doing odd jobs at her grandpa's malatang shop, eating, drinking, and having fun.
The bad news: She transmigrated into a book!
She landed in a novel about the rise of a legendary business tycoon.
She became Peng Lan, a bride in an arranged marriage. Her groom, Lu Zheng, the novel's protagonist, whom she had never met, was nowhere to be found.
The good news: Her grandpa transmigrated into the book too!
He became the chef in charge of the wedding banquet. Still a chef, but now a young chef instead of an old one, returned from an old man to the prime of his life.
She was overjoyed. She had no interest in getting married; she just wanted to mooch off her grandpa.
It was the early 1990s. X Wenxiang, X Guofu, and X Liang hadn't made it big yet.
So Master Song's Malatang was going to be the next big thing!!!

Not long after the first shop opened, a tall, broad-shouldered man walked in on a cold winter night.
Snow and frost clung to him, and cold radiated from his whole being as he took a seat at a small table in the corner.
She walked over, met his icy gaze, and saw his devastatingly handsome face.
A little afraid of him, and even more captivated, she asked, "Big brother, would you like a bowl of malatang?"

At twenty-seven, Lu Zheng was devoted to building his career, and resolutely fled his wedding to go work elsewhere.
When he returned, he wanted to apologize to Peng Lan in person. After all, he'd abandoned her. But he learned that on the very night he'd run away from their wedding, she had run away too, eloping with a chef!
He saw her for the first time in the little shop.
When she smiled, her eyes sparkled. Her pretty face was fair with a rosy blush, like a sweet, tender, juicy peach.
He wanted so badly to take a bite...
That chef was plain and honest, yet shamelessly called her "Bao'er" and acted as if they were intimate.
He regretted it. He was jealous. He was furious! With one hand, he snapped the chopsticks he was holding in two.
He swore he would win her back and make sure that malatang shop couldn't stay in business!
