Su Yan, a Michelin-starred chef of the 21st century, transmigrated into the body of a tavern cook in the Great Zhao Dynasty after a surgical accident. She was also forced to bind herself to a Chef God System, which required her to take over Yuzhen Restaurant, which had already gone out of business.
Other people's transmigration Systems: power, money, connections
Her own System: Hurry up and make money, open a restaurant, and build a career!
She makes a little money selling bowls of vegetarian Guanyin noodles at a street stall, and meets Yan Chuan, an official's young master who claims his family kicked him out.
"I have no money, but I've got a great body. Please take me in, Miss Su."
Su Yan shuts her eyes and grits her teeth as she agrees to take on this free laborer.
After all, there are only two things Su Yan can't resist in this life: cooking and handsome men.
After being robbed, having her stall overturned, and being slandered, she has no choice but to roll up her sleeves and work hard to survive and grow stronger. She starts with a roadside stall, gradually building up her capital and restoring the restaurant.
Guanyin noodles, fried chicken, black pepper pork pasta, salted egg yolk wontons...
One novel dish after another leaves the people of the capital desperate for a taste.
Just as business at Yuzhen Restaurant is booming, Yan Chuan mysteriously disappears.
Su Yan searches with all her might, only to receive an imperial decree naming her empress.
She enters the palace anxiously, prepared to defy the decree. When she looks up, she sees a familiar face...
The current emperor is none other than her little sidekick, Yan Chuan.
Su Yan nearly faints.
"I actually had His Majesty working for me under the table all this time!?"
Yan Chuan: "What are you saying, Your Majesty? I enjoyed every minute of it."
