A Beauty of Good Taste

Yu You arrives at the Qinyuanchun Restaurant with dreams and ambitions, ready to make her mark. By a ridiculous mix-up, she discovers that the only job she landed is as a dishwasher. Fine. Even if she's only washing dishes, she'll be the most dazzling one in the washroom. It doesn't take long for everyone to discover that the new girl doesn't just wash dishes well. She can gut eels and kill softshell turtles, too, with practiced hands and swift knife work. No matter how difficult an ingredient is to prepare, it behaves itself in her hands. Later, her excellent cooking dazzles everyone at the staff cooking competition. Are dishwashers trying to steal the head chef's job now? Everyone trembles with fear while losing themselves in the temptation of the food. The restaurant's BOSS, usually a hands-off manager, has been showing up more and more often lately... Rumor has it the big boss has his eye on one of the young women at the front desk. Then someone catches him in the kitchen, holding the head chef by the waist and pinning her against a cupboard. The truth is out. Many years later. A TV host interviews her: How did you go from dishwasher to a three-Michelin-star chef? Yu You smiles faintly: Behind every successful female chef is a man with a picky palate and a sharp tongue. A certain someone beams with pride: I'm that man. #Nothing can compare to how beautiful you look in your chef's uniform# A hardworking, Forrest Gump-like little chef VS a cold, expressionless restaurant boss with an extremely discerning palate A real-life Chinese culinary master An inspirational story focused on her career (emphasis added by hand), with romance on the side. A slow-burn, lightly sweet account of a three-Michelin-star chef's rise. Coming soon: The Demon Lord Comes Knocking with a Child After Losing His Memories Synopsis: Fang Yao, senior sister of the Lingxiao Sect, is a swordsmanship prodigy. Disciplined and courteous, with an unblemished reputation, she is the unattainable moonlight in the eyes of countless disciples. The most outrageous thing she has ever done was wander into the depths of an ancient ruin seven years ago and lose three whole years of her memories. One day, a young man arrives at the Lingxiao Palace with two children barely reaching his knees, asking for the children's mother. When Fang Yao sees their faces, identical to hers as if they had been made from the same mold, the hand holding her sword trembles. For the first time in her life, she drops it. - The entire sect is buzzing with gossip, and even the sect leader comes out of seclusion early because of the matter. As luck would have it, the Lingxiao Sect is holding its disciple selection and spiritual-root testing that very day. The sect leader tests the two children as well. The boy turns out to have an exceptional single spiritual root, while the girl has a rare Profound Yin Physique. Overjoyed, the sect leader rushes to claim the two children as his disciples' grand-students. Fang Yao can't accept the fact that she fell for an ordinary mortal man and somehow became a mother. After a long silence, she asks the man sitting quietly beside her, “How about we each take one?” The man glances up at her with phoenix eyes and says softly, “The children are used to being with me. They'll cry at night if I'm not by their side.” From then on, the man and the two children refuse to leave the Lingxiao Sect. - Fang Yao is at her wits' end. All she knows is how to practice the sword; no one has ever taught her how to raise children. Fortunately, the mortal man does his duty as a husband, and several of her junior brothers and sisters take turns helping with the children. She teaches swordsmanship, her second junior brother teaches formations, her third junior sister teaches alchemy, and her youngest junior brother teaches calligraphy. Before long, the junior brothers and sisters all say they can't teach them anymore. Fang Yao asks why, and they say, “They've already learned everything.” “They even know how to apply what they've learned.” “It's a little hard on our self-esteem.” “...” In a quiet corner, the little one secretly tugs at her mortal father's sleeve, eyes brimming with tears. “Daddy, when can my brother and I go back to the Demon Palace? I can barely hide my tail anymore...” Theme: Promote traditional Chinese cuisine and make everyone who clicks in drool.
