A cold, abstinent CEO and a famous food blogger
A goofy, sweet foodie romance
Childhood friends, mutual pining (2020.05.10)
Food blogger Shi Luo is a notorious bad-luck charm across the internet. The people around her face the following misfortunes:
Friend A's company goes bankrupt, and even after selling their car and mortgaging their home, they still owe over a hundred million.
Colleague B gets robbed sixteen times in a month. Even moldy bread isn't spared.
Buddy C keeps getting cheated on by girlfriends and is dubbed a human refuge for cheating boyfriends.
To protect her crush's life and property, Shi Luo has no choice but to keep her distance. Then, at the year-end business gala, she gets drunk and can't resist taking the hand she's grasped in her dreams a thousand times.
"Gu Ting, stop being my boss and be my husband instead, okay? It's only one word different!"
The lively room falls silent. Everyone knows Gu Ting comes from a prominent family, is handsome and refined, rarely smiles, and is ruthless in business. A mere internet celebrity who only knows how to cultivate an image would have to be looking for trouble to throw herself at him.
Mocking remarks about Shi Luo's lack of connections and delusions of grandeur immediately fill the room.
Yet, in full view of everyone, Gu Ting pulls her into his arms, carries her to the car, and heads straight for his villa in the suburbs.
The next day, sober and desperate to flee, Shi Luo climbs out an old garden window, only to come face-to-face with Gu Ting watering the dill by the window.
Gu Ting glances up. "You called me your husband and now you want to run?"
Shi Luo: "..."
#You probably won't believe me#
#But I'm really running away for your own good#

Later, Shi Luo starts livestreaming her everyday cooking.
Her fans suddenly notice that the living room across from the kitchen is packed with guests: business tycoons, a principal musician, renowned scholars, and scientific researchers.
As the fans stare in astonishment, the famously aloof CEO Gu Ting walks right into the kitchen and casually scoops some food from the pan into his mouth. "Sorry, I was just showing your aunt and uncle how to watch the livestream, and ended up sending you another million as a tip."
Shi Luo: "..."
If you keep eating, how am I supposed to keep livestreaming?
She can only push Gu Ting away. "You're blocking the camera."
Gu Ting shoots the camera a cold look.
"I heard someone thinks my wife has no connections."
"So today I've invited the elders of the Shi family over for dinner."
"Is this much of a background good enough for you?"
