The moment Wen Sui arrived, she discovered that her status had changed from single to married.
But her days were easy, with meals and lodging covered, a monthly salary of ten taels, and a wealthy husband who was conveniently nowhere to be found most of the time.
The only downside was that the food was far too bland. It made her want to cut off all worldly attachments and become a nun.
Wen Sui could only draw on the basic instincts of a food lover: make her own delicious meals. Hot pot, barbecue, spicy skewers, cakes, bread, and sweet pastries: she’d make them all.
The Prince of Guangling’s residence was filled with delicious aromas every day, and its cold, gloomy atmosphere began to crumble.
Of course, as an excellent employee, Wen Sui didn’t forget to bring some warmth to her immediate superior.
The first day Pei Xuan received a food box: “Test it for poison, then throw it away.”
The second day Pei Xuan received a food box: “Test it for poison, then give it to you.”
The nth day Pei Xuan received a food box: “...Forget it. In light of her good intentions, I’ll have a bite.”
Mm... It’s delicious!

Pei Xuan once thought Wen Sui was an ant he had to crush on his way forward, and that his will was firm and unshakable.
Note: An everyday food story, with marriage before love and mutual healing. Both leads have very unhealthy views on relationships. The male lead has difficulty walking, but he gets better later.
