A small-town restaurant owner suddenly finds herself transformed into the daughter of the Left Chancellor's household in the capital. She thought she'd been handed the script for The Chancellor's Daughter, but it turns out she's in The Third Bride in Her Place.
When Zuo Xun learns she's to be married to the violent Seventh Prince, whose face was disfigured, she wants no part of it.
To escape the marriage, she flees the Chancellor's residence, outwits its vile inhabitants, and uses The Dynasty on the Tip of Your Tongue, a cookbook her adoptive father left behind, to open a restaurant chain in the capital.
Before they meet:
Zuo Xun: Marry that hideous, disfigured hothead? I'd rather starve to death, leave this awful Chancellor's residence, and find work as a cook in some restaurant than marry that ugly man.
Yu Ci: I hear the Left Chancellor has found some country girl to marry me? Is this how the emperor humiliates me? I'd rather die in battle, die after being framed, or get poisoned while eating than marry that bumpkin.
After they meet:
Zuo Xun: This pretty boy is so handsome. I like him.
Yu Ci: This little girl cooks so well. I need to figure out how to bring her home.
Zuo Xun and Yu Ci: She's irresistible!
A quirky foodie and a picky, fussy Seventh Prince who hates eating
Theme: Don't mistake a foodie for a mere cook.
