The Spoiled Prince's Mind-Reading Chef

Shen Zhiyi, a modern food blogger, unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of a concubine-born daughter from a declining merchant family and becomes the Prince of Jin's secondary wife, forced into marriage in someone else's place.

Her birth mother died young, and she was unloved from childhood. Her stepmother sees her as a thorn in her side, and her elder sister often abuses her. Her father not only turns a blind eye, but sends her to the prince's residence as a concubine to curry favor with the powerful.

Once inside, Shen Zhiyi discovers that Prince Xiao Yan is a complete wastrel, spending his days on cockfighting and dog racing, squandering money, and neglecting his studies. No wonder her elder sister refused to marry him at any cost.

What's more, no one in the prince's household is easy to deal with. On her very first day there, Shen Zhiyi nearly goes hungry.

Luckily, she has excellent cooking skills. Greens with sliced meat, chicken congee, lotus pastries... In her hands, even the most ordinary ingredients can become miracles.

Before long, the maids and matrons in the household, along with the other secondary wives who were also sent there as concubines, are all eyeing Shen Zhiyi's kitchen.

She's no helpless, useless daughter of a concubine!
