After being unemployed for three months, Xia Yingfu unexpectedly inherits her grandmother's traditional osmanthus honey dessert shop after her grandmother passes away.
The shop has gone out of business and fallen into disrepair. All her grandmother left behind was a recipe for traditional osmanthus honey.
She'd planned to sell the place and go back to loafing around at home.
...But the memory of her grandmother's dry hands and the scent of osmanthus kept appearing in her dreams.
"Who still eats old-fashioned osmanthus honey these days? It's been out of style for ages. No wonder the shop went under."
Holding the recipe her grandmother had left behind, Xia Yingfu suddenly felt like making a bold decision.
She would reopen the shop and run it properly.
Getting the business back on its feet wouldn't be easy.
Especially since an annoying man kept coming into the shop every day, ordering a bowl of osmanthus honey and sesame paste without fail. He'd say "It's awful" with a blank expression, then show up again the very next day to order it without fail.
Xia Yingfu was so annoyed she could grind her teeth, but every day she still had to serve it to him, seething with resentment.
"Shen Du, I really can't understand what's going on in your head."
Shen Du murmured, "Mm," as he stirred his sesame paste unhurriedly, amusement showing in his phoenix eyes.
"I'm your only customer. Shouldn't you be treating me like royalty?"
