The Food Tasting Records of the Dali Temple

As soon as Luo Qingling transmigrated, she found herself kneeling before her father's funeral altar. With an orphaned family, a widowed mother, and a life of poverty, she had no choice but to inherit her father's post.

She should have become a low-ranking clerk, but the Dali Temple had no precedent for female jailers. After a round of passing the buck, she ended up in the temple's kitchen, working as a cook.

Before long, the Dali Temple, known for its grim and chilling atmosphere, was suddenly filled with the enticing aroma of special dishes, to everyone's amazement.

In the past, officials from every department had wanted to stay as far away as possible from the Dali Temple, a grim place seen as an ill omen, so that people wouldn't suspect them of wrongdoing.

Then one day, the Censor-in-Chief, who was always berating the Dali Temple for its poor investigations, started showing up there again and again. The reason? A single steamed bun?

A steamed bun!!!???
