Just after joining the International Royal Chefs Association and earning its CCC Gold Medal, Han Yinuo transmigrates into the body of Lin Yishu, the capital's most lovestruck and notorious spendthrift, a chancellor's daughter. The spoiled young lady transforms into an icy beauty and dazzles at a palace banquet. How many people will she amaze, and whose heart will she win?!
Her family is full of horrid people.
Her grandmother is vicious, her concubine stepmother is devious, her elder sister pretends to be a virtuous white lotus, and her younger sister is as scheming as they come!
Open and hidden attacks, aphrodisiacs and deadly poisons, plots and counterplots!
And a scumbag comes calling!
But she has eyes only for her recipes.
All she wants is to perfect her cooking and live a peaceful, leisurely life in the countryside.
But things never go according to plan. One by one, they scheme to drag her into the glittering, chaotic world beyond...
She enters the palace as a royal chef and takes part in a cooking competition, all to win eighteen golden cooking utensils and save the family of her grandfather from her past life, the only place where she ever felt the warmth of family.
What?! The Empress Dowager has set the challenge: three fish dishes and three rice dishes?
Easy! Fish: Sichuan boiled fish, stone pot fish, and tomato fish!
And rice? Bamboo tube rice, eight-treasure rice, and pork rib rice!
The Japanese? Looking for a cooking challenge? I'll beat you at your own game!
The Koreans? You want to make Korean food? I love it!
The Westerners? Western food with red wine is pretty great!
Still, a few troublemakers always come along to disrupt her peaceful life in the kitchen.
Poisoning? Assassination? What did she ever do to you people?!
Scene One
A woman in red slowly enters the wedding hall and offers the bride and groom a quiet congratulations.
A man in red, dressed to make a statement, arrives late and looks at the groom with a blank expression. “Congratulations.”
The woman looks up at the man, also dressed in red, and murmurs, “You devil.”
The stone-faced man looks at her. “Likewise.”
Everyone in the wedding hall turns to stare at the pair who arrived late.
The bride and groom rub their temples helplessly. Whose wedding is this, anyway?!
Scene Two
A man looks at the stubborn woman before him. “Why are you so set on getting those broken-down cooking utensils?”
She lowers her eyes. “To save someone.”
“I’m a miracle doctor. Is there anyone I can’t save? Do you really need those junky things?” he says, still expressionless.
“They’re in the imperial prison,” she replies calmly.
The man turns and heads toward the prison.
She hurriedly grabs him. “What are you going to do?”
“Break them out,” he says coolly.
She lowers her eyes. “Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
His stony expression softens, his eyes full of affection. “So what if I am? If you wanted the whole world, I’d conquer it for you. If I become king, you’ll be my queen.”
She looks up at him. “I love food.”
He flashes a wicked smile. “I’m pretty delicious myself. Come have a taste.”
She breaks into a sweat. “Shameless!”
Scene Three
“What are you doing?” The woman frowns at the man who has pulled her out of the kitchen.
He looks at her without expression. “That foreigner keeps staring at you.”
She sighs. “We’re just exchanging cooking techniques.”
He remains stone-faced. “He’s still looking at you.”
On the verge of losing her temper, she grits her teeth. “What do you want?!”
A wicked smile appears on his otherwise expressionless face. “Bring me along to exchange techniques.”
She wipes her brow, waves the white flag, and takes him along.
This novel is packed with delicious food. Foodies, come on in!
