[Historical Fantasy + Food + Household Intrigue + 1v1]

[Female Lead Is a Concubine's Maid Brought in to Bring Good Fortune x Heir with Reversed Taste]

A sharp pain struck the imperial chef's descendant, Pei Ruyi. When she opened her eyes, she had become a meek maid brought in as a concubine to bring good fortune!

Undaunted by her terrible start, she served up a bowl of Jade-and-White Fish Noodle Soup that immediately roused the long-comatose heir with its tempting aroma!

Soups, congee, and rice; cold appetizers and hot dishes; brined foods, sauces, and cured meats; grilled dishes and hot pot; cold drinks and warm infusions; desserts and salads...

One delicacy after another from past and present, all in the hope that the sickly heir would recover soon.

The marquis's household was a dangerous place. Her best bet was to leave with her freeborn status intact and become a proprietress.

Xiao Heng, heir to the Marquis of Yongning, had been a prodigy since childhood. But five years ago, a sudden attack of poison changed everything. Everything he ate tasted fishy, gamey, musty, or rotten, and he could barely swallow a bite.

Then the concubine's maid his mother had bought brought him a bowl of hot soup, awakening his senses and his appetite.

At first, he thought she was a spy holding the antidote. Later, he discovered that this little maid was not only a wonderful cook, but also utterly winsome.

He couldn't help moving closer, step by step, but she avoided him like a predator and only wanted to escape.

Watching the smiling proprietress Pei chat and laugh at the entrance to Zhiwei Restaurant, Xiao Heng gave a faint smile.

Want him to let go? Never in this lifetime!
