She is a young cook in the Imperial Kitchen, with deft hands that can fry, stir-fry, braise, stew, simmer, steam, and boil with equal ease. No matter how ordinary the ingredients, she can turn them into exceptionally delicious dishes that leave you longing for more. After a palace coup, she is reborn as a hugely overweight woman who gets out of breath after three steps, and is put in charge of cooking for... a CEO with anorexia?
He is a cool, imposing CEO who controls a business empire and is said to have no interest in women. Perfectly handsome, yet afflicted with anorexia and thin as a sheet of paper, he finds every delicacy tasteless, until... he meets her. From then on, the CEO turns into a foodie, throws his dignity to the wind, and becomes a domineering husband who dotes on his wife.
In short, this is the story of a royal chef who is reborn, slims down and gets gorgeous, eats to her heart's content, and accidentally wins over a domineering CEO, who then spoils her rotten.
A few notes:
1. This novel is sweet and full of affection, with one couple from start to finish. The male lead is devoted to spoiling his wife for a hundred years.
2. The author makes a living handing out dog food. I break into sweet moments at the drop of a hat, and I start steamy scenes whenever I feel like it. That's just how I roll.
