After being saved by Meng Yu Huai, who heads a mercenary agency, in the hills behind the Huodao village where she has just moved in to stay with her elder sister. Hua Xiao Mai falls in love. She does her best to attract his attention but he just doesn’t get her feelings. But as Xiao Mai shows her intelligence, her culinary skills and her boldness in professing her love for him, he slowly realizes he will not be able to escape from her. But success in love is not her only ambition, her goal in life was to show the world that any edible food can be delicious if made properly.

Haha I loved seeing everyone fight over her food. It was so funny.
Sigh, I knew Rong was sketch. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt a couple episodes ago. I was really hoping she was genuine. But luckily Xiao Mai is no idiot!
I love her sister. Get ’em, girls!!

I am so into this series. I liked both the female lead and the male lead from the start which is unusual for me. So nice to see a girl take some initiative and have goals in life. Also, the male lead is quiet but charming and kind. Their interactions make my heart melt. Thank you so much for subbing!
