Synopsis
Although Ling Xiaoxiao is just an ordinary cook, she has always aspired to become the best imperial chef in the world. She later enters the Zhenxiu Room in the palace after gaining the Crown Prince Zhu Shoukuai's appreciation.
Life in the palace is fraught with hidden dangers, unlike life among common folk. Fortunately, Crown Prince Zhu Shoukuai secretly helps her, resolving threats from Prince Jin, the Empress, and other forces several times.
As they spend time together, Ling Xiaoxiao and the Crown Prince gradually fall in love. Although their relationship faces no direct obstacles, she is ordered not to go near the kitchen anymore, as she is destined to become the future Crown Princess.
After much deliberation, Ling Xiaoxiao decides she cannot abandon her dream for love, so she gives up the position of Crown Princess and chooses to leave the palace to continue her work as a cook. After Ling Xiaoxiao's departure, Crown Prince Zhu Shoukuai loses his appetite and eventually abdicates the throne, faking his death to escape the palace and return to Ling Xiaoxiao's side.
