share time: 2025-12-28 00:36:16

Su Xiaoman, a kitchen maid, is mistakenly chosen as Concubine Shu by Emperor Xiao Jingyan because of her "Jade and Emerald Soup". But she has no interest in competing for favor—she only wants to guard her little stove in the imperial kitchen to experiment with new dishes. The emperor, curious about this woman who "dares to refuse to serve him", sneaks a bite of her sweet and sour ribs, only to be chased around the kitchen by her with a spatula: "Thief! Stop stealing my freshly stewed soup again!" Amidst the schemes of other concubines and the emperor's relentless "dish-tasting harassment", Su Xiaoman wins over the Empress Dowager with braised pork and resolves a maid's conflict with hundred-flower cakes. But when she finally notices the emperor's gaze has shifted from "curiosity" to "warmth", she panics and drops the dough she's kneading: "I just wanted to cook—how did I end up kneading the emperor's heart into the dough too?"
