She became the villain of a novel. And not just any villain, but one who committed several crimes and was expelled from her family! Having no other choice, she started selling food on the streets to survive... But, suddenly, she was kidnapped by the prince of the empire and the villain of the novel. “I want you to be my personal cook,” he said.
But why is he interested in me? After many twists and turns, she became the emperor's exclusive cook and followed a quiet but dull path... Until she discovered that her food had a special effect on people. A genius alchemist, a rival chef, a mysterious fox... Everyone fell in love with her food and with her. And, above all, the emperor, who was the supposed villain, was very kind and protective of her. But, she just wanted to cook in peace!
