Delicacies Destiny

Ling Xiaoxiao, who has made herself a name as a chef, leaves her restaurant in pursuit of her dream of becoming the Top Imperial Chef; meanwhile, the Imperial Palace desperately searches for a chef who can satisfy the Crown Prince's palate.

As Ling Xiaoxiao was wandering the streets, Crown Prince's Chief Eunuch, Zheng Li, appeared before her and told her that the Crown Prince wanted her back; as it turned out after he had tasted the wrapped rice, he immediately fell in love with it.

Ling Xiaoxiao's dish was a success, yet it couldn't break down the barrier among the brothers until she convinced the Crown Prince to tell the truth.

Ling Xiaoxiao's crab roe still arrived on the table, but one of the officials who had previously worked in the south discovered that the dish wasn't made of real crab, much to the embarrassment of the Emperor.

Noble Consort Li's willfulness annoyed the Empress, who always obediently followed the rules; the Emperor attempted to mediate but only became enraged; as a result, the Empress imposed a no-meat rule in the palace and would leave to pray for him.

Ling Xiaoxiao sees through Noble Consort Li's scheme; when the truth is revealed, Li is imprisoned; a skilled chef, Lu Yunzhou, goes to the Crown Prince's kitchen and bullies the staff; Ling Xiaoxiao challenges Lu Yunzhou to a competition.
