Well the concept is kinda okay, MC is a good cook, ML fell for her starting from liking her food. But what made me give a lower stars is just cuz the events and mobs’ reaction doesnt really match the timeline the MC in.She seems to be in ancient china with an emperor and jinyiwei (brocade guards). Ive read a couple of stories with this concept, where these guard is either the side of ‘good’ or side of ‘bad’ and even being in the gray side meaning neither good nor bad. But one thing is certain, they are the sharp sword of the emperor. They usually secretly spy or ‘audit’ officials and report directly to emperor. They aren’t just brute dogs the story make them out to be. But this really isn’t much of the turn off.The big disconnect was the unrealistic no big ‘shock’ from everyone that she just does business as a young woman. There’s was a substory about a woman gotten r@ped because of her looks but she with her ethereal looks just parades around outside with no repercussions, opens her own restaurant and even mans the store. Her friend QY, another substory, got mol*sted by another villian but after being saved she just pulls through and even became the spark to her lovelife. This isn’t a normal ancient times reaction. Would be more realistic if she committed su*cide or went to be a nun. Also villain got jailed 30 years as punishment, no this isn’t an ancient times punishment. Keeping people in jail for many years is detrimental to food stock. It’s either fees, exile, rod, or decapitate.No one has ever coveted her recipes, nobody from her family even wondered how she was able to cook good. She even recognizes the sea creatures? Where was her county before she became a refugee?i stopped by mid 90s, where she was kidnapped by hmm ‘oriML-before rebirth’. Then she followed ML to capital. It’s just so senseless to me. It felt forced. She just up and left her family, without being married, a single woman traveling in ancient c. If this was modern times sure why not. But gee nvm just dropped it
