Love, Sucess and Palace Intrigue for this Cinderella Chef
The book's titular main character Ye Jiayao is a renowned chef who accidentally dies and gets transported to ancient China, her soul entering the body of Ye Jinxuan, first daughter of the Ye family who is about to be wed to the Wei family heir. But on the way, she is kidnapped by bandits and forced to marry one of the young masters in their gang. The young master, Xia Chunyu, takes her, unwillingly. At first, they butt heads but before long they begin to coexist peacefully, living as a true married couple. However, Xia Chunyu is not who he appears to be. When Jiayao discovers the truth, she escapes amidst the ongoing turmoil and decides to make it on her own with her skills. Her modern knowledge puts her leagues above others in the kitchen and in business. Her fame attracts both friends and enemies. It also attracts the attention of Xia Chunyu who has been investigating her past.
I read this after watching the animation and was surprised by how different it was. One small thing I didn't like in the animation was how smooth and fairytale-like Jiayao's journey was. In the book, you can read a lot more of her struggles, which I think, add a lot more depth and drama to the story. A lot of readers dislike this book because of "rape" triggers but I think they were quite mild and very much in tune with the culture and time period of this story. It is, at the root, a story of a couple who love each other and support each other despite many many barriers.
As far as transmigration stories go, this could actually go in my top 10. There is depth and complexity in the story but what makes it really special are the details in the story and the main characters. Chunyu has the mindset of a man in modern times. Although he can be unreasonably jealous and petty, he never does anything too unforgivable, and his love and loyalty are real. He also does learn from his mistakes and comes out looking like husband-of-the-year in the end. Jiayao, is one of my favorite characters of all time. She's smart, firm, and decisive but also kind and generous. Unlike other stories, instead of insta-karmic and face-slapping endings for her enemies, she tries to find a way to mend their ways so that everyone can have some semblance of happiness. Some are saved while others aren't. She's never stupid about her kindness and knows when to draw the line.
The author also should receive kudos for her research. There's a great deal of detail in the cooking and business aspects of the story as well as the palace intrigue. Not to the level of being boring but enough that you become immersed and can't help but admire the cleverness of the main character's schemes and the ploys of her enemies.
I really liked this. I only wish there was a better English translation. If an official one does come out, I will be reading this again.
