Fu Xun Zhou, of noble birth, should have lived a life of luxury. However, he was harmed by a villain and developed a severe eating disorder. He left his hometown and lived in a small city, depressed and aimless, until he accidentally tasted the food from a small restaurant, which miraculously cured his disorder! Fu Xun Zhou seeks out the owner, only to find that not only is her cooking superb, but her appearance and personality also captivate him. Even more amazingly, she gave him a free dish on their first meeting! Fu Xun Zhou remains calm, thinking, "Such a kind and beautiful person offering him free delicious food, could she have feelings for him?"

"Our store's limited-time offer for new customers: Get a free dish upon entry!" Fu Xun Zhou: …?
