This is the beginning of a battle of wits, endurance, and perseverance.

This episode highlights the start of palace intrigues and power plays, showcased through the sharp, steadfast personalities of the senior palace servants. It also teases the distinct missions and intentions of our three aspiring imperial servants.What stood out most, however, was the female lead's deliberate actions to catch the male lead's attention—it is no wonder she was punished so quickly, as the Directress most likely saw right through her.

I'm captivated by the presentation and symbolism of the cuisines. Looks promising!

What a feast to see Wu Jinyan & Wang Churan in the same culinary drama. I also feel glad to see He Rui Xian here. My biggest take though is that Ming attire doesn't do Xu Kai much justice. I feel like he look way better in Xianxia costumes and contemporary attires. That said, one thing is for sure though...no one beats him in Qing dynasty get up.
