Summary
After the death of his beloved sister Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng embarks on a career as a food critic, unconsciously trying to find in the dishes he tastes that flavor that only she could give. His severity and fame spread quickly throughout China, making him a respected and feared figure in haute cuisine. But despite his reputation, Jiang Cheng is never satisfied: every dish he reviews seems to lack that special ingredient that his sister infused into her meals, a quality he can never replicate. "Can a dish bring back what has been lost?" this search pushes him further and further away from the home he once knew.
Lan Xichen, a talented chef and owner of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Suzhou, is renowned for his elegant, minimalist cuisine, transforming traditional Chinese flavors into modern works of art. Despite success and fame, Lan Xichen asks himself: "How much of ourselves can we put on a plate to make ourselves understood?". His cuisine is an expression of himself, but it doesn't always find the recognition he seeks, especially from critics like Jiang Cheng.
Their meeting becomes a mutual challenge, where each tries to answer the other question: can a dish truly express what it carries inside?

Summary
It was a well known fact that Sect Leader Yu was a practitioner of powerful magic. It wasn't Demonic Cultivation, but it wasn't natural either. Her abilities were said to be twisted and monstrous. Either way, it didn’t fare well for Jiang Cheng. There was no doubt in his mind that she could literally do anything to him.
The sound of her footsteps echoed in his ears as she started towards him, crossing the few steps that stood between them. Raising a hand, she reached out to take his face into her hands, forcing him to meet her cold gaze that was so much like his mother’s that it gave him goosebumps.
“You will give this sect an heir,” she ordered. “If not through a wife, then I will have you bear an heir yourself.”

Summary
“Are you soldiers forbidden to speak too? That should be a crime,” apparently, the guy makes a lot of bad jokes. He looks around a bit more, and scans Lan Wangji’s entire body from head to toe, lingering a little on his face. Finally, he sighs and turns away.
"Right. So, I’m gonna go,” he turns his head so he can wink at the other. How daring! "See you later, soldier who doesn’t speak."
When the boy finally disappears from sight, the soldier swallows hard, letting out the breath he didn't even know he was holding. How inconvenient. Thankfully, he's already gone, and after being ignored, he's clearly not coming back.
Except that Lan Wangji’s assumption is completely wrong.

Summary
Someone was petting him, whilst he was asleep on their lap. Something he had experienced only when he was tiny, cradled safely on his Shijie’s lap, as she pet his hair until he fell asleep. Such unbridled affection was shown to him only until he was grown enough to barely form memories, and with that, he couldn’t help but groan softly. “Wanyin” a voice, a deeper one, that could no way be his Shijie’s, whispered above him.
His body went rigid, but the hands, the soft fingers did not move away from his forehead. He opened his eyes and saw. The fire had burned to soft soothing embers and was lighting the face of the man he was cradled upon. His heart stopped, as he saw Lan Xichen smile down at him, his face almost sparkling with the warmth his eyes held. All directed at him, towards him. He didn’t raise, but his arm did. He let them move up and touch. A palm reaching to cup the face of the man he had wanted to touch for so long
“Lan Huan”.
“Wanyin”Lan Xichen breathed, eyes closing involuntarily, and sighing as he leaned into the touch; like he welcomed it, wanted it.
He let his thumb graze sharp cheekbones, fingers gently wrapping around the most beautiful neck he had ever seen in his existence.
