The Concubine Just Wants to Cook, Not to Serve the Emperor Plot:

Su Wan, an unpopular talent in the harem, entered the palace solely to investigate the truth behind her father's wrongful death.

Her secret braised duck accidentally catches the attention of Emperor Xiao Jingyan, who is inspecting in disguise. Delighted by the taste, the emperor intends to summon her to his chambers, only to be rejected with, "The soup on the stove isn't done yet!" Amidst the sarcasm of other concubines and the emperor's growing interest, Su Wan must hide her investigation clues while clinging to her principle: "Only cooking, not serving." But when the emperor quietly helps her retrieve her father's old case files, she realizes that the "woman-indifferent" emperor has long sneaked into her kitchen... Oh wait, no—into her heart.
