THE CEO’S SECRET SPICE
Wei Jia’s world is fire, flavor, and freedom. As the proud queen of a bustling night market, her wok is her sword and her dishes are her declaration of pride. But her fierce talent lands her in a world of trouble when she publicly humiliates the most powerful man in the culinary world.
“This isn’t cuisine. It’s a soulless chemical experiment that betrays our culture!”
Li Shiyan, the ruthless and devastatingly handsome CEO of Tianxia Food Group, doesn't get mad instead he gets even. With eyes as cold as ice, he delivers an ultimatum that shatters her world.
“Then prove you can do better or watch your family lose everything.”
Forced into an unwanted contract, the fiery street chef becomes the cold CEO's personal culinary consultant on his prestigious National Cuisine Project. Now, Wei Jia must survive in his soulless, corporate world, battling his cold logic and the elegant woman who has always been by his side.
Their clashes are explosive, and the words are their weapons.
“Cooking is about soul, not numbers,” she declares, slamming her ladle down.
“Then give me soul,” he whispers, invading her space. “Show me the taste I’ve been chasing all my life.”
Trapped in a cage, Wei Jia discovers that the line between hatred and obsession is dangerously thin. The man who she despises the most is also the only one who sees the real her.
But in a world of corporate intrigue and hidden agendas, their passion could be the very thing that destroys them both. When forced to choose between his empire and the woman who challenges his every rule, will Li Shiyan’s icy heart finally melt or will the flames of their desire consume everything in its path?
