Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'substitute bride' trope (替嫁) has deep roots in Chinese literature, often allowing lower-class heroines to outwit aristocratic systems. Fang Yishao flips this by being genuinely skilled rather than merely lucky.
The series was adapted from a web novel where food descriptions ran pages long—director Li Xiaojiang reportedly taste-tested every dish on set.
