A Bite of Sweet

share time: 2026-02-28 12:35:39

Su Xiaoman, the "sugar dregs girl" from the shabbiest candy shop in the capital, barely survives with her unique "bittersweet candy". She picks up a "down-and-out scholar" Gu Zhao—who is actually the young emperor investigating a palace poison case incognito. Gu Zhao stays to track the poison source, but is touched by Xiaoman's straightforward warmth. When he's poisoned and unconscious, Xiaoman takes out the "life-saving candy" hidden for over a decade: her parents were former hidden guards who protected Gu Zhao, and every candy in the shop holds the secret to saving him! When royal conspiracies collide with the deep love in sugar scent, Xiaoman helps Gu Zhao defuse the crisis and "counterattacks" into the emperor's most cherished "exclusive sugar master". Together, they guard the shop and turn the imperial power into the sweetest sugar.
