But when Jihoon Kang, the heir to a powerful chaebol empire steps into her restaurant by accident, his world is turned upside down. She's bold, unapologetically Nigerian, and completely unlike anyone he's ever met. As their worlds collide, so do cultures, expectations, and hearts. But can love truly bloom between a girl chasing flavor and a man bound by family duty? A story of food, fate, and falling in love where East meets West, and spice meets Seoul.
