Di balik dapur yang dipenuhi cahaya hangat dan aroma mentega yang perlahan mencair di atas wajan, Anongnart Phongphattanakulchai, atau yang lebih dikenal sebagai Nine, percaya pada satu hal sederhana: setiap orang berhak memiliki hidangan yang terasa seperti rumah. Bertahun-tahun ia mengasah kemampuannya di dapur-dapur terbaik Paris, hingga akhirnya meraih penghargaan Michelin Star yang diimpikan banyak chef. Namun, setelah semua pencapaian itu, Nine justru memilih kembali ke Bangkok untuk membuka restoran bernama Lumiere, tempat di mana setiap hidangan dirancang seolah dibuat hanya untuk satu orang di dunia. Di sisi lain, Sarachatawee Van Rijn, atau Sasi Van Rijn, adalah nama besar di industri hiburan. Model berdarah Thailand–Belanda itu kerap berjalan di runway internasional, menghiasi billboard raksasa, dan bahkan mulai menaklukkan layar lebar. Namun di balik gemerlap lampu kamera, hidup Sasi jauh lebih rumit daripada yang terlihat. Tubuhnya menolak banyak hal: sayuran yang terkena pestisida, nanas, kacang-kacangan, pemanis buatan, bahkan beberapa sumber protein seperti seafood. Makan di restoran sering kali berubah menjadi pengalaman menegangkan, seolah setiap piring bisa menjadi ancaman. Takdir mempertemukan mereka ketika seorang produser film mengajak Sasi makan malam di Lumiere. Restoran itu terkenal bukan hanya karena rasa makanannya, tetapi karena reputasi Nine yang mampu memahami selera tamu-tamunya seperti membaca rahasia yang tersembunyi di balik senyuman mereka. Namun bagi Nine, Sasi adalah pelanggan paling menantang yang pernah ia temui—daftar alerginya begitu panjang hingga hampir seluruh menu restoran menjadi mustahil untuk disajikan. Alih-alih menyerah, Nine justru menciptakan hidangan baru khusus untuknya. Malam itu, untuk pertama kalinya setelah bertahun-tahun, Sasi makan tanpa rasa takut. Sejak saat itu, kunjungan Sasi ke Lumiere menjadi semakin sering. Di balik setiap hidangan yang dirancang dengan hati-hati, tumbuh percakapan yang semakin dalam, tatapan yang semakin lama, dan perasaan yang perlahan sulit disembunyikan. Bagi Sasi, restoran itu menjadi tempat paling aman di dunia—sebuah safe plate tempat ia bisa mempercayakan dirinya sepenuhnya. Namun bagi Nine, yang terbiasa mengekspresikan segalanya lewat makanan, ada satu pertanyaan yang semakin sulit dihindari: apakah perasaan yang ia masukkan ke dalam setiap hidangan untuk Sasi akan pernah benar-benar tersampaikan? Di antara aroma dapur, rahasia masa lalu, dan dunia gemerlap yang tak pernah benar-benar ramah, dua perempuan dari dunia yang berbeda perlahan menemukan bahwa terkadang… satu piring makanan bisa menjadi awal dari sebuah kisah cinta.

Imagine watching your life crack apart slowly… Not all at once, but day after day… month after month… year after year… until one morning you wake up and realize you cannot endure it anymore. Martha was not a bad woman. She was simply exhausted. Exhausted by the children, by the house, by the loneliness, and by a husband she once loved so deeply that she believed love alone was enough to build a happy family. But as the years passed, every beautiful thing between them began to disappear little by little… the care, the kind words, the laughter, and even the ability to speak without fighting. Until the day she raised her hand against her son for the very first time. And the moment she saw the fear in his eyes… she realized that something inside this home had been broken forever. Between a husband suffocating under the pressure of work, a wife silently falling apart, and two children who fear every night that they might lose their family… a painful journey begins to save whatever love still remains within this family, even if the cracks never truly disappear.

Wajahmu masih teringat jelas di dalam memori kenangan, kerinduan selalu menyelimutiku yang bersorai terhadap bulan yang indah. Hingga hadirnya seseorang seolah mengatakan bahwa dirimu masih hidup. Nyatanya, semuanya tak semudah yang aku bayangkan. Kamu... Sakala. Siapa dirimu sebenarnya? Kamu atau dia yang selalu manis padaku?

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
