Seraphina Arden, a capable and food-loving chubby girl, fills her days with laughter and delicious meals. Yet, to her parents, happiness seems incomplete without the “perfect partner.” Constant matchmaking attempts leave her exasperated, but the search for someone who can both share her love for food and truly cherish her continues. By a twist of fate, Seraphina becomes the personal secretary to Leon Everhart, the cold and commanding tycoon of the real estate world. At work, her exceptional talent and sharp wit shine, earning the admiration of even the notoriously picky Leon. But it’s her cheerful, food-obsessed charm that slowly melts his frosty exterior through their daily interactions. Seraphina never imagined that the seemingly unattainable boss she once deemed out of her league would fall for her warmth and authenticity. And Leon comes to realize that the girl always pondering her next meal is the one he can’t live without.
