Fondant Garden is a 2012 Taiwanese drama starring South Korean singer Park Jung-min, Jian Man-shu, Kingone Wang, and Lia Lee. The series was first broadcast in Taiwan on free-to-air China Television (CTV) on 24 February and ongoing for 16 episodes.

Synopsis
Zheng Mi En (Jian Man Shu) is a talented pastry chef who works and manages at a successful bakery called Fondant Garden. Her boss and close friend from college, Chen Ai Lin (Lia Lee) always asks Mi En to bake cakes for her and pass them off as her own creations, convincing her prideful father that she is the one baking the amazing cakes. Ai Lin's father sends Ai Lin off to a fondant cake-making competition in Korea, causing Ai Lin to drag Mi En into her mesh of lies once again.

In the midst of this, Po Xi Huan/Park Hee Hwan (Park Jung Min) is a second-generation Taiwanese-Korean businessman from a Korean company who does not wish to inherit his family business. His father plans to use the upcoming cake competition as a way to force Xi Huan into an arranged marriage with the winner, who apparently has been chosen ahead of time. Xi Huan's Taiwanese half-brother, Yan Han Xiang (Kingone Wang) runs the family business division in Taiwan, but wants to be the successor of Xi Huan's father's company. Because of this, Han Xiang is a little annoyed that his younger half-brother is uninterested in taking over the business, and yet might inherit it instead of him.

Cast
The lead male character, 24 years old, half-Korean, half-Taiwanese and is the rightful heir of CNR. He is gorgeous, lively and cunning, who has attracted many young women's hearts just by his shining smiles. He tends to pull off his mischievous practical jokes on people around him without any bad intention but only to bring people together. Even though Xi Huan's father has been bothered by his troublemaker son but his attempts of trying to discipline the black sheep of the family are always ruined by his mother. Xi Huan originally is a good-natured boy but his grandmother's indulgence has made him spoiled and selfish. After being forced to meet many women from other wealthy families, he desperately wants to get outside of his father's plans to transform him into a successful businessman and future leader of CNr by putting him in an arranged marriage. He escapes and hides in Taiwan, pretending that he lost his memory and going by the name "Han Ji." He is romantically interested in Zheng Mi En, even though he rarely shows his true feelings towards her but rather teasing and putting pranks on Mi En instead.
