Gu Ming, the founder of a modern tea brand, accidentally traveled to ancient times due to a sip of Osmanthus Pu'er and became a "tea slave" at the bottom of the Tea Horse Company. She discovered that she could only return to the future by gathering together the "Five Flavors of Strange Tea" to prepare the "Homecoming Milk Cap". In order to survive, she forms an alliance with Xiao Fengqi, the deposed prince who is poisoned: she saves his life with a modern cheese recipe, and he helps her find tea and regain the throne.
She encountered three disasters on the way: the tea horse fire destroyed the recipe, the powerful minister Xiao Chong forced her to hand over the secret recipe at the cost of the lives of thousands of tea farmers, and the imperial city ordered the execution of "tea rebels". In the crisis, Gu Ming gradually realized that "tea is life, not a bargaining chip", and disclosed the five-flavor formula for the world to share. In the end, she used blood as a guide to complete the "Returning Milk Cap", but chose to give up the opportunity of return to Xiao Fengqi. She stayed in ancient times to promote tea ceremony, became the "Tea Saint", and truly understood that "sharing is the sweetness of the future."
