Lan Qi, an unknown palace maid in Zhongcui Palace, was involved in a palace turmoil due to the national mourning of Queen Hesheli. Under the haze of the queen's death in childbirth, Bu Yao gave birth to a little princess. Lan Qi was sent to Qianqing Palace to announce the good news, but she accidentally met a mysterious old eunuch because she got lost. The old eunuch taught her a lost famous palace dish "Jade White Jade Soup". This soup not only cured Emperor Kangxi's grief, but also made Lan Qi stand out in the imperial dining room.
As time passed, Lan Qi won the emperor's appreciation with her talent and kindness, and became the "fragrant cook" in the palace. Not only did she restore Queen Hesheli's favorite "anchovy fins" during her lifetime, but she also won the respect of everyone with her exquisite dishes during the battles in the palace. However, the palace is constantly changing, jealousy and intrigues continue, and Lan Qi must find a way to survive. Her story, like the dishes in her hands, is full of color and flavor and has become a legend in the Forbidden City.
