Gu Nian, a 28-year-old food editor, resigned from his job due to a double blow to his career and emotions. He returned to his hometown of Jiangnan Ancient Town and took over the century-old house and an abandoned private restaurant left by his grandmother. Here, she met Lu Shiyan, who was once the chef of a Michelin restaurant and had retired for some reason. The two bonded over their love for food. Over a vegetable, a meal, and the changing of the four seasons, the two healed each other, regained their courage, and finally gained a relationship as mellow and warm as a slow stew.
