Chu Yiyi, a modern food blogger, accidentally traveled to the ancient Prime Minister's Mansion and became the lowest-level kitchen handyman. Faced with oppression, contempt and a difficult living environment, she relied on her modern cooking skills and keen taste talent to make a comeback despite the smoke and cold eyes.
From cold side dishes, braised pork, sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root, to innovative palace desserts, she gradually conquered the prime minister's palace and the palace kitchen, and even attracted the attention of the queen mother and royal nobles.
But behind the whirlpool of power and intrigues at the palace banquet, Chu Yiyi not only had to face the rejection of her peers and the intrigues of the palace, but she also had to stick to her original intention amidst the crises and use her skillful hands and firm belief to carve out a counterattack of her own.
This is an inspirational growth story about a modern woman with a "golden finger" who, in the cold ancient times, grew from a small handyman to a palace chef that everyone respects, and may even tip the balance of imperial power.
I thought it was just my cooking skills that saved my life, but my feelings quietly fermented. Xiao Cheng, who was cold and arrogant, originally disdained worldly emotions, but in Chu Yiyi's casual smile and heart-warming food, he gradually let go of his guard. And Chu Yiyi also rediscovered his self-worth and love in this complex and gentle world.
From the back kitchen to the palace, from the small kitchen to the whole world, Chu Yiyi used a pair of skillful hands, a sincere heart, and heart-warming meals to cook a sweet but not greasy, warm but not ordinary love story.
