Food blogger Jiang Xiaoyou is accidentally electrocuted and transmigrates into ancient times as Jiang Yuyou, a bullied concubine-born daughter of the Jiang family. The jade pendant she carries conceals a modern kitchen space, but she needs to earn praise from diners to collect "food points" and exchange them for ingredients. When her stepmother gives her a hard time, she retaliates by using demon peppers to teach the vicious dogs a lesson. A dish of poached pork wins over the palate of Xie Jinyu, the capital's most handsome man and foremost food connoisseur, but she is then banished to a barren farm.
Armed with modern cooking skills and her chili pepper golden finger, Jiang Yuyou transforms the impoverished farm into a spice-growing estate.
