Under the red walls and blue tiles of the Dayin Dynasty, there was the strictest hierarchical order. The royal family and the six aristocratic families control the life of the court. The promotion of the poor children is as fast as the sky. Women are even imprisoned in the back house. Even doing business and art are regarded as "unruly women". However, the seemingly stable dynasty actually has undercurrents - the interruption of the trade routes in the Western Regions has led to soaring prices, and the treasury is empty but no one dares to challenge it; the concubines in the harem are fighting with the forces of the previous dynasty to compete for the throne of the heir; emerging merchants are rising in the market, but they are suppressed by the wealthy families and are struggling.
The food culture of this world is also bound by rules: cooking techniques have not changed for hundreds of years, seasonings are limited to onions, ginger and garlic, and even royal banquets are just a pile of delicacies from the mountains and seas. Until Su Wan traveled through time with modern delicacies, the sizzling sound of Teppanyaki and the silky taste of milk tea completely broke people's perception of "eating". What is even more unexpected is that she brought not only a revolution in taste - modern business thinking, chemical knowledge, and management concepts, like a huge stone thrown into a deep pool, stirred up waves in this feudal dynasty.
The seventh prince Xiao Jamyan seems to be absurd and unruly, but in fact he has been secretly planning for many years just to break the family's monopoly; Shen Yifeng, as the young master of the chamber of commerce, has great appearance, but he is burdened with the heavy shackles of the family's rise and fall; and Su Wan, a concubine abandoned by the family, accidentally becomes a key figure in stirring up the situation. When food becomes a weapon, when wisdom breaks prejudice, a counterattack between the kitchen and the court is about to overturn the entire era.
Here, every dish may become a fatal bargaining chip, and every business decision is related to life.
