A car accident caused food critic Wen Jianwei to lose her sense of taste. The thousands of flavors that once bloomed on the tip of her tongue were only left with an eternal blank. She relied on memory and smell to write reviews, until she met the talented chef Huo Zhixiao - a man who excelled at molecular cuisine, but could not swallow a bite of his creations due to inner demons.
Wen Jianwei's anonymous negative review became the beginning of the entanglement in the fate of the two. When Huo Zhixiao breaks into the "taste universe" she built with perfume bottles, a ridiculous deal begins: he uses edible spices to recreate the phantom of taste for her, and she presses harder, trying to tear through his dusty defenses. In the wonderful aroma of molecular cuisine and the tears of the late-night confrontation, the two gradually pieced together each other's broken past - the shadow of childhood in the ruins of the fire, the hidden truth behind the car accident, all slowly emerged in this exchange of tastes.
And when Wen Jianwei's sense of taste miraculously recovered, the first bite she tasted of the dishes cooked by Huo Zhixiao was exactly the same as the taste she had imagined during her blind years. It turns out that fate has already foreshadowed it, and those days and nights of mutual redemption have already boiled love into the most touching flavor.
