Su Xiaotang, a beggar on the streets of the Great Yan Dynasty, was adopted as an outer disciple by the beggar gang for his ability to make delicacies from rotten vegetable leaves and brown rice. One time while stealing leftover food from a restaurant, she unexpectedly met Chu Zhaoyan, the head chef of the royal family, who was rumored to be the successor to the God of Cookery and "reached Taoism through cooking". He was surprised by the peonies she carved from radishes. Chu Zhaoyan designed her to be brought into the palace and stayed in the imperial dining room as a "vegetable taster". Together, they dealt with the oppression of the hypocritical concubine and the schemes of the sickly prince, cured the emperor's cough with medicinal diet, and resolved the palace crisis with delicious food. During the process, all Chu Zhaoyan's "scheming" was used to protect her, and Su Xiaotang's "pistachio" personality melted his coldness. The two went from "kitchen partners" to "depending on each other for life and death", and finally ended the palace fight with a "reunion soup" and became the most legendary "God of Cooking Couple" in the Great Yan Dynasty.
