In this steel forest called "Sea of Mirrors", every piece of food is accurately designed and priced, but the soul is missing.
Chen Mo, a chef who can taste all the "emotions" and "truths" behind food, is the most painful alien in this false world. He was denounced as a lunatic by the Michelin restaurant and expelled from the modern catering world until he ended up living in the last dying old street in the heart of the city - "In the Fireworks".
Here, a bowl of hot soup hides decades of perseverance; a plate of stir-fried vegetables is full of the expectations of neighbors. He met Uncle De, who spent his life guarding a small shop, and documentary director Lin Xi, who used his lens to explore the truth. Chen Mo's ability, which was considered a curse, found its meaning for the first time.
However, the giant wheel of capital is rolling in to crush this last "human firework" into dust. The catering empire headed by the old enemy Zhao Jùn has laid a dragnet in an attempt to completely erase all undefined "reality".
This is a war of taste buds and a battle of hearts.
When the whole world is chasing false sophistication, can he single-handedly awaken the taste buds of a city with the simplest taste and protect the warmest smell of human fireworks that belongs to everyone?
