Lin Xiaoxiao, a modern-day inheritor of the luosifen tradition, is accidentally electrocuted and transmigrates into the Jing Dynasty as an orphan. Facing a home stripped bare of everything, she clings to her family’s ancestral craft and sets up a luosifen stall in a corner of the market, despite the complaints that its smell is disturbing the neighbors.
Xiao Yi, a cool and aloof prince who claims to lead a life of leisure, is secretly investigating a case in disguise when the strange smell, “stinky to sniff, delicious to eat,” stops him in his tracks. First he frowns in distaste, then he becomes a regular who never fails to order “double fried tofu skin.” He watches this prickly but tenacious young woman use modern marketing techniques to turn her little stall into a hit, and his heart begins to stir.
When the bustle of street life meets the currents of political intrigue, and a street vendor crosses paths with a prince hiding his true nature, a bowl of luosifen warms her livelihood and simmers up a love story all their own. She teaches him to grill skewers, and he takes a blade for her. From testing each other to facing life and death side by side, they discover that the best flavor is the everyday warmth of sharing a bowl of noodles with you.
