Shen Weiwan is an inconspicuous concubine in the Shen family. Her biological mother died young, and she lives on thin ice in the back house. Her only ability to survive is her good cooking skills. Shen Qingyao, the concubine in the mansion, is spoiled and jealous, and Aunt Liu is scheming every step of the way. Even the usually majestic old lady treats her coldly. An unexpected cooking competition made her stand out with her "Emerald White Jade Soup", but she also got involved in a deeper whirlpool in the back house - the stolen silk and satin from the warehouse, the strange things in the old lady's medicine bowl, and Aunt Liu's secret troubles, all pointed at her. Shen Weiwan doesn't have a golden finger, so she can only rely on careful observation and excellent cooking skills to navigate between the kitchen and the back house to solve the mysteries one by one. She used a "lotus seed soup" to melt the old lady's indifference, and used "osmanthus cake" to ease the relationship with her brothers and sisters, so that the family relationship gradually warmed up. One day during a heavy rain, when she was sheltering from the rain, she shared an umbrella with the general Xiao Jinyuan who happened to be passing by. The two of them had an intersection since then. Although she loves money, she gets it wisely. She earned her first pot of gold through her cooking skills, but it also attracted more schemes. With her wisdom and resilience, Shen Weiwan used spatulas as weapons and food as bridges in the turbulent back house, not only to gain a foothold for herself, but also to gain family affection and unexpected love.
