"Eating is the most important thing in life!" This is the life creed of food editor Lin Xiaoman. She has a tricky tongue, a good appetite, and can read people's hearts with food, but she can't handle two things: her senior who makes things difficult at work, and her family's talkative mother, Wang Meilan, who can seamlessly connect from rising egg prices to urging marriages. The Lin family's daily morning and evening routine begins with Xiaoman's professional comments on the heat of the omelette and her mother's never-ending nagging.
What also worries Wang Meilan is her son Lin Xiaoshuai, who is in the late stages of "love brain". He has great looks, but he is crazy about love all year round. Every relationship is as vigorous as an idol drama, and his partners change faster than the seasons, which makes my mother's blood pressure continue to soar.
When Xiaoman went to visit a mysterious private restaurant in order to save her job, she bumped into Bingshan chef Chen Shi. He is skilled in craftsmanship but his background is a mystery. He competes with Xiao Man on the "tip of the tongue" and gradually becomes her taste bud confidant. At the same time, for the first time, Xiaoshuai met the "right one" who made him put aside all his tricks - the rational yoga instructor Su Qing, but he was struggling because of the huge difference in values.
Wang Meilan had a thorough investigation into the new developments of her children, and intervened forcefully, making the already chaotic situation even more confusing. Work crises, emotional confusion, and family wars broke out one after another... In this smoky home, quarrels and care flew together, and complaints and warmth were shared.
In the end, through the bond of food, the stubborn mother began to learn to let go, the impulsive brother recognized himself in frustration, and Xiao Man, who loved to escape, bravely made a choice about career and love.
