In an era when "happiness" can be clearly priced, [Xinjing Company] lights up the whole world with golden "joy" crystals, and defines "sadness" and "fear" as garbage that needs to be cleared away.
Gu Xiaofan, a third-rate restaurant owner hiding in the dirty alleys of the city, firmly believes that every emotion is a unique top-quality ingredient.
When a lovelorn girl hands over a broken "crystal of love", he can use a pinch of "regret" salt and three drops of "nostalgia" oil to cook a soul soup called "relief".
When the ambitious elite hands over an overheated "thorn of ambition", he will mix it with ice-cold "loneliness" and a trace amount of "self-deprecation" to make a special "calm" drink.
He is the only "emotional cook" in this hypocritical paradise, a man who fights the world with a spatula.
However, when the "Emotional Scavenger" from [Xinjing Company] knocked on the door of his dilapidated store, Gu Xiaofan knew that his days of peaceful fishing, like his never-stick wok, were about to get into big trouble.
