Wang Zhudan, the chef of a star-rated hotel, was caught in a space-time rift by a sudden explosion of stove flames during an accident while developing new dishes late at night. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the wilderness of the Xia Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. Wearing a tattered modern chef's uniform and holding a half-carbonized steel knife in her hand, she faced the tribal people who drank raw hair and drank blood, the primitive life of slash-and-burn farming, and the leader of the Xia tribe, Si Qi, whose eyes were as sharp as an eagle and whose whole body exuded a cold aura.
In order to survive, Wang Zhudan relied on his superb cooking skills to cook wild vegetable soup in clay pots that the tribe had never tasted before, roasted fragrant animal meat with flints, and even used wild fruits to brew sweet and sour wine at the sacrificial ceremony, which unexpectedly won the awe of the tribe. Si Qi, who was originally wary of her as an "extraterrestrial visitor", tasted the food she cooked again and again and witnessed her use of wisdom to solve the tribe's famine, and her cold heart was gradually melted by the warm smoke of fireworks.
When modern cooking concepts collide with the ancient civilization of the Xia Dynasty, when an independent and tenacious female chef meets a tribal leader who cares about the world, in the many tests of floods, sacrifices, and tribal disputes, spatulas and bronze swords intertwine, smoke and beacon colors blend, a love spanning three thousand years is slowly beginning with the heat rising in the clay pot.
