Su Qing, a modern white-collar worker, encounters a car accident and her soul travels into the body of a ten-year-old refugee girl "Ahe" in ancient times. Ahe was separated from his parents on the way to escape and died of starvation in the woods. The arrival of Su Qing gave this thin body a new lease of life. After learning that her parents had died of starvation, she kowtowed three times and followed the refugees from her hometown to Yangzhou City.
After entering the city, there was no one to resettle the refugees, and Ah He became a beggar. When he was hungry, he mistakenly knocked on the back door of the brothel "Misty Rain Tower". Seeing that she was cheap and useful, the madam kept her as a handyman on a contract of sale. During the two years, she struggled on the ground floor, but also secretly recorded the secrets of the government and business people in the building.
Yangzhou City was captured by the rebels and the Yanyu Tower was reduced to ruins. Ahe found his deed of prostitution in the old bustard's house and hid until the rebels retreated and the court regained the city. With modern legal awareness, she took the deed to the Yamen to change her household registration, and after some clever persuasion, she stayed as a laundry girl.
During the two years in the Yamen, she used the information she heard in Yanyu Tower to provide many key clues to Mr. Lin who was handling post-war affairs, and was appreciated by him. She took the opportunity to join the kitchen to learn cooking skills. With her modern food concepts and hard work, she quickly made a name for herself. During this period, she gradually fell in love with Shen Feng, the son of a yamen catcher and cook. Finally, after peace returned to Yangzhou City, she married him and settled down with her good cooking skills to find a stable home in troubled times.
