In the deep alley of the French Concession in Shanghai, the "Ruan Family Chef" is hidden in the market place. The proprietress Ruan Yan, with her unique skills, guards the fireworks and the unknown past.
Jiang Yan's appearance broke the calm. He is a frequent visitor to restaurants. His fingertips are thin and sharp, and every dish he orders is the secret code of a revolutionary. From Ruan Yan's initial awareness to taking the initiative to use the kitchen as a knife to protect his companions with soup and soup, the two gradually fell in love with each other in a silent understanding.
When Jiang Yan left half a bowl of Dingsheng cake and lost contact, Ruan Yan turned the small kitchen into a smoke-free battlefield and traveled all over the concession to find him and protect him. During the war years, they used delicious food as a contract and sincerity as a shield. In the secret battle of life and death, they guarded each other, their homeland and their return date in their hearts.
