Wen Zhixia, who was once an elite investment banker, resolutely resigned after being exhausted physically and mentally, and opened a reservation-only private restaurant called "Yi Yi Xun Zong" on a quiet old street deep in the city. Based on the four seasons, she uses the simplest ingredients to cook the most delicious dishes in the world. She hopes to find the lost self in the aroma of the food and provide a corner of peace for the tired souls in the city.
Not long after the restaurant opened, she encountered the "tribulation" in her life - Shen Yubai, a top food critic known as the "tyrant of the food circle".
He is handsome and elegant, but possesses a "god's tongue" that can accurately identify every ten thousandth flaw, and a poisonous tongue that can crush any chef's self-confidence.
On his first visit, he mercilessly pointed out the almost imperceptible heat deviation in her carefully prepared soup.
"There is more than enough craftsmanship but not enough spirit. Your food has no heart."
His evaluation, like a precise scalpel, cut through the barriers Wen Zhixia was proud of.
It turns out that this "tyrant" who never eats desserts has a pain that cannot be resolved deep in his heart.
And this girl who heals others with delicious food is the one who needs to be healed the most.
When the smoky kitchen meets the impeccable critics, when the healing dishes meet the pickiest taste buds, this is a story about love and food, mutual redemption, and finally finding the only heartbeat among thousands of tastes.
"Shen Yubai, your life is like a bitter melon without sugar, hard to swallow."
"Wen Zhixia, would you like to be my candy?"
