Shen Zhiwei, who was born as a commoner, became a new widow who was wantonly bullied by her evil mother-in-law and sister-in-law after her newlywed husband, the prince of the Hou family, died suddenly and mysteriously. Faced with the desperate situation of being deprived of her family property, kicked out of the Marquis' mansion, and separated from her young son, she started a desperate counterattack with her superb cooking skills. With a bowl of medicated food, she rescued the old lady who always told the truth in the Marquis Mansion and got a chance to breathe; at a family banquet, she wowed the picky dignitaries with praises and quietly established her own network; with a snack, she exposed her sister-in-law's sinister plot and successfully counterattacked. Using the kitchen as a battlefield and the spatula as a weapon, she gradually grew from a lamb to be slaughtered to a "goddess of food" mistress who was in charge of the economic lifeline of the prince's mansion and made all enemies fearful. In the process of tracing the real cause of her late husband's death, she formed an alliance with Xiao Jue, a sinister prince who was disguised as an imperial businessman and also loved food. They finally joined forces to uncover a shocking conspiracy within the prince's palace to fight for power and even involve the court. They achieved a gorgeous upgrade from house fighting to power conspiracy, and won honor and a future for herself and her son.
