Zhou Yan, a bankrupt investment tycoon, rents a century-old restaurant in an ancient town that is about to be demolished to avoid debts, but is forced to be bound to Shen Zhiwei, a female chef from the Republic of China who is trapped in a time loop. She is obsessed with a "three sets of ducks" that is about to be lost, while he only thinks about how to cash in quickly. Under the dual pressure of the creditor and the demolition team, a strange transaction across time and space began: he learned her almost harsh ancient skills, and she tacitly allowed him to use modern thinking to find a way out of the old flavor. From perfunctory to awe, Zhou Yan gradually understood in the day-to-day cycle that what he wanted to save was not just an old shop or a dish, but also an obsession with "inheritance" that spanned a century. When the lost taste reappears in the world, can the broken life and the frozen time be saved and reborn together?
