Lin Zhe, a modern-day Michelin chef, accidentally traveled through time and became Zhao Si, a low-level assistant cook in the Qin Dynasty palace. Starting from a bowl of instant noodles, he relied on modern food civilization to surprise Xianyang Palace with a roasted whole lamb, starting a counterattack.
After being promoted to head chef, he innovated the kitchen and founded a school. Food became his sharpest sword. However, the court was never quiet. Framed by his colleagues, monitored by powerful officials, and the emperor's obsession with immortality... He was forced to get involved in the most dangerous chess game - using medicinal food to reconcile the poison of the golden elixir.
When the health of Qin Shihuang and the fate of the empire depended on the tip of his tongue, Zhao Si discovered that what he was cooking was not only delicacies, but also poisons of power, conspiracy and survival. In the rolling torrent of history, he must use the pot and spoon as a blade to fight a way out for himself and his followers on the battlefield of taste.
