In Chang'an during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Shen Zhiwei, who was born in a family of culinary arts, had to disguise himself as a man and take over the family's small restaurant "Zhiweizhai" because his father was wrongly imprisoned. With her superb cooking skills, she prepared a variety of novel and delicious dishes, attracting literati, dignitaries, and even the emperor who paid a private visit incognito. In the process of running the restaurant, while searching for evidence to clear her father's wrong, she met a group of like-minded friends and performed a wonderful Chang'an food legend.
