Chemistry master Ye Zhen traveled through time and became the prime minister's legitimate daughter who committed suicide by hitting a wall. She was pregnant and was abandoned in the woodshed to die. With the help of modern knowledge, she used plant ash and lard to create "spicy pancake" in exchange for life. After escaping from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she settled in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city and met the mysterious "beggar" Mo Chen.
The two worked together from setting up a stall in the market to establishing the "Zhenpin Pavilion". With their original "Zhu Yan Gai" scented pancreas and pure fragrance dew, they gradually conquered the aristocratic circle of the capital and were awarded the title of Imperial Merchant. However, the stepmother's persecution, colleagues' frame-up, and Ning Prince's eldest son's suppression followed one after another. At the same time, Mo Chen's hidden identity and an old murder case gradually emerged, and they were closely related to Ye Zhen's father, the prime minister.
From an abandoned girl in the woodshed to a new upstart in the business world, from a down-and-out beggar to the master of the Jianghu Pavilion, the two supported each other in the conspiracy and calculation, and their feelings grew secretly. Not only do they want to build a business empire, but they also vow to uncover the truth about the past and fight against the entire powerful class.
