It tells the legendary life of Su Wanying, the daughter of the royal chef. The story begins when she rescues the assassinated young emperor Qin Tianwei on New Year's Eve, but as a result, her whole family is wiped out by the masterminds behind the Lantern Festival. When she died, she accidentally traveled to modern Hong Kong and became college student Lin Wanqing. In modern times, she has emerged in the pastry world with her extraordinary talent in cooking, won love and career, and even won the ancestral "Mystery of Chefs" in a world competition. The moment she touched the secret book, she was reborn and returned to the Mid-Autumn Festival before the tragedy. In order to rewrite her destiny, Su Wanying persuaded her father to use secret books and cooking skills to cure the Queen Mother's anorexia with a medicinal diet, and successfully entered the palace kitchen. In the palace, she relied on her exquisite cooking skills and extraordinary wisdom that blended ancient and modern times to resolve the frame-ups between the imperial concubine and the royal steward Fu Shijin time and time again. She was promoted from chef to chef, and her relationship with the emperor Qin Tianwei, who gradually understood and fell in love with each other, became increasingly deep. She saw through the rebellion plot of Prince Fu and the imperial concubine, and bravely went to Dayan to find the antidote when Qin Tianwei was poisoned. She eventually helped put down the rebellion, and went out with the army during the subsequent invasion of Dayan, improved the military rations, and made many outstanding achievements. After the war, Su Wanying was appointed queen. She sublimated the art of gourmet food into a strategy for governing the country, promoted food nutrition, and benefited all people. Many years later, when the world was at peace, Qin Tianwei and his son Qin Ye lived in seclusion in Suzhou and opened the "Su Ji" restaurant. Su Wanying wrote "Su's Food Classic", created fusion cuisine, and became a truly famous chef in history. She finally found her inner peace and destination in the ordinary and warm life of fireworks.
