Lu Youming has a secret: she can "taste" other people's youthful emotions. Anxiety is the bitter coptis, secret love is the sweet cream, and jealousy is the spicy oil that burns the throat. For her, youth is a bowl of mixed flavors that she has to eat. She originally wanted to rely on this weird ability to survive in the repressive Ivy Middle School until she graduated, until she "tasted" the transfer student Jiang Jinyue - the smell that permeated his body was empty, cold and "tasteless".
This "tasteless" person is actually a recognized genius in the academic world, always number one. Out of curiosity and a sense of sympathy, Lu Youming began to approach him, but accidentally discovered that Jiang Jinyue was not tasteless, but had "locked" all his emotions in his heart. The depth of that "heart well" was a deep sea of despair that could drown everything. By accident, Lu Youming's emotional "flavor" became the key to opening the well.
The fate of the two has been entangled since then. Lu Youming used his abilities to taste the distress of his classmates and clumsily tried to "cure" others, but often made a mess; while Jiang Jinyue used his genius mind to help her analyze and deal with the aftermath, and glimpsed the possibility of thawing in her own heart. They licked each other's wounds, one found self-worth in the process of healing others, and the other learned to "breathe" again by feeling the warmth of others. This bowl of youthful rice has finally gone from being difficult to swallow to a precious dish worthy of savoring and cooking together.
