Lu Ze transmigrates to a courtyard house in 1946.
His father was deliberately framed and killed, and his previous self was beaten to death from behind, leaving an eight-year-old younger sister and a family with nothing.
From the start, he inherits a pastry shop, but the shop has already been mortgaged.
His ancestors were a family of culinary masters. Surely the tradition can’t end with him?
Lu Ze starts out selling food at a street stall, then soon becomes a culinary master renowned throughout the capital. Countless remnants of the old regime, powerful officials, wealthy aristocrats, celebrated chefs, and masters of their fields fall under the spell of his cooking.
