The family went bankrupt, creditors came to visit, and Shen Nian'an fell from the clouds into dust. When she was desperate, she was kept captive by her former rival and business tycoon Lu Xiao with a "deed of sale" at a sky-high price. He was cold and ascetic, controlling everything about her, as if he was a long-planned revenge. Shen Nian'an couldn't bear it and just stayed at the dilapidated restaurant left by her grandmother, boiling all her efforts into one porridge and one meal. However, her diners are getting more and more strange - the aloof civet cat always accurately catches the troublemakers, the noisy parrot is familiar with business secrets, and even the old sycamore tree at the door seems to be protecting her from the wind and rain. Until Lu Xiao's mortal enemies joined forces to suppress her, he closely protected her behind him and did not hesitate to overthrow the business empire. Only then did Shen Nian'an suddenly realize that his almost paranoid "captivity" was actually a clumsy guardianship that spanned many years. And her food had already quietly healed all the scars in his cold world.
