Lin Xiaozhi's life plan is very clear: inherit her family's century-old small restaurant, raise a fat cat, drink tea in the sun, and be a happy salted fish cook. Unexpectedly, a bolt from the blue, her father was framed and imprisoned, and the lives of the whole family were hanging by a thread. In order to save her family, Lin Xiaozhi was forced to enter the palace carrying two kitchen knives and became the lowest-level maid in the imperial kitchen. Her new life plan: live a low-key life, work hard to save money, fish out her father as soon as possible, and then go home and continue to be a salted fish. However, she seemed to have misunderstood the word "low-key". The spicy crayfish I accidentally cooked made the anorexic Crown Prince finish three bowls of rice in a row. The smoothly grilled mutton skewers made the general, who always looked down on cooks, chase her and call her "master". A dessert called "Yangzhi Nectar" actually caused a fight among the concubines in the harem over the recipe. Even the emperor, who was said to be aloof and ruthless, would sneak into the imperial kitchen every day under the pretext of inspection, just to have a bowl of scallion noodles cooked by her. Lin Xiaozhi backed away in horror: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules!" The emperor said seriously: "Ai Qing's cooking skills are the biggest rule in the palace." Lin Xiaozhi: Help! I really just want to be a salted fish, why do you want me to be rolled into a palace fighting king? Seeing that she was getting further and further away from her goal of "going home and lying down", and instead embarked step by step on the road of "dominating the harem by relying on delicious food", she shed tears like a social animal. I just want to get off work, but His Majesty wants me to work overtime. All the big guys in the Forbidden City are in love with my lunch box.
