Shen Zhuotang, the imperial cook of the Leng Palace, cooks the leftover soup every day to create an amazing taste. A spoonful of old fire soup actually attracted the emperor to visit the woodshed at night. She never competes for favor, but she overturns the century-old rules of the imperial kitchen with a plate of moldy tofu. When Wei Jiuwo broke into the imperial kitchen with a nine-ring knife and tore up the imperial chef's roster in public, everyone in the court thought he was crazy - until the gilt stove that he smashed with his own hands could actually steam cloud-mist steamed cakes in the shape of a phoenix. The wild mint planted by Shen Zhuotang in the corner of the Forbidden Palace became the only vitality in the Forbidden Palace. He burned the royal cooking recipe for her, and she cooked the world's first "human fireworks" for him. No one understands that these two people, one uses fire and the other uses life, what they cook is never food, but a way to survive.
