In the royal kitchen of the palace, Li Meng was just a low-level cook who did odd jobs. She only cooked simple meals and never showed off her cooking skills. She worked quietly and lived a low-key life, and was despised by all the royal chefs. Wang Xue, the royal genius chef, studied under the famous palace chef and was deeply loved by the royal family. Her craftsmanship was praised as the best in the world. She had an arrogant and snobbish personality and had high ambitions. From the bottom of her heart, she looked down on Li Meng, who came from a humble background, and felt that the low-level handyman was not worthy of touching kitchen utensils. She repeatedly stole Li Meng's high-quality ingredients, replaced her dish ideas, mocked her in public for her poor cooking skills, and even threw the pot of the dishes she had ruined to Li Meng.
Wang Xue was certain that Li Meng, who had no apprenticeship and no background, would only be able to do odd jobs for himself throughout his life and would never be able to achieve elegance. No one knows that Li Meng possesses the ancient imperial diet recipe that has been lost for thousands of years. He is proficient in the unique tastes and medicinal diets of the north and the south. His cooking skills far exceed those of all the royal chefs in the palace, but he does not want to show off his talents. The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was approaching, and Wang Xue's carefully prepared finale dish was overturned. In order to maintain his position, he directly blamed Li Meng for secretly poisoning and deliberately destroying the banquet, and wanted to kill her with a cane. At the critical moment of life and death, Li Meng no longer hid his clumsiness and took over the banquet on the spot. Several delicious dishes amazed the audience and everyone in the royal family praised them repeatedly. She dismantled the shortcomings of Wang Xue's dishes in public, exposing all the evidence of her poor academic skills, stealing credit and shirking the blame, and framing others. In the Royal Culinary Competition, Li Meng won the championship with his overwhelming cooking skills, replacing Wang Xue as the royal chief chef, and was highly regarded by the royal family. In the past, she was a humble little cook who worked as a handyman, but she suddenly made a counterattack, and her cooking skills surpassed those in the palace, and she became famous all over the world.
