Su Jintang, the former head of the imperial dining room, was framed and hid in the market with the imperial dining gold medal. Three years later, at the birthday banquet of Shangshu Mansion, she was humiliated in public by the noble lady Lu Wantang and the dishes were vulgar. She was so angry that she showed her gold medal, causing an uproar in the audience. Lu Wantang's father was critically ill and the imperial doctor was at a loss. Su Jintang saved the minister's life with a bowl of medicinal food. Lu Wantang knelt down and begged for forgiveness. Pei Changgeng, the son of the richest man in the capital, secretly helped, only to find that the man behind Su Jintang's frame was directed at Eunuch Qi in the palace. Su Jintang returns to the capital, and a series of lost royal dishes overturns the court, and also uncovers a shocking conspiracy involving the succession of the throne.
