Jiang Xiaotao flees an arranged marriage and heads to the city, where she gets a job as a canteen helper at a state-owned canning factory.
She was born with a keen sense of taste and can detect the tiniest differences in a recipe with a single bite. But back in the countryside, this talent only earned her scorn. To keep her job, she hides her gift and just wants to save enough money to leave quietly.
Until one day, she tastes a can of peach candy in front of everyone and points out that it's three grams short.
Lu Zheng is the factory's youngest technical director. White shirt, gold-rimmed glasses, zero tolerance for product defects, and he never gives women a second look.
Later, when someone picks on Jiang Xiaotao, he stands up for her. When someone pursues her, he coolly transfers them to the night shift. Even the marriage that had been forced on her is called off by him in person.
Jiang Xiaotao finally can't help asking, “Director Lu, what exactly are you trying to do?”
The man bends toward her, a faint mist clouding his lenses.
“Three grams of sugar can be added back.”
“But you can't keep looking at me less.”
