Jiang Yan, a funeral parlor chef who was criticized as "unworthy of touching the stove", became famous for recreating the Qianlong imperial banquet using rotten meat and cold soup. Shen Zhao, the heir to the food sect, regards it as filthy, and food critic He Jiuling uses public opinion to crush him. However, the funeral home owner Zhou and the kitchen spirit A Qing secretly push him towards the truth - beneath the royal banquet, lies the erased bloody history of female chefs. When Lin Banxia's video exposed the moment when Shen Zhao secretly tasted Jiang Yanzhi's food, the foundation of the thousand-year-old food rule began to crumble. The stove does not ask about one's origin, but only whether it can make the souls of the dead rest in peace and the living weep.
