Shen Zhiwei, who was scolded as a fake cook, opened the stove at the royal banquet and discovered the secret recipe of three generations of royal meals, which shocked the harem. Xie Yunheng, the female official of the royal family, wanted to punish her to death, but she discovered the truth about her grandmother's unjust case in the original secret book. The gestures of the mute maid Liu, the fragments of the folk cook Qin Sanniang, and the strange smell of the little stove boy Ayan, all piece together the hidden secrets of the royal diet. When Concubine Zhao controlled the dragon's body with medicinal food, Shen Zhiwei used home-made fireworks to fight against the machinations of the palace wall, Xie Yunheng finally tore into pieces the ceremonial mask - what was being cooked in this stove was not food, but the lives and souls of three generations.
