Jiang Zhuo was falsely accused of poisoning the imperial concubine and was expelled from the palace with a mute voice. However, he used leftover soup in a dark alley to create a homely flavor that made people cry.

Nanny Lin controls all flavors, Shen Zhiyao carries the prince's secret order, Lu Zhao suffers between loyalty and filial piety, and the mute boy A Nuo draws the outline of each poisonous vegetable with charcoal. When the fire in the imperial kitchen was sealed, what she overturned was not the stove, but the web of lies woven by the taste of the entire dynasty.
