The dishes she cooks can make people tell the truth, and every meal in the Hou Mansion reveals a shocking secret.
Michelin-starred chef Wen Wan was revealed to be the vicious step-brother of the Hou family, and was hated by the whole family from the beginning.
The old lady said she was poisoned, the stepson said she abused the children, and the Marquis even prepared to write a letter of divorce to drive her out of the house.
Wen Wan is bound to the "Truth Recipe": a dish is unlocked every day, and the person who eats it will be unable to lie for one stick of incense.
At the first meal, the housekeeper admitted that he had stolen thirty thousand taels; at the second meal, the wet nurse told the truth about his stepson's poisoning; at the third meal, the Marquis personally admitted that he had hidden the divorce letter long ago.
While Wen Wan was cooking, she was also clearing out the culprits, investigating old cases, opening a restaurant, and trying to prop up the crumbling Hou Mansion.
Her stepson, who once went on a hunger strike, stayed in the kitchen every day with his job in hand, and Mr. Lengmian even took the initiative to light the fire for her.
When the heroine of the original book tried to frame her with a poisonous banquet, Wen Wan served the last dish of truth:
"Whoever lies today will have to admit it."
