Wu Xiaolu, a modern Michelin chef, accidentally traveled through time and became a bankrupt cook with the same name in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty. She inherited the dilapidated restaurant "Huaweiju" and a lot of debts. Faced with the dilemma of having no peppers, no tomatoes, and not even an iron pot, as well as multiple pressures from gangsters, peers, and powerful people. In desperation, she activated the "Chinese Food Supermarket System" bound to her soul. She can "purchase" goods from the modern supermarket once a week, but she needs to use the "diner surprise points" obtained by making amazing food to redeem purchase qualifications. Lin Xiaoman relied on the golden fingers of the system and his excellent modern cooking skills to play with basic Tang Dynasty foods such as Hu cakes and soup cakes, and integrated them with the cooking techniques of later generations to create "spicy hotpot", "boiled fish", "lychee grilled fish" and other time-traveling divine dishes, which quickly detonated Chang'an. She got acquainted with Pei Xiuyuan, a cold-faced general who was idle in Beijing because of his outstanding military exploits but was under suspicion. Using delicious food as a matchmaker, she gradually got into his closed heart. As "Huaweiju" became famous, Lin Xiaoman was involved in the vortex of the prince's inheritance, the struggle between merchant gangs, and the border war. She used her cooking skills as a sword and the restaurant as a shield to unite the people in the city and fight against all forces. In the end, she not only opened "Huaweiju" throughout the Tang Dynasty and became recognized as the "Female Goddess of Cooking", she also helped Pei Xiuyuan find out his grievances and returned to the frontier to defend his family and country. The two made a promise to each other beside the stove with fireworks rising.
