Zheng Yan, a takeaway boy, died in a car accident, and his soul accidentally possessed a nine-year-old orphan in Peking in 1937. The pain of being abandoned by his adoptive parents in his previous life turned into an iron fist for survival in this life. Facing the soon-to-be-fallen city of Beiping and his mean cousin, he relied on his cooking skills in his previous life and the "God of Cooking" skills he had awakened from his system, starting from a broken pot, and vowed to find a way to survive in this troubled world! When the Japanese soldiers broke into the restaurant, the kitchen knife in Zheng Yan's hand was no longer as simple as cutting vegetables.
