Modern chef Lin Wanhun travels to the Yong Dynasty and takes over the dilapidated food shop left by her parents. She unexpectedly awakens the lost talent of spiritual food - the food she cooks can tame evil spirits, purify evil spirits, and nourish the soul. She can be salty or sweet, and decisive in killing: she is gentle to her friends and protects her shortcomings, but she is never soft on her enemies. When ruffians collect protection fees, she pours a pot of boiling oil on them. When evil cultivators harm people, she sends them on their way with a bowl of spiritual food.
