A miserly owner running a rundown luosifen shop is not only burdened by a family curse that shortens his life, but has also been treated as an outsider since childhood because of his golden eyes. He only wanted to scrape by, but while buying groceries, he was dragged into the deadly "Day-and-Night Flavor Purgatory."
At the brink of death, the golden snail spirit inside his ancestral copper ladle awakens! While others hack at monsters with swords, he swings a giant iron wok. While others bombard them with magic, he blinds gods by flinging a handful of sour bamboo shoots and spicy noodles at them. At the Celestial Chef Grand Contest, orthodox master chefs show off their dazzling skills, while he silences the whole crowd with a single pinch of salt. When foul flavors besiege the city, a bowl of his "Resurrection Soup" makes the enemy's big boss switch sides on the spot.
When the lofty Twelve Flavor Sovereigns try to erase humanity, Qin Yan wipes the red oil from his apron and swings his battered copper ladle. "People eat my noodles standing up, and gods are no exception! This pot of soup is ready to come off the stove!"
