After her soul transmigrates into the body of a destitute little cook, Mai Mengmeng only wants to support her family with her nimble hands and find a way back to the modern world. Little does she know that one bowl of wake-up soup will first bring her to the attention of the most untouchable man in Great Jin: General Zhenyuan.
Mai Mengmeng's soul transmigrates into the body of a little cook who is nearly starving to death. She takes her grandmother and four younger siblings to the capital to find a way to survive. She only wants to live in peace by relying on her cooking, but one bowl of wake-up soup draws the attention of Xiao Yan, a cold-faced young general.
She audits the grain accounts, sorts out the treacherous servants, and restores the army's morale with a pot of rice. He protects her with his blade, shields her from the snow, and gives her the only piece of meat in his bowl.
She can't fight, but can spot a conspiracy in a grain of rice. He isn't good with words, but saves the best things in the entire household for her.
When the chance to return to the modern world finally appears, Mai Mengmeng looks at the steaming pot on the stove and the general at her side, and suddenly realizes that the place she wants to return to may not feel as much like home as this one does.
