After the sudden death of Su Jinhe, a modern social beast, he transformed into the lowest cook in the fictional dynasty who had just been demoted to the cold palace and was about to starve to death. Faced with being forced to take sides by the queen, framed and poisoned by her beloved concubine, and courted by the prince, she had the modern soul of a "food connoisseur" but a poor cooking skills, so she chose to do the opposite -
She did not fight for anything, and focused on developing "bad dishes": giving bitter melon sashimi that means "the heart is as calm as water" to the jealous concubine, serving stir-fried bamboo shoots with bamboo sticks to the prince who was "promoted step by step" but was actually unpalatable, and giving the ugly wowotou with the "mother's love for the world" to the queen who was looking for trouble.
Her "showing off" is incompatible with the exquisite hypocrisy of the palace. Instead, because of her too real and sharp complaints (only in her heart) and the dark cuisine that unexpectedly "cured" the tyrant's anorexia, she attracted the attention of the emperor Xiao Jingheng, who was vicious on the surface but was actually deeply lonely in power. Xiao Jingheng transferred her to the imperial court. He originally wanted to watch a show, but he gradually became obsessed with her unconventional liveliness and most authentic attitude towards food.
In the whirlpool of palace battles that Su Jinhe was forced to get involved in again and again, he used modern thinking and "food psychology" (actually a coincidence of a blind cat and a dead mouse) to resolve crises and counter-murder plots. From a little cook who could be bullied by everyone, he was promoted to a special being in charge of the royal meals and affecting the structure of the previous harem. Finally, he joined hands with the tyrant to use "atypical" royal meals to stir up the frozen hearts of the palace and regain the true feeling of "alive".
