Zhou Xuan, a modern cook who traveled to the Tang Dynasty, is timid and gentle, and just wants to open a tavern in Chang'an City to live a stable life. Unexpectedly, fate played a huge joke on him - the beautiful woman Su Qingci he rescued was actually the prototype of the "Demon Concubine" recorded in history books, and was a key figure in triggering the "Tianbao Rebellion"!
What's even more outrageous is that this seemingly gentle and virtuous woman is actually a paranoid with twisted psychology. She determined that Zhou Xuan was her "destined one", and she would make anyone who dared to approach him disappear. From the gangsters on the streets of Chang'an, to the dignitaries in the court, and even the royal family members, any woman who expresses affection for Zhou Xuan will "die accidentally" inexplicably.
Zhou Xuan wanted to hide, but Su Qingci's gentle trap made him fall deeper and deeper. When he discovered that the "Magic Chef System" he had inadvertently acquired could change the direction of history, everything began to get out of control - every dish he cooked was reshaping the fate of the Tang Dynasty.
