Bo Hanyan is the well-known head of Yuanshan in the city.
Cool and taciturn, obsessive about cleanliness, exacting in his tastes, and carrying an unrelenting chill deep within.
He has seen delicacies from every corner of the world and tasted famous dishes from mountains and seas, yet not a single morsel has ever caught his eye.
That is, until the new head chef, Xun Ernan, breaks through all his defenses with a bowl of borscht made from a modified recipe.

Everyone says Xun Ernan doesn't know how to compromise.
Just to keep her ingredients fresh, she has lost her job three times. She won't give in an inch, and would rather be unemployed than pass off inferior ingredients as good ones.
Trouble brews in the kitchen, the boss makes things difficult, the timed tests are brutal, and everyone looks down on her.
She picks up her spatula and stands by the stove, holding her ground with her cooking skills.

Later, everyone knows that President Bo's sharp edges have softened completely.
He won't let anyone else touch his meals, but he lets Xun Ernan take charge of all three meals, year after year, warming the chill that fills him.
In a rainy alley one night, he takes off his suit and wraps it around her drenched body, admitting defeat in a low voice.
