Su Wan wakes up one day to find that she has gone from being an inheritor of an intangible cultural heritage craft to a low-ranking palace maid in the Imperial Kitchen, where everyone takes their frustrations out on her!

Enough talk. First, she'll simmer a pot of Su-style sauce and win over the Crown Prince's appetite. Staying alive is what matters!

But just after she makes a name for herself with her skills, someone frames her for trying to murder the Empress Dowager.

In a desperate bid to save herself, she stakes her life on a deadline: if she can't clear her name within three days, she'll be beheaded.

The Crown Prince, Xiao Jingheng, is nearby in disguise as an adviser. He raises an eyebrow and asks, "What will you do when time runs out?"

Su Wan: "I still have one last trump card."

Xiao Jingheng: "What trump card?"

Su Wan: "The Crown Prince has no appetite without my Su-style sauce. If I can't survive, I'll poison him and take him down with me!"

Xiao Jingheng: ...?

That's your trump card? That's a threat!
