Lin Xiaoman, a modern-day Michelin-starred chef, transmigrates into the body of a poor farm girl in ancient times.
Faced with sickly parents, a baby brother crying to be fed, and an empty rice jar, Lin Xiaoman looks at the family heirloom cleaver in her hand and smiles calmly.
She makes a fortune with her skills, starting with a street stall selling scallion pancakes at the village entrance. Soon, she has opened shops throughout the capital and become the renowned owner of Manxianglou.
Along the way, she also "lures" the down-on-his-luck scholar Xie Jingxing home with one delicious meal after another.
One roof, two people, three meals a day through every season. Watch as she conquers the world with her cooking and, as a bonus, wins the top scholar as her husband.
