After his wife passes away, renowned chef Jiang Yi falls into a deep slump and can barely afford even his daughter Niannian's school fees. Determined to get his life back on track, he borrows money to buy a secondhand tricycle and starts selling golden egg fried rice at the night market. Drawing on years of culinary expertise, from selecting rice and refining oil to controlling the heat, he gradually wins over his customers. Later, when his daughter returns to kindergarten, he becomes a food education consultant, improving children's meals and overseeing ingredient quality. This brings him into closer contact with Shen Qingwan. With nothing but a wok and a ladle, Jiang Yi rebuilds his life and gives Niannian a warm and secure home.
