A modern food live-streamer Song Wenyiyi unexpectedly travels through time, becoming a down-and-out orphan driven out of her home after her clansmen seize her property, staging a desperate comeback solely with her cooking skills. Starting from a roadside stall, her juicy fried chicken fills the capital with fragrance, and her mango snow dumplings spark a craze in the imperial palace, prompting aristocratic ladies and palace maids to rush and buy them. Repeatedly plotted against during the royal female chef competition—with ingredients stolen and firewood and water cut off—she achieves an ultimate counter-attack using vegetarian ingredients like tofu and lotus root, turning homely dishes into royal delicacies. Finally defeating the imperial chefs to win the championship, she is titled 'Folk Imperial Chef', warming the entire capital with a bowl of mortal fireworks.
