A modern-day dieting fanatic unexpectedly travels back in time to a dynasty where plumpness is considered beautiful. In a nation where everyone strives for a fuller figure, her overly bony physique is regarded as an ill omen, and she is relentlessly mocked. But no one could have imagined that this unwanted skinny woman possesses extraordinary culinary skills. The emperor, who has suffered from a loss of appetite for years, is won over by the delicacies she cooks herself and begins an endless quest to sneak meals from her. With her preference for a slender figure and her exceptional cooking, she gradually transforms the entire palace's standards of beauty, rising from a universally despised bag of bones to become an empress and changing the aesthetic ideals of an entire dynasty.
