Chen Shao'an, a modern-day food delivery enthusiast, wakes up to find himself transported to an ancient imperial palace garden, wearing a T-shirt and oversized shorts with a gun pointed at his throat. To save his life, he lies and claims to be a royal chef, only to be dragged to the Imperial Kitchen for questioning. As it happens, the kitchen is in desperate need of a scapegoat after the previous royal chef was beaten to death. Liu Sanwei seizes the opportunity and decides to make Chen his replacement victim. At the critical moment, Chen's phone mysteriously appears floating in midair and can still connect to the internet, allowing him to order food delivery. Using a packet of instant noodles bought for just one cent with a new-user discount, he passes it off as 'Golden Silk Revitalizing Noodles' and wins the emperor Xiao Yan's favor. From then on, this fake royal chef relies on his food delivery cheat system to survive in the Imperial Kitchen and steadily climb the ranks.
