Modern gourmet food blogger Ye An'an time-travels, spending her wedding night alone in an empty room, becoming Crown Prince Xiao Jingshi's neglected imperial concubine. Relying not on vying for favor, she mounts a counterattack with her supreme gourmet skills—pancakes, spicy hot pot, braised dishes, and stinky tofu take the Eastern Palace by storm in turn, capturing the taste buds of the crown prince, the emperor, empress, and little imperial prince. The two partner up to open an eatery to earn disaster-relief money, and later Xiao Jingshi goes to Jiangnan to control floods, with Ye An'an writing an advanced manual to help him curb the plague. From an awkward concubine guarding an empty bridal chamber to the apple of the crown prince's eye, with everyday gourmet food she warms the cold Eastern Palace to the core, writing a sweet and refreshing court gourmet romance story.
