After middle-aged woman Wang Xiuhua was abandoned by her husband, she ran the "Xiuhua Restaurant" all by herself. She accidentally discovered that her shop could connect the modern world with ancient times. Relying on her exquisite culinary skills and ingredients and seasonings procured from the modern era, she whipped up novel delicacies in ancient times such as braised pork, soup dumplings, crayfish, and snow-skin mooncakes, quickly conquering the commoners of the imperial capital and even members of the royal family. Princess Bao'er, Princess Zhaoyang, the Retired Emperor, and the Emperor were all captivated by her dishes and became regular customers.
