To save his younger sister, Zhou You, who has been unconscious for three years, chef Zhou Ye is dragged into the Hundred Ghosts Restaurant and becomes its owner. The customers are trapped in their regrets, and only dishes prepared to fulfill their deepest obsessions can end their endless cycles. With every completed order, his sister regains a little more vitality. After eight orders, the Black Gate will open. Zhou Ye resolves the obsessions surrounding birthdays, returning home, grandparent-grandchild reunions, and ghost marriages, but discovers that every happy ending comes at the cost of a memory. The identity of Xiao Qi, the red-clothed guide, remains a mystery, while Lord Hei harbors a secret from thirteen years ago. To save his sister and help Xiao Qi rediscover herself, Zhou Ye uses evidence from the orders to turn the restaurant's ledger against itself, expose the trap behind its seemingly perfect endings, and put an end to the old rules. However, another version of himself appears in his real-world restaurant, and new rules quietly begin to emerge.
