Qin Chuan spends all his savings to reclaim the old restaurant his father left behind. Yet Zhou Kai, his childhood friend and apprentice whom he once supported wholeheartedly, leads the entire kitchen staff in pressuring him to hand over half the restaurant's shares. They even mock Qin Chuan's disabled right hand, injured in a fire, in front of everyone! As his ancestral cleaver falls to the ground and blood stains it, Qin Chuan awakens the Myriad Flavors Chef God System, gaining the abilities to correct knife skills, calculate cooking temperatures and timing, and sense ingredients. After enduring countless hardships and finding himself at the end of his rope, Qin Chuan reopens the nine-hole dragon stove that has been sealed away for twenty years. Without relying on expensive ingredients, he uses traditional charcoal-roasting techniques and dried ingredients to slowly simmer fifteen jars of authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in golden broth, crushing all his opponents' schemes against the odds.
