In her previous life, Luo Guixiang spent ten years cooking at banquets for her maternal family. Her mother forced her to marry Boss Zheng in exchange for her younger brother's bride price. Eventually, unable to afford medical treatment, she died in the kitchen. Reborn in the spring of 1986, she returns to the very day she was being forced to sign divorce papers. This time, she tears up the divorce agreement, takes back the banquet money, and joins forces with her husband, Zhou Dayong, a cart puller, to buy a large courtyard and establish their own business, opening the Guixiang Kitchen. Facing her parasitic younger brother Luo Yaozu, her biased mother Du Jinhua, the troublemaking butcher Hu Debiao, and the silk shop owner Boss Zheng, who wants to take over her kitchen, she refuses to give in any longer. She settles every debt from the past ten years, drives all the villains away, and uses her exceptional cooking skills to build a home of her own.
