After marriage, head chef Chen Weidong handed over his entire salary, yet could not even afford cigarettes worth seven yuan five. After suffering exploitation and betrayal by his wife, he resolutely divorced, only to be scapegoated by a black-hearted boss and maliciously blacklisted by competitors. Holding family-inherited imperial chef recipes, he partnered with brothers to open a private kitchen, steadfastly maintaining the bottom line of ingredients. In the chef king arena, he broke through competitors' layers of conspiracies, stepped forward at the critical moment of a major birthday banquet, and saved the situation with exquisite culinary skills. Having experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, he guarded a chef's conscience, revitalized industry rules, harvested sincere affection, and lived out an ordinary person's dignity with his fiery culinary craft.
