Yi Chunxi (played by Mu Tingting), a rural girl from Henan Province, came alone to Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, to look for Zhang Dukang (played by Zhang Bing), a host of a TV food show, because she was infatuated with him. Zhang Zheng is a famous chef in a certain hotel. After Chunxi, by a strange twist of fate, became a handman by his side, she was only happy and began to try every possible way to please Zhang, but instead of getting love, she was brutally humiliated by Zhang. After a period of painful experience, Chunxi secretly made up her mind to become a renowned chef of Henan cuisine and make Zhang Dukang lose to her. Song Xiaoni (played by CAI Xiaoyi), the sister-in-law selling tea eggs, was someone Chunxi met when she first arrived in Zhengzhou. Chunxi was astonished that this plain-looking woman was actually the 36th generation descendant of the famous Song Dynasty chef Song Wushao. It was only because of the injustice in the culinary world where men were passed down rather than women that she failed to bring the immortal's culinary skills to life. After Chunxi became a disciple of Song Xiaoni, she began to learn to cook Henan cuisine under her guidance. In three years, she traveled all over the Central Plains in search of renowned chefs and masters, and mastered excellent cooking skills. The annual Central Plains Chef King Competition is about to start. She swears to prove herself and all the women of low status in the chef world. Her most formidable opponent was precisely Zhang Dukang.[Collapse]
