After her dependent grandfather's passing, Qin Huoran faced even greater challenges - a group of arrogant and bossy relatives, a verbal engagement enforced against her will, a peculiar illness that robbed her of her sense of taste, and a cookbook called "The Recipes of Mountains and Rivers" that contained all sorts of strange and unusual dishes. Despite the two paths arranged by her grandfather, Qin Huoran chose not to return to the Qin family who had once abandoned her, nor to follow her "seemingly righteous" fiancé to the Shen family. Instead, she decided to fulfill her grandfather's final wish, open the cookbook, break free from conventional customs, and spread the allure of cuisine throughout the world. The fiancé, who seems "unscrupulous" and "self-righteous," protested, "I am not like that! Don't make baseless accusations!"
