Plot

Lin Kesong (played by Song Zuer), a little girl with a gift for taste, likes her classmate Song Yiran (played by Liu Dongqin) and chased her to Shanghai, where she accidentally met Jiang Qianfan (played by Ruan Jingtian), a Michelin-starred chef. Jiang Qianfan took Lin Kesong as his apprentice and taught her cooking skills, and they also prepared to participate in a cooking competition three months later. Although Lin Kesong has a genius sense of taste, he knows nothing about cooking. After Jiang Qianfan's devilish training and innovation, Lin Kesong actually has her own set of special cooking skills, and she gradually found confidence in the process and became a better version of herself. During this process, Song Yiran gradually fell in love with Lin Kesong, and Jiang Qianfan also recovered his sense of taste. In the culinary competition, Lin Kesong won the championship in one fell swoop, and in love, he and Jiang Qianfan finally achieved a positive result.[3]
