Introduction

Callous and eccentric CEO Lu Jin checks into a hotel to conduct acquisition research. He is dissatisfied with everything he sees, but a last-minute dish whipped up by sous-chef Gu Shengnan blows his mind. Out of the hotel, the two are arch enemies, vowing to stay as far away from the other as they can. But in the kitchen, they share a mutual appreciation and love for fine cuisine. In the tug-of-war between contempt and fondness, which side will win?
