A love that happens only once in a lifetime is a form of pure emotional vegetarianism. Tang Shizhe (played by Zeng Jiang) is a famous chef in Hangzhou, not only skilled in cooking but also very strict with his two daughters: family dinners are a must every weekend, and the table must only have vegetarian dishes. His two daughters, Tang Wa’er (played by Huo Siyan) and Tang Xiaolan (played by Jiang Mengjie), embrace all modern cultures and enjoy meat, often approaching these family rituals with a dismissive attitude, and are only vaguely aware of their own romantic lives. Tang Wa’er is a typical urban white-collar worker, running a high-end club, and is in a May-December relationship with game designer Zhang Quan (played by Lan Zhenglong). Zhang Quan is a typical homebody, familiar with a world where “one plus one surely equals two,” but this simple and direct game rule encounters obstacles in romance, leaving him confused. Zhang Quan's aunt Bai Ping (played by Gui Yalei) is flirtatious and outspoken but is actually lonely and empty inside. Seeing Zhang Quan as her own son, she desperately wants to arrange a marriage between him and Wa’er, thus volunteering to assist in matchmaking in Hangzhou. Unexpectedly, the process is like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden; no serious business is achieved, yet it disrupts the already tumultuous relationship between Wa’er and Zhang Quan. As Zhang Quan and Wa’er face a breakup, Tang Shizhe suddenly announces he will close the “Good Feng Shui” restaurant. Bai Ping inadvertently participates in the last dinner prepared before the restaurant’s closure. When the final dish is served, it unveils a long-buried story from over half a century ago, leaving everyone heartbroken. Is love merely an optional embellishment, or is it a lifelong yearning? In the face of this vegetarian romance, several young people find their own love and their own dish…
