The long 27 years of the life of the older single woman Shui Ruobing can be summed up with two short words — disheartened. According to her mother, known as "Empress," Shui Ruobing is a typical product with three deficiencies: no looks, no education, and no assets. A girl like this, if she doesn’t get married before 30, is likely to remain a single woman for life. In a bizarre blind date, Shui Ruobing accidentally broke a heirloom jade of a passerby, incurring a debt of 3 million. With the help of her best friend, Shui Ruobing learns that if she can become a disciple of the renowned chef Mi Qing and learn to make colorful glutinous rice, she can secure a position as an executive chef with an annual salary of one million at the FM Group. Chef Mi Qing, left with no escape, reluctantly agrees to take her as a student. The kind-hearted Mi Qing allows Shui Ruobing to live in his home. The pair, a lonely man and woman, awkwardly begin a cohabitation that is both teacher-student and friends. During their time living together, Shui Ruobing uses her enthusiasm and sunny smile to gradually melt the stern Mi Qing, who had been as taciturn as a fossil. On the other hand, Shui Ruobing's tenacity and open-minded nature start to earn Mi Qing's admiration, and she slowly realizes that she has fallen in love with him. After experiencing panic upon entering the workplace, Shui Ruobing's stubborn and unyielding personality gradually earns her colleagues' recognition. She also faces the person who once humiliated her, Tang Dong, with a sense of poise. In an incident where she stands up for her teacher, she again offends her "rival" Tang Dong by spilling coffee all over him. Tang Dong starts various methods to torment Shui Ruobing, not realizing that her easy-going nature makes her immune to his tricks; she handles each challenge beautifully, leaving him speechless, and in the process, Tang Dong gradually falls in love with her. On one hand, there’s her hopeless love for Mi Qing, while on the other, there’s the fervent pursuit from the wealthy young master Tang Dong, putting Shui Ruobing in a dilemma. The pressure from her mother, the "Empress," her best friend's sudden marriage, and the burden of a 3 million debt all push her closer to Tang Dong. Amidst misunderstandings, Mi Qing, who had opened his heart to Shui Ruobing, mistakenly believes that she has accepted Tang Dong’s pursuit, and the bond between teacher and student grows distant… The enemies of FM, seeking to retaliate against Tang Dong, inadvertently involve Shui Ruobing. One day, she accidentally discovers a conspiracy of FM’s competitors and faces kidnapping. Fortunately, at a critical moment, Mi Qing and Tang Dong arrive at the scene to rescue her. While the kidnapping incident unfolds, Tang Dong's FM Group is also framed. Shui Ruobing stands by Tang Dong through the toughest times, and moved by her support, he regains his composure, devises a plan, and unites all possible forces to reclaim his business empire. Through her own efforts, Shui Ruobing wins the championship in the Sunflower Cup Culinary Competition, fulfilling her father's last wish, completing her transformation into a young chef, and winning part of the prize money to pay off some debts. The most important gain during this time is that Shui Ruobing finally understands her love for Mi Qing is not just a hopeless endeavor but a promise of unwavering companionship for life and her longing for a simple, ordinary life. The misunderstandings between Mi Qing and Shui Ruobing are also clarified. Just as Tang Dong proposes to Shui Ruobing, she gives up the dazzling diamond ring, leaving him to search for her true love, Chef Mi Qing. Tang Dong returns to being his own chairman, beginning to write the next glorious chapter of his career, but losing the woman he loves the most. After experiencing various twists, misunderstandings, and trials, Mi Qing and Shui Ruobing become united at last.
