Zhao Shiliang (played) is the young master of the Zhao family in Beijing. He hangs out in casinos on weekdays, but because Zhao's kitchen is very famous in Beijing, he has been trained as a gourmet since he was a child. He is very picky about food, but he can only taste but not cook! Zhao Shiliang has a friend Wu Zhou (played by Xu Jinjiang) who grew up together in the palace. He is the head of the palace guards and can play in the palace. When he was playing football, he happened to meet Prince Gan Long, who had not yet ascended the throne, and became friends with him! Later, Zhao Shiliang was angry with his parents because he wandered around the casino all day, which made the Zhao family decline and was oppressed by outsiders. Zhao Shiliang rallied and practiced cooking diligently, and won the competition with the chef on the first floor of the world. In the end, he won two out of three games, which restored the prosperity of the Zhao family. Zhao Shiliang entered the palace to apply for the position of chef, and eventually eliminated many opponents to become chefs. With his skills and brains, he became the chief chef and was deeply loved by Qianlong!

Later, Li Tianle (played by Liu Zhaoming), the eunuch general manager, escaped from the palace and went to Hangzhou with his goddaughter Zhao Shanshan (played by Ruby Lin) to open a small restaurant called Fuduolai. Zhou Bin (played by Julian Chen) likes Zhao Shanshan since he was a child, but he is very miserable, because his father sent him to the palace as a eunuch when he was a child, but he still can't give up Shanshan in his heart, so he hides his identity and associates with Shanshan. Finally, his identity was exposed. Shanshan was angry that Zhou Bin cheated him, left Zhou Bin and chose.
