Taking place in 19th century China during the Qing Dynasty, the story is set in a time of political turmoil and weakened leadership. In addition to the chaos, a fictional era called "The Era of the Cooking Wars" has emerged where ambitious chefs compete for culinary superiority, with severe consequences for failure. In this cutthroat environment, overthrowing a top chef's authority is considered a criminal offense and can result in imprisonment.
Motivated by his mother's passing, Mao, a renowned chef known as the 'Fairy of Cuisine', aims to become a legendary chef like her. He journeys across China to perfect his craft, ultimately becoming a Super Chef. However, before Mao can claim the title of Master Chef of his mother's restaurant, he must confront fierce adversaries-turned-enemies.
In Volume 4, titled "The King of Tower," Mao faces his ultimate adversary. Rising in the ranks to become one of the top chefs in China, Mao competes in a culinary competition that pushes him to his limits. With everything on the line, including his reputation and friendships, Mao must rise above the competition and establish himself as the best chef in China.
