The narrative unfolds during the 19th century in China, during the Qing Dynasty when the Emperor was weakened and the nation teetered on the brink of chaos. This period is also known as "The Era of the Cooking Wars," an era where renowned chefs from different culinary traditions vied for supremacy and recognition. In this land, disrespecting a distinguished chef or meddling with cooking could lead to imprisonment. Impersonating a top-chef was considered equivalent to usurping authority. Chefs competed fiercely to gain respect and power but also faced the risk of losing everything.
