Su Xiaoman, a girl from a humble family, accidentally enters the palace and becomes the lowest-ranked "Cai Ren" (Talented Lady). She never seeks the emperor's favor—her only daily wish is to secretly hide pork hocks from the imperial kitchen and nibble them in the side hall, her face glistening with oil. However, her unpretentiousness unexpectedly touches everyone: the emperor, tired of concubines' fake smiles, is drawn to her satisfied look while eating and comes to "crash her meals" daily; the queen mother, craving folk sugar melons, is moved when Xiaoman climbs the palace wall to buy them, calling her "darling granddaughter"; even the empress is won over by her "food sharing" and teaches her to make osmanthus cakes... Xiaoman, who wanted to drift through life, unknowingly becomes the palace's favorite—but she's still worrying: should tonight's pork hock be spicy or braised?
