The Sweetest Taste of Mid-Autumn

share time: 2025-10-07 12:30:24

Lin Xiaoman, a corporate slave, fears the Mid-Autumn Festival more than anything—while others reunite with family, she works overtime until midnight, even too busy to eat the osmanthus mooncake her mom left. But this year, when she helps a lost elderly person deliver mooncakes, she’s bound to the 'Mid-Autumn Ultimate Taste System'! The system gives an ultimatum: create the 'ultimate human flavor' in three days, or be trapped in an eternal Mid-Autumn loop. To break free, Lin Xiaoman has to turn to her sarcastic neighbor Lu Shiyan—the man who calls himself a 'gourmet genius'—who mocks her for 'kneading dough like cement' yet secretly prepares the osmanthus honey her mom used; who laughs at her 'charcoal mooncakes' yet stays up all night to re-adjust the filling. Amidst chaotic cooking failures, they go from bickering to standing side by side: drying osmanthus on the balcony together, delivering hand-made mooncakes to the nursing home, and eating burnt 'dark mooncakes' under the moon. When Lin Xiaoman finally makes the 'ultimate flavor' approved by the system, she realizes the most precious thing is never the perfect mooncake—it’s turning a 'lonely Mid-Autumn' into a 'mutual healing' warmth with Lu Shiyan.
