Sweet Trap

Baichuan is famous for the gourmet cuisines of Seven Chefs. For more than 200 years, the Seven Chefs are the only five-star chefs. According to the rules of the Chef Alliance in Baichuan City, if a chef wants to rank up, that chef has to challenge another chef of the same rank in a knife-stealing challenge. The restaurant of the loser will be shut down and the loser's name will be removed from the industry. All who challenged the Seven Chefs failed. But the head chef of Chunxing, Jiang Jie, managed to become a five-star chef through the knife-stealing challenge in under a year. Jiang Jie holds a grudge against Xue Congming for refusing to take her in. So, he decides to challenge the Xue Clan first.

On the way home, Li Nai, who faced setbacks in opening a restaurant, runs into Jiang Jie. Learning that Jiang Jie lives in the same block, Li Nai proposes to taste his cooking. After trying Jiang Jie's snakehead fish noodles, Li Nai realizes that her cooking skills are far from being able to reclaim her master's knife.

Li Nai's mistakes while preparing the staff meal made Jiang Jie furious. She argues with him due to differing opinions. Li Nai wants to resign. Jiang Jie wishes to make her stay. He uses the meal she owes him as an excuse to try the head chef set in Zhaoyeqing. Jiang Jie tells her that he didn't choose her to be the warehouse keeper to pick on her. It's because Li Nai has a keen sense of smell. It gives her an advantage when it comes to identifying ingredients. He rescinds her resignation application.
