Love is like flavor—once you’ve tasted it, you’ll never forget.
Wa’er is a successful manager at a luxurious health resort, while her father runs a famous vegetarian restaurant in Hangzhou. Her boyfriend, Zhang Quan, a game designer from Taipei, loves her but is often lost in his virtual world. Meanwhile, Zhang Quan’s aunt, Apple, who raised him like a son, struggles with loneliness, drowning herself in alcohol and nightlife.
Hoping to help Apple rebuild her life, Zhang Quan brings her back to Hangzhou, her hometown. However, her arrival stirs up unexpected tensions between Zhang Quan and Wa’er. When a sudden conflict erupts, their relationship is pushed to the breaking point.
At the same time, Wa’er’s father, secretly battling an illness, plans to close the restaurant. Determined to save both their family’s legacy and his health, Wa’er and her sister Xiao Lan step up to help. In the midst of it all, Apple finally confronts a secret she has kept for over fifty years.
As their lives intertwine, love, family, and tradition come together, proving that some flavors—like love—are unforgettable.
