Sweet Trap

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.

Zhao Jingjing and Jiang Jie formally meet at a dinner organized by people in the Alliance. Jiang Jie seeks out Zhao Jingjing alone and talks to her about Zhong Haiyang. Faced with Zhong Haiyang's vague responses, Zhao Jingjing already has a clear answer in her heart. She stubbornly believes that her father's heart only has Zhaoyeqing and not her as a daughter. In her sorrow and anger, she decides to take the initiative to challenge Jiang Jie in order to steal his knife.

On the day of the welcome banquet for Mr. Xu Kang, Jiang Xiu returns to the country. The Jiang family announces Jiang Xiu's appointment as the new head chef of Xijiangyue. However, at this critical moment, Li Nai suddenly receives news of Li Jidong's disappearance. Without even having the chance to greet her sister, Jiang Jie hastily leaves the banquet. With her father missing, Li Nai is consumed with worry.

After getting tricked by Jiang Xiu, Li Nai finds out that Li Ya is Jiang Jie's sister, Jiang Xiu. When they meet again, Li Nai is holding a grudge against her. Jiang Xiu challenges Li Nai to compete against each other with their sense of smell. Li Nai's sense of smell is a talent that she's proud of. But she loses to Jiang Xiu who's labeled as a genius.

Jiang Jie saves Li Nai from the reporters and sends her home. Then, he defends Li Nai in front of the media. Cui Can restores the broken knife from the Li family and finds out that it's the lost knife of the Li family that was once a member of the Seven Chefs. Li Nai realizes that she's the successor of the Li family under the Seven Chefs of Baichuan.

Song Ze claims to have clues about the ham, which arouses Li Nai's suspicion. As Song Ze's true colors come to light, his underlying jealousy is revealed. He plans to set fire to the kitchen to frame Li Nai.

Jiang Xiu is in a bad mood. She plays a shooting game in the night market after getting off work early. Coincidentally, she encounters Cui Can. Cui Can pursues Jiang Xiu persistently. He keeps her company when she's unhappy. Jiang Xiu becomes happier thanks to his accompaniment.

Li Nai goes home disappointedly. On her way home, she encounters Jiang Jie. She uses the opportunity to ask Jiang Jie to teach her. Jiang Jie imparts his experience and techniques to Li Nai. They spend the night in the kitchen. In order to find the flavors of nature and defeat Ge Qunshan, Jiang Jie drives to the suburbs to camp in the wild and experience the flavors of nature together with Li Nai.
