Ellie, an ordinary modern‑day worker, puts up with constant emotional abuse from her husband. One day she slips and is badly hurt. As she’s dying, she wishes she could live for herself — and suddenly she’s transported back to an old‑style world. She becomes a woman also named Ellie, who’s mistreated by her mother‑in‑law and her husband Owen. To protect her daughter Lucy, Ellie breaks free from the toxic family. She sells her keepsake and starts selling fried chicken from a street stall.
Her amazing fried chicken and fries win lots of customers. She pushes through all kinds of trouble caused by her ex‑husband Owen, her cruel mother‑in‑law, and rival restaurant owner Victor. She fights for her rights and builds an independent life. Later, Ellie wins a big food competition and gets her very own shop. Just as her business is going great, a royal messenger shows up. He invites her to try out as the palace chef, opening up a whole new chance for her and Lucy.
