Born into a family that owns a world-renowned confectionery empire, this ambitious city girl is determined to elevate her father's legacy to global heights. While seeking to recruit a famous pastry chef, she discovers a brilliant, untapped talent in his son, Kokonotsu. Driven by the fear of such natural skill going to waste, she strikes a high-stakes deal: she will secure the father's employment only if she can successfully mentor Kokonotsu to become the next master of the shop.
