Gu Yinuo, an executive at a modern restaurant chain, dies of overwork and wakes up as Shen Sui, the doomed legitimate daughter of the Shen family, a merchant family in Linshui.
The moment she opens her eyes, three awful things happen in a row: her fiance has climbed the social ladder and publicly broken off their engagement; her paternal uncle takes advantage of her father's death to seize the family fortune and shops; and her grandmother only has eyes for her useless male cousin.
Luckily, the pixiu jade pendant passed down through the Shen family lights up.
Ding! The Pixiu Fortune-Bringing System has been activated. Host, congratulations on becoming the only person in this dynasty to be bound to it.
Beginner's mission: Earn your first pot of gold within three days. Reward: an exclusive hot soup noodle recipe.
From then on, a little girl selling hot soup noodles from a street stall appears on Linshui's streets.
Later, everyone knows that the woman who makes the most money in the Great Sheng Dynasty is surnamed Shen.
Note: This is a food-themed tale of face-slapping and business warfare, with a devoted one-on-one romance and no betrayal. Sweet and satisfying, with no angst.
