Everyone knew that the legitimate daughter of the Ran family had suffered from a speech disorder as a child. When she grew up, rumors claimed her face was covered in pockmarks and that she bullied her half-sister. No one dared to marry her.
What they didn’t know was that her soul came from the modern world, and she was born with a talent for cooking.
They didn’t know she was the sole disciple of the Night God, whose lightness skills were the best in the world.
They didn’t know she wore a human-skin mask every day just to conceal her peerless beauty.
And they certainly didn’t know that the “Fish Girl” who turned the people of Beiming from never eating fish to never wanting to be without it was none other than her.
Only the Medical Sage secretly rejoiced, for he alone had discovered her virtues!
“Medical Sage, the Fish Girl has lost her human-skin mask. It looks like she’ll have to show her real face.”
“I’ll bring her one right away. No, ten!”
“Medical Sage, someone’s causing trouble at the Fish Girl’s restaurant.”
“I’m going to see which blind fool has the nerve to do such a thing!”
…
“Medical Sage, the Fish Girl says she only wants to escape poverty and that you should stop hovering around her. You’re getting in the way of her making money.”
