Other people transmigrate and live in comfort and luxury.
Jin Duoduo transmigrates and rides a wild dog into the imperial racecourse. She nearly gets her head chopped off, racks up a debt of a hundred thousand taels of gold, and gets a scheming fiancé, Qu Boyuan, thrown in by her rival. He doesn’t have a father who cares for him or a mother who loves him.
Her fiancé also has an incredibly expensive hobby: tossing silver into the water for fun.
She’s bankrupt from the start.
Luckily, she’s got seafood cooking skills to fall back on.
Garlic butter scallops, grilled oysters, geoduck sashimi, seafood hotpot;
lobster congee, braised sea intestines, pristine grouper, deluxe seafood platters;
Jin Duoduo: “I can’t afford to burn fox fur anymore. How about I make you more delicious food instead?”
Qu Boyuan eyes the seafood feast before him and gives his fan a flourish. “It’s only a hundred thousand gold. Come on, I’ll take you out to make money!”
The realm has been at war for years, and food is scarce? No problem. Dried fish, dried shrimp, dried kelp, dried seaweed: Jin Duoduo’s dried seafood is here to save the day. Money and fame, both achieved.
The emperor is short on silver? No problem. Seafood hotpots, seafood barbecue, seafood restaurants: Jin Duoduo is on the job. She becomes the empire’s foremost merchant.
Only later does she find out that her fiancé is the richest one on the other side.
After Jin Duoduo strikes it rich, the realm’s eligible young men all line up to propose!
Jin Duoduo: “Don’t bother me. Today, as always, I’m busy making money with my Boyuan, taking on corrupt merchants, corrupt officials, scheming green teas, and fake white lotuses!”
