[Quirky, career-minded sweetheart + cold on the outside, warm on the inside, doting husband + both are each other's first and only + fictional setting]
Shen Xiaoyuan inexplicably transmigrated to ancient times. The thatched cottage behind her was still burning, and her widowed mother clutched her, weeping: “My son is gone, and now the child bride I bought with silver is leaving too?!”
She raised chickens with her stepmother, cooked delicious food, opened a shop, and struck business deals. Just as life began to look hopeful, a handsome young man with amnesia fell from the sky.
What could she do? Bring him home as free labor, of course. With her free help, she set to work on Western cuisine, which soon became all the rage. The emperor even summoned her to the capital and named her the “Imperial Western Cuisine Chef.”
Her career was flourishing, and love wasn't about to fall behind. Looks-obsessed Shen Xiaoyuan couldn't resist the wolfish young man's handsome, aloof exterior and fiery heart.
But as they went about their lives, the young man turned out to be a general's son, and Shen Xiaoyuan turned out to be the daughter of an official. They had even been betrothed as children...
“Feng Shaoqi, it turns out we were made for each other.”
I like the heroine's character 🤤
