[Farming + Feel-Good Story + Food + Business + Court Intrigue] The heroine’s main story follows her growth as a businesswoman.
After furiously washing three hundred plates at a hot pot restaurant, Su Miao faints. When she wakes, she’s in an unknown dynasty, right at the critical moment when a burly man is about to assault her on horseback. With help from the System, she manages to knock him out.
Just as she’s preparing to slip away, a man in white, his face veiled, appears gracefully in the doorway. He regards human life with the cold indifference of someone born to rule and says with amusement, “You’re quite the capable little girl.”
Su Miao: “...” You stood by and watched, then showed up to play the hero after it was over. I’m out of here.
Harassed by gossip in the streets, Su Miao takes on the family business alone.
With bold strokes, she takes charge and transforms the restaurant into a hot pot joint.
Sichuan-style spicy broth, tomato broth for two, numbing peppercorn and savory fresh flavors... There’s something for everyone.
Customers stream in without end. Su Miao slaps the table.
Time to open a chain!
She opens countless branches in the capital, Shengyang, and even Loulan, while suppliers of every kind of ingredient and dipping sauce clamor to work with her.
Once she’s amassed a fortune, Su Miao slaps the table again!
Time to get married! Find a husband!
The very next day, she meets a man with a gauzy veil over his face outside the restaurant. He’s tall and handsome, yet keeps insisting that his family has fallen on hard times and he can barely afford to eat.
Su Miao: “...” Why not take off that carved white jade hairpin, your fine mutton-fat jade pendant, your Suzhou-embroidered robe, and your Tianshan silk veil before you say that?
You think I won’t know who you are just because you’re wearing a veil?
It's quite interesting 😂
