Qiao Yuyan, who lives in a modern bustling city, is a female chef with infinite love for food. Not only does she own a well-known restaurant, she is also well-known among diners for her exquisite cooking skills and unique seasoning secrets. However, an unexpected time-travel event caused a dramatic change in her life trajectory.
While trying out a newly developed secret spice, a sudden bolt of lightning struck the kitchen where Qiao Yuyan was sitting. Her vision went dark. When she woke up, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar environment - the bustling marketplace of an ancient empire. Without the support of modern technology and ingredients, Qiao Yuyan faced unprecedented challenges. But with her persistent pursuit of food and rich cooking knowledge, she decided to start a new journey in this era.
At the beginning, she only relied on some simple ancient ingredients and cleverly used local flavor characteristics to make delicious and fragrant food, and gradually gained popularity in the market. As the business boomed, Qiao Yuyan opened her own restaurant and gradually expanded it into a chain operation. Her delicious food was even favored by the royal family.
After experiencing struggles with local bullies, jealous peers, and palace intrigues, Qiao Yuyan eventually established a huge food empire in ancient society with her intelligence, strong will, and constantly innovative cuisine. Not only did she become the richest woman in the world, she also promoted exchanges between different classes with her delicious food and became a symbol of social progress and cultural integration.
The storyline is great.
