[One-on-one romance, both leads chaste, gourmet food and getting rich, adorable child helps them along]
Transmigrate into a marriage meant to bring good fortune? First, kick the lid off this cursed coffin!
Modern culinary genius Lin Wantang opened her eyes to find herself tied inside a bamboo cage, about to be thrown into a pond
Her original body had been married off as a stand-in to bring good luck, but the groom was already dead!
The landlord’s family accused her of being “a husband-killer.” Her sick mother and young brother were about to be sold, while her parasitic grandmother brandished a cleaver and demanded repayment…
Hah! You think my modern skills are just for show?
Her spirit-spring space awakened. Stinky tofu took the whole village by storm, and wild-vegetable pancakes made the county magistrate’s wife drool!
But the cold-faced hunter who saved her kept staring at the birthmark on her wrist. “The food you make reminds me so much of someone I once knew.”
Later
She opened eateries, took on crooked merchants, and became an imperial merchant. Her chili sauce made its way into the palace, and the Third Prince gritted his teeth. “How dare a mere peasant girl oppose me?”
She splashed chili water at him. “Not sure if I dare? Try some!”
In the shadows, someone dropped a bloodstained arrow and pinned her against a granary wall. “Madam, you’re even quicker at wrecking someone’s business than I am at killing the enemy.”
Secret-identity reveal mini-scene:
“The God of War General pretended to be a hunter and tricked me into falling for him?”
“The descendant of a saintly maiden hid her identity and tricked me into helping her break the poison curse?”
They both reveal their secrets, then team up as husband and wife to beat anyone who dares challenge them!
See how a modern cook uses a single iron wok to turn ancient power struggles upside down and become the general’s cherished queen of his heart!
