Disgraced before her wedding, she was about to be thrown into a pond. Foodie Bai Zhaozhao had barely transmigrated before she was fighting to survive. Her missing parents and leaky, dilapidated house left her utterly overwhelmed.
And then there was the baby in her belly, with no father in sight. But with medical care this poor, an abortion was more dangerous than giving birth.
Who says the baby has no father? I’m keeping the child and getting rid of the father, okay?
After binding to the Encyclopedia System, Bai Zhaozhao discovered that the Dead Man’s Mountain, which everyone in the village avoided, was practically a treasure trove.
Priceless matsutake and dried bolete mushrooms? She’d get them all!
Chili peppers, worth their weight in gold? She’d get those too!
When the fierce hunter’s wife next door gave Bai Zhaozhao half a steamed bun made with fine white flour as the villagers shunned her, Bai Zhaozhao gave her a braised-meat workshop worth a fortune in return.
The widows and orphaned girls struggling to survive in the village grew prosperous with the handicraft techniques Bai Zhaozhao taught them.
The village’s elderly and alone all had someone to rely on in their old age, and Bai Zhaozhao became a famous businesswoman across the region.
The old widow beamed as she held her year-end bonus, while the old scholar clutched his books and lamented bitterly.
Women should stay home, support their husbands, and raise their children. Going out and showing their faces in public?
Stringing copper coins into a chain? What kind of behavior is that!
With border conflicts flaring up, the emperor sent Prince Ding to put an end to the fighting.
But why had the man who was supposed to head north appeared in the southern frontier?
Bai Zhaozhao stared at the cold-faced man before her, speechless.
Rumors that she was looking for a husband spread everywhere. Xiao Lingzhou gritted his teeth. “Bai Zhaozhao, where else do you think you’ll find a better man? Am I not good enough?”
Bai Zhaozhao rolled her eyes. “Your Highness, Prince Ding, narcissism is an illness. You should get it treated.”
