Modern food blogger Jiang Wanwan unexpectedly binds herself to the “One Becomes Two Chef God System.” The moment she opens her eyes, she finds she's transmigrated into a poor village girl in ancient times, so destitute the family has nothing to its name.
Her father is missing, her mother has remarried, her brother is gravely ill, and she herself is broken.
Faced with this disastrous start, Jiang Wanwan rolls up her sleeves. “So what if we're poor? I'll use my cooking to defy fate!”
From roadside stalls to restaurants, and from the county town to the imperial capital, she makes a fortune with her extraordinary culinary skills and accidentally becomes the richest person in the country.
But... what's with that poor scholar who keeps showing up for free meals?
At first, she thinks he's just a penniless student.
Later...
He places first in the imperial examinations, enters government service, rises through the ranks, and eventually becomes the Grand Secretary with power over the entire court!
Jiang Wanwan: “???”
Wasn't I supposed to be the heroine of my own story?
No, people who gamble also want it, they are not afraid of betrayal
