The Blessed Girl Top Scholar's Feast of Delicacies

Reborn into ancient times, Lin Xu Wan, the youngest daughter of the Lin family, was born with a lucky koi constitution. The fish she caught were always plump, and even a casual stroll could turn up a hundred-year-old lingzhi mushroom! The only daughter in the family, she had two doting older brothers who were utterly devoted to their little sister, while her parents cherished her in the palms of their hands. Lin Xu Wan’s life was blissfully comfortable.

She had wanted to be a carefree slacker, but her strict father sent her off to school. She never expected that her hidden scholarly talent would quietly reveal its brilliance through brush and ink. In her spare time, she experimented with flavors and cooked for her teacher’s family, bringing clever ideas to everyday home cooking. She sat the imperial examinations all the way to the top, becoming a female top scholar decked out in red and finery. From the study to the bustling streets, she built her business all the way to the foot of the imperial palace. When the emperor asked what she wanted, all she wished for was to return home and become a low-ranking county magistrate. No, wait...
