Shu Yulan, 59, died at the hands of her husband, Guo Haiyang. She spent half her life working herself to the bone and enabling her gambling-addicted husband, only to see her family ruined and her life destroyed.
When she opens her eyes again, she’s back in 1989, just starting at the textile mill and not yet acquainted with the man who would ruin her life!
Looking at the familiar factory buildings, she remembers how the factory went bankrupt and everyone went their separate ways in her previous life. Shu Yulan clenches her fists. When the factory cafeteria is put up for outside contractors, she acts without hesitation, borrows money from all her close friends to scrape together the deposit, and wins the contract.
Plain brown rice becomes delicate pastries, and bland dishes turn into delicious stir-fries. The cafeteria gets so popular that customers line up for a meal. In this life, she won’t waste her time on a no-good man. She’ll focus on her career, make a fortune with her cooking, and become the factory’s richest and most glamorous woman!
