After transmigrating, Yu Shiqi, a food queen worth billions, finds herself a poor village girl in ancient times, saddled with a debt of a hundred taels and about to be sold into slavery.
Faced with an empty house, an overbearing and unreasonable grandmother, and a mountain of debt, Yu Shiqi just smiles. A pot from the start? Now that’s something she knows how to handle!
Half a free-range hen for the broth, a handful of flour for the crust: with a little magic, she turns them into “Fairy Cakes,” whose irresistible aroma sweeps through the whole village and lets her charge a fortune! Free samples? Scarcity marketing? Brand building? She reinvents the ancient commercial district!
From then on, the food industry of the Great Yong Dynasty is hit with a whole new level of competition: street food stalls become all the rage among the nobility; reservations at private kitchens are booked three years in advance; chain restaurants spring up across the land; even enemy spies arrive and immediately order ten takeout meals!
Unreasonable relatives beg to ride her coattails? Sorry, you dug your own pit! Rivals try to steal her recipes? They’re confidential, thanks! Powerful nobles try to use their influence to seize her business? A certain prince or general appears with a cold expression: “Touch her? Did you ask my stomach first?”
