Back to the 1980s: I Won Over My Stoic Husband with Good Food
Food blogger Su Nian wakes up in the 1980s, in the family compound of a machinery factory, in the body of its best-known pushover.
With a bare-bones home, a hostile in-law family, and a taciturn engineer husband, Lin Weiguo, who treats her like a stranger, Su Nian rolls up her sleeves. No problem.
A golden finger? She has the Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritance System! Long-lost palace pastries? A secret hundred-year-old braised meat recipe? She can whip them all up with ease!
Difficult relatives? Watch her shut her mother-in-law up with a plate of braised wild greens and rice, then fill the whole family compound with the irresistible aroma of her braised specialties!
Starting a business is hard? From getting chased off while street vending, to landing the factory's sports day catering contract, to buying a dilapidated riverside shack and opening Nian's Kitchen, she leads a group of sisters in business and steadily expands her food empire!
But why is her formerly cold and distant, tight-lipped husband looking at her differently by the day?
When people make things difficult for her, he quietly brings in reinforcements. When she lacks pots and stoves, he works through the night on a design. When someone sabotages her, he crosses city and county lines to find scarce supplies for her...
By the time Su Nian's food empire is taking shape, she is standing on an awards podium when the man finally pulls her into his arms. He whispers in her ear, his voice hoarse but resolute:
“I was blind before. Now, my child and I are both yours to manage.”
