Lin Wan, a modern food blogger and inheritor of traditional Chinese medicine, accidentally dressed up as Liu Afei, a fat peasant daughter-in-law from Qingxi County in the Dajing Dynasty. The original owner was lazy and mean, and treated her husband Liu Yanzhi, a scholar who was paralyzed and comatose, harshly, and made things difficult for his two brothers-in-law, leaving the Liu family impoverished and infamous.
In a desperate situation, Lin Wan relied on her good cooking skills to turn coarse grains and wild vegetables into delicacies, which first stabilized the stomachs of her family and improved her reputation. Then she used her exclusive recipe to get acquainted with Shen Muyan, the young owner of Weixiangzhai in the town, and in exchange for the first pot of gold, she purchased medicinal materials for Liu Yanzhi. She carefully treated Liu Yanzhi with her traditional Chinese medicine skills, awakening Liu Yanzhi from a coma, and helped him recover and regain his ambition to take the imperial examination.
After that, Lin Wan led her brother-in-law to open up wasteland, buy real estate, and expand the food business, from rural stalls to the national chain "Wanxiang Pavilion"; with her support, Liu Yanzhi passed the imperial examinations and counterattacked in the officialdom, and finally became the prime minister of the dynasty after going through ups and downs. Shen Muyan fell in love with Lin Wan's talent and character, never married, and built Weixiangzhai into a multinational business gang, silently guarding her.
From a humble family to a prosperous prime minister, from being despised by everyone to being admired by thousands of people, Lin Wan used her cooking skills to help the world, and her wisdom to protect her family. She and Liu Yanzhi went both ways to help their family and brothers overcome difficulties, and even made friends with nobles and close friends. In the midst of poverty alleviation in farming, officialdom, and business, Lin Wan wrote a legendary story of "a fat cook and her husband become the prime minister".
