Transmigration + cooking and raising kids + household intrigue (and business rivalry) + everyday family life + lighthearted healing
Su Xiaonuan transmigrates into an ancient romance novel and becomes the wicked stepmother who abused her genius stepson! From the start, she is punished by being forced to kneel. Her son hates her, her whole family despises her, and she is about to be divorced and beaten to death.
Looking at the scrawny little boy before her, who nevertheless has an astonishing gift for arithmetic, former star operations manager Su Xiaonuan slaps her thigh. “Why bother with household intrigue? Isn’t making money and raising a child much better?”
A bowl of braised pork wins over her stepson’s appetite, and her spicy tornado potatoes conquer the whole street. She opens a food shop, builds a restaurant, and before she knows it, “Yunuanji” has become a famous brand across the capital.
She thinks she can enjoy a life of wealth and leisure, but then her son’s real father, her general husband, the cold-faced King of Hell of legend, suddenly returns. Even more alarming, her boy’s dazzling talent for mathematics draws the attention of the imperial family and brings to light a shocking mystery about his origins...
As royal households vie for the boy and a noble consort sends assassins after them, Su Xiaonuan wields a spatula in one hand and a ledger in the other, shielding her son behind her. “Anyone who wants to lay a finger on my boy will have to answer to the wok in my hand!”
See how a modern career queen, together with her genius boy and cold-faced husband, uses food and ingenuity to cook up a splendid future in a capital rife with danger!
