Synopsis

【Feel-good story + Family life + Building a fortune with the army + A touch of ensemble cast + Food + Spatial Storage and Spirit Spring】 In her previous life, Li Xiulian, emaciated by chemotherapy, lay in a hospital bed as her two sons shirked her medical bills and her daughter pulled out her oxygen tube. It turned out that her daughter was the illegitimate child of her husband's long-lost love. And the husband she had catered to all her life had not only helped raise the girl, but also accidentally fallen off a cliff while pursuing his old flame. Her adopted daughter adored her second son, who served in the military, and destroyed him when he wouldn't return her feelings. Her eldest son, who favored boys over girls, leached off his wife and beat her. Her youngest son, a hypocrite who seemed dutiful and brought honor to the family by getting into college, cut ties with the woman he loved. When Li Xiulian opens her eyes again, she is back at forty-two. Her eldest son has been tormenting his wife, so she slaps him across the face again and again. Her adopted daughter has been stirring up trouble between her son and daughter-in-law. Li Xiulian beats her senseless and plans to take her to the police station. With a second chance at life, her daughters-in-law are treasures, and all the ungrateful wretches can get lost. She will follow her genuinely filial second son to his military posting and save his life. She refuses to spend another lifetime working like a beast of burden, alone and unsupported in old age, living her life as a joke. Who says a woman over forty is past her prime? Drawing on memories from her previous life, she builds a career, makes a fortune, and grows more radiant with every passing day. One day, at the military housing compound, she runs into a stern-faced but warmhearted senior officer. He eyes the braised pork knuckle in her hands and swallows. “Your cooking beats the mess hall's.” Li Xiulian raises an eyebrow. “Want some? Trade me that empty courtyard at your place.” Later, someone spots the decisive senior officer crouching in Li Xiulian's vegetable garden, picking tomatoes for her.

Looking for Food Novels! Incredible Cooking! Everything Looks Delicious!

Food novels! Modern-day or period settings are both fine. The protagonist should have amazing cooking skills, and running a street stall or opening a restaurant are both fine. I would like the process to be described in detail, preferably with food names as the chapter titles. Most importantly, there has to be a romantic pairing. I love watching other people fall in love, and romance and making money should both be part of the story.

If it is non-CP, then the book definitely deserves high marks. Isn't making money and building a career better than being a nanny for others?

It's quite good-looking, but Lu Wenwen's character design didn't feel that likable in the early stage, but I haven't finished watching it yet. I just watched it not long ago. I don't know what it will be like in the later stage, but it looks good now.

Seeing 146, almost the whole story revolves around the relationship between the heroine and the chief, with some family trivial matters and career situations interspersed in between. The chief has a daughter. In the early stage, he looked down on the heroine. She disliked the fact that the heroine was from the countryside and was not of high quality or level. It seems that there will be a reversal in the later stage, but I can't stand it anymore. I originally wanted to give it one star, but the story is actually quite well written and I personally really didn't like it, so I'll give it five stars as encouragement.

It's good-looking, but Lu Wenwen's character design in the early stage is really not likable, and there is also the aspect of spiritual spring water. I feel that the heroine will put this stuff no matter who the other person is. Su Wanqing is an example. The heroine didn't like her at first sight, but she still added spiritual spring water to her food. Fortunately, she brought it back directly after discovering what kind of person she was. Apart from these two, I haven't seen anything else that I think is bad, but it is still worth watching.

The characters are very full-bodied, the heroine is brave and resourceful, independent and self-reliant, and she is not overly gold-fingered. It is good-looking.

The parents are short-lived and the world is full of fireworks. Even the words they speak are natural and it is easy to get into the drama. The writing is natural without being pretentious. It is very good. I like to read it.
