The Divine Chef's Little Prodigy Breaks Ties and Flees Famine, Then Storms the Military Base to Find Her Father

Su Ruoxi, a master chef who had cooked for state banquets, poured her heart and soul into recreating an ancient feast, only to be sent to her death by a jealous junior fellow apprentice who slipped poison into her celebratory wine.

When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn as a five-year-old girl in the 1960s, who shared her name!

From the start, it was hell mode: natural disasters and human calamities, famine everywhere. She and her three-year-old brother were locked in a pigsty by their cruel grandmother, fed nothing but filthy water and pig slop. Worse, they were about to be sold to human traffickers in exchange for a bag of coarse black-flour buns!

The beatings and scolding from vicious relatives, the stench of the pigsty, her little brother’s frail cries... The glory and dignity of her previous life were crushed into the dirt.

But how could the soul of a master chef ever give in?

She knew her herbs and could identify mushrooms. What others saw as roots and tree bark became life-saving food in her hands.

She dug for wild greens and caught fish and shrimp. Her cooking skills from her previous life let her create culinary miracles in the depths of despair.

Taking her young brother with her, she resolutely cut ties with her awful relatives and set out on the long road of fleeing famine.

“Big sister, I’m hungry...”

“Don’t be scared. As long as I’m here, I won’t let you go hungry!”

From the pigsty to the wide world, from a bullied little girl to a bringer of good fortune, Su Ruoxi used her astonishing culinary skills to carve out a place for herself in an impoverished age.

After countless hardships, she brought her brother into a heavily guarded military district, determined to find the officer father who was said to have “died in service” long ago. The entire military compound erupted over the arrival of this little girl.

And when the cold, amnesiac officer tasted a familiar flavor, his eyes reddened...

“This taste... It’s like the food my wife used to make...”

Su Ruoxi planted her hands on her hips. “Reporting, Sir! That’s my mom! If you want to marry her, you’ll have to get past me first!”
