Lin Yuezhen, a frail young heiress, opens her eyes to find she has become Lin Yuenian, the vicious widow everyone in Yunhe Village despises!
Fair skin and beauty? True. A sharp tongue and a fiery temper? Also true. And as a bonus, she has six children who flee from her as if she were a tiger!
Even more thrilling, the System helpfully informs her: A catastrophic drought will strike in two months. Prepare to flee famine.
Lin Yuezhen clutches the System that has suddenly bound itself to her and cries out to the heavens: “...I was just an artsy young woman who spent my previous life in the hospital. Why did I have to start on nightmare mode?!”
But the cheap rice and grain in the System shop are a godsend, and setting up a stall to sell chili sauce and cold rice noodles is wildly profitable. Even the children who used to avoid her start looking at her with less fear after tasting her cooking. “Mother... could I have another bowl?”
And so things gradually take a turn:
On the road to escape the famine, while others chew tree bark, she calmly sets up a pot and cooks ice jelly.
When refugees come to seize their food, she directs the kids to throw chili powder and make a tactical escape.
When an epidemic breaks out, the whole village follows her and cries, “Madam Lin, please carry us to victory!”
Years later, the villagers still love to talk about it:
How did the vicious widow who once dragged her entire family down manage to raise six children into six remarkable figures?
And how did she turn a desolate village into a prosperous county, while becoming the nation’s top food influencer along the way?
Looking back, the broken family she once had has long since become a warm home filled with lights, a place where talent flourishes and the most beautiful sight in a chaotic age.
“At first, Mother only wanted to survive. Later... I wanted to show you all a peaceful, prosperous world.”
No romance, just a focus on building a career. All the adorable kids are devoted to their mother. Gourmet food and wealth-building deliver feel-good thrills from start to finish. The whole family is packed with adorable kids, so there’s one bound to make you want children (just kidding). The System helps without being overpowered, and cozy daily life goes hand in hand with survival in a chaotic age.
