Transmigrating as a Military Wife: Cooking Delicious Food and Raising Kids to a Fortune

After transmigrating into the role of a spoiled military wife in the 1970s, Song Zhixia takes one look at the hungry, gaunt little dumpling and their poverty-stricken home, bare of all but four walls, and nearly drops dead on the spot! The original owner looked down on her rough-and-tumble officer husband, Jiang Yanchen, mistreated her own child, and let her awful relatives use her as a pawn. In the end, she was divorced and left to starve on the streets. Song Zhixia sneers. Spoiled? Giving up? Not a chance! With maxed-out cooking skills and a space stocked with delicacies from land and sea, how could she not turn her life around?

She steams soft, fragrant white buns and simmers red-braised pork until it’s tender and full of flavor. The little dumpling goes from timidly keeping his distance to chasing after her and calling her Mom, growing plump and round like a little tangyuan.

She secretly sets up a stall to sell hot-and-sour rice noodles and soy-braised pork knuckles, raking in the cash until she never has to bow to anyone again!

One moment, Jiang Yanchen is coldly demanding a divorce. The next, he’s squatting by the stove, gazing up at her and waiting to be fed. The rough soldier instantly turns into a devoted puppy. Anyone who dares bully his wife or child gets kicked out the door in his military boots!

Her awful sister-in-law comes over looking for trouble and expecting a free meal? Song Zhixia tosses down a wad of cash. “You can’t afford to eat at my house!”

She dishes out revenge and face-slapping, gets rich through food, and raises a little one alongside her devoted officer husband. In the 1970s, Song Zhixia rules the neighborhood and becomes the envy of everyone in the military housing compound!
