[Transmigration into a book + running a business + food + no golden finger]
Cheng Shuhe, a food blogger with a million followers, is hit by a car and killed, then transmigrates into a farming novel she once read.
To make matters worse, she has become the heroine’s doomed cannon-fodder cousin.
When she is eight, a drought strikes, and her grandmother sells her to a human trafficker.
The money she earns as a maid in the Marquis’s residence and sends home is seized by her grandmother.
It goes toward funding her uncle’s studies, helping her male cousin marry and start a family, and paying for her female cousin to learn embroidery.
After she is beaten with ten strokes of the rod and thrown out of the Marquis’s residence, she dies just as she reaches home.
Apart from her parents and younger sister, everyone else only worries that she might have offended some powerful person.
They take every last bit of silver from her bundle, then call her an ungrateful wretch for hiding money.
Cheng Shuhe transmigrates into the original girl just as she returns home.
Just as in the book, the Cheng family is worried that she has offended someone powerful and will bring trouble down on them.
Cheng Shuhe seizes the opportunity to have her parents sever ties with the Cheng family.
The Chengs wait for the family to fall on hard times and come crawling back to them.
Instead, they hear that Cheng Shuhe has opened a restaurant all the way in Qingzhou City.
Regrets now? Too late!
Cheng Shuhe ignores the people trying to guilt-trip her and focuses on making money.
Before she knows it, she has opened a restaurant in the capital and cleared the original girl’s name of the injustice she suffered at the Marquis’s residence.
But why won’t that cool-headed, dignified gentleman leave, no matter how many times she tells him to?
