Period setting + Gourmet + raising a child + groveling-for-forgiveness romance + career
Modern three-Michelin-star chef Su Wan transmigrates into a book and becomes an army wife with the same name in the 1970s. The original Su Wan was malicious. To frame her husband's beloved cousin, she put croton seeds in the food, only to be caught red-handed and face the double threat of being kicked out and sent to a labor farm. Her cold, aloof officer husband, Gu Yanzhi, tossed her a divorce agreement. “Sign it and get out.”
Looking at her scrawny daughter Niannian, Su Wan sneered and took the pen. Fine, she'll leave. Who needs to wait on a man who thinks he's some kind of god?
But everything changed when even an ordinary bowl of dough-drop soup was so delicious it nearly made your tongue fall off, when senior cadres in the military compound lined up every day to snatch up plain wild-vegetable buns, and when Gu Yanzhi, who had once looked down on her, couldn't walk away from the enticing aroma.
Gu Yanzhi: “The leadership says they need to assess how harmonious our family is before approving the divorce.”
Later, Su Wan's snack stall became a sensation throughout the capital, the manager of a state-run restaurant came calling again and again, and a crowd of promising young men gathered around her, hoping to become Niannian's new dad.
With red eyes, Gu Yanzhi cornered her against the wall. “Honey, I was wrong. Forget the restaurant. Come home and cook just for me, okay?”
Su Wan: “Comrade, please behave yourself. We're already divorced.”
