Synopsis

Mermaid landlady x a young marshal who says one thing but means another | Food entrepreneurship | A love story that begins in a coffin and makes you cry

When Shen Haitang woke up inside a coffin, she had forgotten everything.

She remembered only two things:

First, she wasn’t human.

Second, she was hungry.

The man beside her, who was said to have been dead for three days, woke to the sound of her gobbling up the offerings. When he opened his eyes, she was holding up a huge chicken leg, crumbs clinging to her lips and fresh tears still in her eyes.

Their gazes met.

She thought for a moment, then held out the chicken leg. “Are you hungry too?”

He didn’t take it.

Later, everyone in the household said that the wedding meant to bring him good fortune had brought the young marshal back to life.

Only Lu Tingwu didn’t believe it.

He investigated her, interrogated her, and locked her up.

“You don’t trust me,” she said.

He believed her eventually. But by then, she had already run off and set up a stall at the docks. Facing a crucian carp, she said, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll make it quick.”

Before long, everyone in the city knew you shouldn’t mess with the landlady of the fish ball shop on East Street.

Not because she was fierce herself.

But because a man in military uniform was always behind her.

Unhurried, half a street away.

Like a shadow, or a signboard.

Don't recommend it unless it's actually a food novel. If it doesn't feature food, what the hell am I supposed to read it for? I'd be better off reading something else!

Ideally, the female lead is reborn or transmigrates into a book, and gets rich through cooking. Preferably no kids. I like career-focused female leads who shine on their own!!!

Are There Any Foodie Novels on Tomato?

Male- or female-oriented novels are both fine. No harems with three thousand beauties. Either no female lead, or just one. For female-oriented novels, anything goes, since I’m a total hypocrite about this. No brainless characters who get dumbed down!
