Su Jinyue was cooking New Year's Eve dinner in a rented house in Beijing. She made a wish to the Stove Lord to "change her life." A white light flashed and she woke up lying in the backyard of a dilapidated wine shop in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty.
She became the most miserable wine shop proprietress in Chang'an City, and she was still in debt.
When the general came to collect debts in person, he looked at her like a lost rabbit: "What did you cook? Give me a bowl too."
