The Fiery Little Chef: My Sickly Husband Is the Marquis of the Court

Song Xiaoman is the shrewdest, most fiery proprietress of a snack shop in South City. She protects her food, her shop, and herself.

One stormy day, she brings home a sickly young gentleman and does the math: keep him around to ward off trouble. What a bargain!

Everyone laughs at her for keeping a useless freeloader.
