The Military Compound Smells of Meat, and the Big Shot Knocks on My Window Every Day

[Big Imagination + Army Life + 1960s Military Marriage + Transmigrate into a Book + Powerful Leads + Sweet Romance + Wish Fulfillment + Face-Slapping + Both Leads’ First Love]

Su Wanyue, a three-Michelin-star chef, wakes up to find she has somehow “flavored” her way into a historical novel, becoming the male lead’s former fiancée, a doomed extra who’s about to be written off in the 1960s.

The original owner was obsessed with the male lead and constantly caused trouble. In the end, she died a miserable death in the countryside, starving and freezing.

As Su Wanyue stares at half a steamed bun and a bowl of thin wild greens, she falls into deep thought.

Fortunately, her food System came with her.

While the whole village fights over half a spoonful of lard, she trades System points for a packet of braised-pork seasoning and makes the child next door cry with envy.

While everyone in the military compound chokes down bland meals, she pours boiling water over a packet of instant stock. Its aroma carries for miles, drawing in the male lead, a famously stern and cold officer who keeps his emotions under lock and key.

The original heroine returns, reborn, clutching her “authentic” coarse grains and wild greens, eager to laugh at Su Wanyue.

But Su Wanyue unleashes one modern food-industry marvel after another, crushing her with a massive technological advantage.

Braised pork, beggar’s chicken, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall… If she lacks the ingredients, she “creates” them with seasoning!

Later, the “dual-use military and civilian compressed biscuits” and “combat-ration luncheon meat” made by her Red Star Food Factory are sent to the front lines, where they earn great merit.

And the cold-faced officer who initially only wanted to “mooch a meal” soon finds himself cornering her every day, eyes reddening as he asks, “Wanwan, can I come home and have dinner with you today?”
