Su Miao, the owner of a modern chain of smoked and seasoned chicken rack shops, transmigrates one day into the body of a country girl who jumped into a river after her engagement was broken off.
After transmigrating, she tears into her ungrateful ex-fiancé, demands back the 90 taels of silver she earned through hard work, and decides to return to her old trade: making seasoned chicken racks!
Then one day, she finds a badly injured, unconscious man in the chicken coop.
Su Miao thinks: In novels, women who pick up men rarely come to a good end.
She turns to her parents and says, “Dump him in the wilderness. We don't need the trouble.”
The unconscious Wei Xun struggles to open his eyes. “No... I'm a good man. You can save me!”
Su Miao says, “Fine, I'll save you. Once you're better, you can help me kill chickens to pay for your medicine.”
