The Strong-Armed Chef Guards the Frontier, and I Snatched My Husband

(Farming and Food + Building Wealth + Super Strength + A Touch of Ensemble Cast + Live-in Son-in-Law + Sweet Romance) (Fair-skinned, beautiful, super-strong cook VS gloomy, lovesick, scheming heir)

Modern master chef Li Lanxue transmigrates to an ancient border region. No System, no pocket dimension, no golden finger, and not even the original owner's memories.

All she has is tremendous strength. A mute old woman takes her in, and she faces the government's forced marriage policy. Thus begins her quest to find a husband: first she picks up a “daughter” and pretends to be a widow, but the authorities don't buy it.

She picks up a “child bridegroom,” but the authorities still don't buy it. At last she finds a handsome man, only to discover he is a woman in disguise. Shen Lindu says she can keep pretending to be a man and become Li Lanxue's live-in son-in-law; after a while, they can divorce.

Li Lanxue thinks it sounds reasonable. She never expects her female son-in-law to be so capable: helping her claim land, establish an escort company, and turn an inn into a restaurant. Just as life is getting better and better, her female son-in-law has to return to her hometown, so they divorce.

Not long after, Li Lanxue hears that the Southern Liang court intends to execute General Shen. She makes inquiries and learns that General Shen is her former female son-in-law.

Li Lanxue immediately rides alone for a thousand miles to storm the execution ground and rescue her “husband.” In front of thousands of people, she shouts, “Southern Liang executes its meritorious heroes! You're not having her. I'm taking her home to be my husband!” Only after taking her home does she discover that her female son-in-law has become a frail, handsome man!

The handsome man explains, “Shen Lindu, who was your live-in son-in-law, is my twin sister. She fought the enemy at the border in my place, and I went to the execution ground to die in hers.

“You said in front of thousands that you'd take me as your husband. Now you have to take responsibility.”
