The Era's Live-In Son-in-Law: My Mother-in-Law's Whole Family Depends on Me

[Period Setting + Building Wealth + Food + Whole Family + Mother-in-Law + Sister-in-Law + Regret]

Reborn in 1988, Chen Yifan returns to the third month after he married into the Lin family in the county town.

In his previous life, he worked tirelessly for ten years, enduring constant mistreatment until he was thrown out, covered in injuries. He died miserably on the street on a cold night, but the hardships had honed his cooking into a mastery of the finest street food.

When he opens his eyes again, he pretends to be a timid, spineless live-in son-in-law and lies low, secretly holding on to his cooking skills. The Lin family casually makes him a promise: if he can handle an important banquet in the county town all on his own, they'll improve his living conditions and treat him well.

In his previous life, all he had was resentment. This time, he resolves to make a living with his cooking and build a prosperous household. The four women in the family each have their own distinctive character, strength, and warmth. Chen Yifan plans to treat them sincerely and use his abilities to support the family.

But as they spend day after day together, he gradually realizes that these women and their elders are nothing like the people he remembers from the grim memories of his previous life.

From then on, he wields his wok to cook up delicious dishes, opening restaurants and building a business step by step as he puts down roots in the small town and rewrites his bleak fate.
