My Cooking Skills Made Me a Star at the Border

Lin Wan, a top Michelin chef in the modern world, dies from overwork and is reborn as the wife of a soldier stationed at the harshest frontier of the Great Jing dynasty. The original owner was timid and clumsy, and a terrible cook who could only make bland porridge from coarse grains. Everyone in the military camp laughed at her, bringing criticism down on her husband, Lu Xiao, a decorated soldier gravely wounded in battle. In her previous life, Lin Wan had mastered top-level cooking, understood nourishing medicinal cuisine, and excelled at hearty everyday dishes. Reborn, she casts off her timid, weak ways and uses the simplest frontier staples, air-dried cured meat, wild vegetables, and game to create hearty military-camp meals that smell irresistible. A pot of hot food warms the bitterly cold frontier, wins over picky soldiers, and helps heal old wounds. Even the iron-blooded general Lu Xiao, cold as ice, falls completely for her homely warmth. From then on, through the endless snowstorms of the frontier, someone is there to cook him a warm meal year after year. With her cooking, the heroine thrives in this barren borderland!
