Reborn in the 1970s: A Spicy Mom’s Life by the Sea

[Military marriage in the 1970s + searching for a missing husband with twins + getting rich through food + tearing apart a scheming fake friend + severing family ties]

Her husband has been missing for two years, his fate unknown, and now her wicked mother-in-law wants to sell her twins for a bride price?!

Michelin-starred chef Lin Wanxia opens her eyes to find herself a struggling fisherwoman and single mother in 1979.

With her husband’s family picking on her and her own family bleeding her dry, she grabs a cleaver and cuts ties on the spot!

Armed with first-rate cooking skills and an uncanny eye for seafood, she makes a fortune gathering treasures from the sea, protects her twins, and crosses provinces to search for her husband at the military compound.

When a scheming fake friend plots to intercept her letters and the other military wives close ranks to ostracize her, Lin Wanxia gives a cold laugh and takes over the military canteen.

One pot of exquisite medicinal cuisine makes every military wife in the compound drool, and one seafood dish wins over even the pickiest commanding officer. From village fisherwoman, she rises to become the provincial capital’s queen of the restaurant business.

When her stern, aloof husband, a reconnaissance battalion commander, finally uncovers the truth and pins her against a wall, eyes red as he apologizes, Lin Wanxia calmly hands him the ledger. “Commander Gu, want to cut in line and claim me as your wife? Pay your food bill first.”
