Modern baker Lin Wanting transmigrates to the Great Xia dynasty and becomes an ordinary daughter of the Lin family, who run a pastry shop in the market district.
Her family is poor, her parents are honest and hardworking, and she has a pair of young twin siblings to support.
With her exceptional pastry-making skills, she revamps the shop’s outdated treats. Her soft, delicate new pastries take the streets by storm, and she unexpectedly wins over the innocent young gourmand daughter of the Marquis of Ningguo.
When she learns that the elderly matriarch of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household is frail and must avoid sweets, Lin Wanting devotes herself to creating low-sugar pastries that promote wellness. Soft and delicate without being cloying, they nourish the body and restore vitality, earning her a place among the capital’s high-born ladies.
She doesn’t stop at pastries. She develops several beauty-enhancing floral teas and partners with a time-honored local pharmacy to sell them. Their refreshing, nourishing effects draw princesses, county princesses, and noble daughters from every great family in the capital, who crowd the Lin family pastry shop until they can barely get through the door.
In her spare time, she personally teaches her younger sister makeup and hairstyling, as well as sewing and dressmaking. She also takes charge of planning every kind of banquet for the noble young ladies, winning over the elite social scene with her clever ideas.
Her younger brother has lofty ambitions, so she pours her money and resources into sending him to join the army on the frontier. The young man distinguishes himself again and again, eventually rising to the rank of great general.
From a humble street-corner pastry seller to a remarkable woman who shakes up the capital’s society of noble young ladies, Lin Wanting relies on her skills and confidence, steadily building a reputation through one achievement after another. Step by step, she breaks the constraints placed on women in Great Xia and wins greater status and dignity for women everywhere. She leads her whole family to ever greater heights, earning their bright future and their place in this bustling world with her own two hands.
To be honest, it was too slow. Not to mention the cousin, a little villain who can only be regarded as a best relative, was solved in fifty or sixty chapters. Still not solved, he ran away in the end! He will definitely come out to harm the heroine's family later!
Very interesting food article
