Autumn Chrysanthemum, the Village Girl

Twenty-year-old country girl Jiang Qiuju is deceived by the man she'd been dating for two years, who takes her virtue and savings before coldly abandoning her. To pay for her mute younger brother's treatment, she sets up a huge iron pot in a worksite shed and cooks for the workers. With her pretty face and excellent cooking, she manages to scrape out a living. When she's at her lowest, domineering foreman Chen Tiesheng, stern inspector Huo Chengyuan, and hard-working laborer Liang Hu enter her life one after another. From a huge iron pot at a construction site, to a breakfast shop in a small town, and then to a grand restaurant by the bus station, Jiang Qiuju ultimately builds a fortune with her own two hands, takes fierce revenge on the man who betrayed her, and finds the tough man willing to give everything for her.
