A food blogger wakes up as a wretched widow in a poor farming village. From the start, her mother-in-law steals her food and tries to sell her to an old rich man as a bride for his ghost wedding.
At death's door, the Child-Rearing System binds itself to her. Kneading dough for the kids earns her a secret seasoning blend, while teaching them to write wins her greenhouse technology.
Li Xiaomian turns the tables, grabs her wicked relatives, and plants them headfirst in a manure pit. She takes her adorable children along, and their daily meat feasts make the whole village drool with envy.
She casually hires a foolish-looking man as a laborer to chop wood and haul water. Who could have guessed that on the day her restaurant chain reached the capital, the simpleton would be robed in yellow and proclaimed a prince?
“I hear my beloved consort made me do hard labor for three years. How do you plan to make it up to me?”
