1980s + Food + Pocket Dimension + Courtyard Community + Get Rich
A state banquet chef dies suddenly and transmigrates, only to become a mistreated wife in the 1980s who can't even get a decent meal?!
Her shrewish mother-in-law skimps on her food, while her scumbag husband uses her dowry money to bankroll his true love!
He even points at her and curses, "You barren money pit! Without the Zhou family, you'll have to starve!"
Fine! Jiang Wanyin gives a cold laugh, leaves with nothing, and storms out with her scrawny little brother!
You really think I can't survive without you? She turns around, awakens the power of her ancestral jade pendant, and gains a pocket dimension with a spiritual spring!
With her superb knife skills and top-quality ingredients nourished by the spiritual spring, she sets up a giant iron pot right on the street. The aroma of her secret-braised duck wafts for miles!
Her scumbag husband's family comes sniffing around for a handout, green with envy? Sorry, out you go, beaten with sticks!
A fake sweet white lotus tries to act pitiful and steal her recipes? Get lost!
A rival hires thugs to smash her stall? She turns around and sends them straight to jail!
As she works her way from a little alleyway food stall to becoming a national food industry tycoon, her ex-husband's family kneels in the street, begging to get back together.
Jiang Wanyin can't even be bothered to look at them. Instead, the lofty big shot of the Beijing elite pulls her into his arms. "Mr. Zhou, stay away from us. My wife thinks you're filthy."
