I Became a Widowed Mother with a Child, and Became a Billionaire Through Baby Food

After transmigrating, Lin Zhixia became a widow with a child whose husband, a military household member, had just died. She thought she could live in peace, but the moment she opened her eyes, she found herself in a hellish situation from the start.

Her husband had just died in battle for his country. Because the only child in her arms was a scrawny little girl, her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law snatched away the last half-bowl of coarse rice flour. The sickly mother and daughter were shoved into a sack and thrown onto the back mountain, while her vicious eldest brother-in-law threatened to burn the orphan alive.

Unexpectedly, she became bound to a temperature-controlled, sterile preservation compartment. Put the right supplementary food or medicine inside, and it would stay fresh forever.

Lin Zhixia immediately picked up a pair of iron tongs and started working toward a better life, beginning with splitting from the family and setting up a stall.

Tender fish floss, golden egg-yolk melts, sweet apple and Chinese yam mash, bite-sized noodles in spleen-strengthening bone broth...

Dish after dish of baby food left children throughout the city crying to be fed. Even princes, nobles, and other members of the elite came to her with bowed heads, begging for help.

Madam Li: “It's incredible, truly incredible. Thank goodness Lady Lin saved my son's life.”

The Grand Tutor: “When will Lady Lin open a baby-food shop in the capital? Who understands the agony of my grandson refusing to eat and howling unless he gets meat floss every day?”

The cold-faced prince: “I never believed in folk remedies... but I'll make an exception for Lady Lin's baby food.”

From a single mother and widow living in a shabby hut to the greatest imperial merchant in the world of mother and baby products, Lin Zhixia successfully built a maternal and infant empire in the Great Zhou Dynasty, leaving behind countless legends about “divine child-rearing.”
