[Ancient romance with a twist + bickering couple + street food + one-on-one romance]
Top night-market vendor Wen Bao'er transmigrates into the body of a down-and-out earl's daughter whose engagement has just been broken off. As soon as she arrives, she's bound to the "Win Back Your True Love System," which orders her to relentlessly pursue the arrogant young marquis Shen Si, who just publicly broke off their engagement, for three months. She must also earn a thousand taels of silver from her street stall to earn a new life.
To stay alive, Wen Bao'er pushes a little cart through the busiest streets of the capital by day, selling teppanyaki squid and grilled cold noodles. At night, she has to swallow her pride and wait outside the marquis's residence. "My lord, Bao'er knows she was wrong. Let me grill you a big heart-shaped gluten skewer!" The whole capital laughs at her for being crazy enough to debase herself by setting up a stall just to win a man back.
Three months later, Wen Bao'er has not only become the richest person in the capital with her snack stall, she's also received the System's notice that she's been released from her contract. She immediately packs up, ready to keep a few pretty boys and enjoy life. But that arrogant young marquis overturns her cart. Shen Si grabs her hand in a vice grip and grits his teeth. "Wen Bao'er, you haven't come to bring me grilled cold noodles for days. Have you found some other dog out there? I'm going to ask the emperor to grant us a marriage right now!"
Wen Bao'er stares blankly at the freshly earned banknotes in her hands. "My lord, get a grip. When I said I loved you, it was only to get you to buy my gluten skewers for ten taels each!"
