[Reborn in a bygone era] + [raising a child] + [comeback and face-slapping] + [a regretful man gets his comeuppance]
In her previous life, Wen Ning was dumped by a cold military officer. She endured endless contempt, her little sister died because of her, and she lived a miserable life.
Reborn in 1978, she tore up the marriage contract on the spot and kicked that arrogant man to the curb!
Taking her young sister and the first-rate tailoring and cooking skills she'd honed in her previous life, Wen Ning resolutely headed south to Yangcheng.
Starting out by mending and washing clothes on the street and selling boxed lunches from a stall, she seized every opportunity of the times. She opened a tailor shop, took over a grand restaurant, and built a garment factory. Not only did she raise her sister into a talented young woman, she also gained a loyal, obedient little sidekick who was thoughtful and impossible not to adore.
Greedy relatives want to mooch off her? She sends them straight to the police station!
Local rivals join forces to crush her? She trounces them with hit products and new dishes, dominating the entire city's market!
Five years later, Lu Xun, discharged from the military due to an injury, arrives in Yangcheng and runs into the radiant, capable proprietress, now thriving in the business world. He completely loses his nerve.
The once-tough soldier swallows his pride and goes to her little restaurant every day to wash dishes and help the kids with their homework, pleading with red-rimmed eyes: "Boss Wen, give me a chance. I'll work for you for the rest of my life!"
Faced with his long-overdue devotion, will Wen Ning take him back?
