    It's not a melodramatic story, there are no cheat codes, and it's not a transmigration novel. The female lead is just a good cook, and after transmigrating to ancient times, she only wants to accumulate wealth little by little through her skills and live the life she wants. There is romance, but it's not the main plot.

    A heartwarming and healing novel. "You mean, your bird thought I was camping, which is why it didn't lead me out of the forest?" Xia Ju was momentarily speechless, unsure whether to be angry or amused. What a joke! What normal person would dress in rags, be covered in injuries, and live like a savage to camp in a dangerous forest? She felt both angry and amused. She had struggled to survive in the forest, almost losing her life, and yet, in that bird's eyes, she was just a camper with an unusual style?
