Li Qingqing dies and transmigrates to ancient times. She thinks she'll become an empress, a female general, or a government official, using a cheat System to start a life of showing off. Instead, she transmigrates into the orphaned daughter of a tavern owner.
In the freezing cold, her bloodsucking relatives have finished eating her out of house and home, and still curse her to her face.
Newly reborn, Li Qingqing wraps herself tightly in a little quilt and cries her eyes out from the cold.
Heaven is unjust, the world is unpredictable, and comparing yourself to others is enough to drive you mad.
But since she's here, she won't leave empty-handed.
She may not be a female general, but she's still a heroine.
She doesn't have a show-off System, but she can still use a food System.
The System tells her to save the failing tavern. She waves her little hand and, hey, she's got a great idea: she successfully wins over the amnesiac waiter and invents spicy hot pot.
Who doesn't like spicy hot pot? It's a delicious spicy flavor etched into our genes since time immemorial.
Neither ancient people, modern people, nor people-like creatures can resist it.
Just like that, a bowl of spicy hot pot saves the Tongfu Tavern.
But her bloodsucking relatives are insatiably greedy and want to sell her off.
She gathers evidence and leads the waiter in giving them a thorough beating.
Along with fame and fortune, she also wins the heart of the amnesiac waiter.
From then on, a loyal puppy follows Li Qingqing everywhere, wagging his tail.
Li Qingqing says the shop needs to draw in more customers, and he gets right to work without a word.
The tavern thrives, and Li Qingqing starts thinking about writing a food magazine.
Her loyal puppy runs all over the capital, gathering strange tales and interesting tidbits for her.
The waiter is tall, handsome, and imposing, but he's also so honest and earnest that he keeps her laughing.
A cheerful, lively little boss and a taciturn, honest man become famous throughout the capital.
Until Li Qingqing is framed by someone. Her loyal puppy sheds his honest, simple disguise and bares his fangs. It turns out the loyal puppy is a great big wolf.
The great wolf protects Li Qingqing, turns the tables at the last moment, and carries his boss lady off to live happily ever after.
