A Royal Chef Forced to Study Abroad in North America [Ancient to Modern]

Tang Ning, the top female imperial chef of the Great Yin, died on her way home to enjoy her retirement. Bandits stabbed right through her to steal the jar of pickles she was holding. When she opened her eyes again, she had become the true daughter in a storybook set two thousand years in the future. After her birth parents brought her home, they worried she'd steal the fake heiress's fiancé. Before she had even settled in, they tossed her across the ocean to study abroad. After twelve hours flying above the Pacific in a metal bird, Tang Ning hid the bruises she'd pinched onto her own arm beneath her sleeve, ignoring the strange looks from the passenger beside her as she accepted the truth. But could someone please explain... Why had her family gone bankrupt as soon as she became a poor student abroad, with nobody to send her living expenses? Were this dry bread, cold milk, and chopped-up grass really going to be her meals from now on? And what was this six-foot-tall, blue-eyed, blond man going on about? After the family went bankrupt, the fake heiress and her family moved to Hong Kong without a word. When her fiancé returned from a business trip to the U.S. headquarters, he said a fantastically delicious Chinese restaurant had opened in New York. It had won over all of North America, and even foodies back home had fallen for it. Wealthy families in the imperial capital were willing to invest a fortune to bring the chef back to open a restaurant. But before he could even go inside, the overseas students in North America had collectively reported the restaurant to the embassy. From then on, the Chinese restaurant made a name for itself in a single battle. Customers flocked to it from all around, lining up from New York all the way to Ottawa. The fake heiress didn't think much of it. That is, until she saw a familiar, elegant figure in a custom-made cheongsam in the garden at her century wedding... “Tang Ning?!” “Oh, it's you. Could you tell Mr. Huang that I have to catch the last flight to New York tonight? Otherwise, those overseas students are going to tear my restaurant apart.” Theme: No matter how hard life gets, always eat well
