[Farming + everyday family life + marriage before love + raising a child + food]

After her father passed away, Wen Yunxi ran the bun shop by herself, fending off thieves who coveted it while working hard to sell buns and save money.

Before she could make her bun shop the best in Xishui City, it was raided!

The Wen family in the capital had gotten into trouble, and even their distant relatives in the borderlands were caught up in it?

A disaster from the heavens!

Wen Yunxi was arrested and thrown into prison halfway through selling buns. She was made a convict slave and put up for sale by the authorities.

Just as she was worrying over how to escape her predicament, a fierce-looking man bought her and said she would be his "fake wife."

Being a fake wife wasn't easy. The fierce man was terrifyingly poor, with no rice, flour, or money at home, and there was also a child to raise.

As if things weren't bad enough, months of drought followed, along with bandits and barbarian raiders causing trouble...

Just as their life seemed impossible to sustain, rain finally fell. Wen Yunxi rallied again, rolled up her sleeves, and put her hands on her hips.

Heaven hadn't cut off every path for people. Wasn't she just supposed to survive and support her family? A woman could do anything!

Relying on her skill at making buns, Wen Yunxi started from nothing, bit by bit, and set up a food stall again.

Pork and scallion, lamb and radish, chive and egg, cabbage and tofu...

Their life rose steadily, like steam billowing from a bamboo steamer.

One day, Wen Yunxi stopped Zhong Buhui. With one hand, she lifted the lid of the steamer, tugged at the man's belt, and smiled at him.

"Which do you like better, me or the buns?"

Gu Chengze, who had been ignored, silently turned around so he wouldn't have to look at his brazen mother and helpless father.

Honestly, couldn't they at least be discreet around the child?

Three people, each with their own secrets, truly become a family.

1. A realistic slant, with no golden finger.

2. The heroine doesn't understand love at first, but becomes rather BT later on.

Theme: When family members support one another with sincerity, that is the foundation that allows a home to flourish from generation to generation.
