Making a Fortune Through Food in a Period Novel

Song Yao transmigrated into a book.

She became the heroine of a tragic period novel. The original heroine worked herself to the bone raising two unruly stepsons, serving her in-laws, and taking care of the household. She was practically an old ox in the fields. Only after wasting most of her life did she finally enjoy the good life with her wealthy husband. And then she died just ten days later!

Good heavens! Wang Baochuan waited eighteen years in a cold cave and still got to be empress for eighteen days!

Ten days later, the male lead asks someone to arrange a match.

Song Yao: You want a proper young lady like me to be your second wife? Dream on!

Whoever wants to be that stepmother can do it. I'm out!

Later, relying on her astonishing culinary skills, Song Yao seizes her chance!

The chili sauce she makes is exported overseas!

Her hot pot restaurant becomes an international chain!

The spiritual spring wine she sells has remarkable beautifying effects!

Spicy hot pot, potato noodles, braised pork, spicy crayfish, brown sugar jelly, osmanthus cakes, sweet fermented rice dumplings, grass jelly... Song Yao says she'll serve up both desserts and hearty meals!

Later, she becomes the first female billionaire in Huaguo!

Chu Peipei is reborn. She goes from being the pampered young wife of a rich family to a sickly little wretch. This time around, she plans to wait for that foolish woman Song Yao to marry and raise children, work herself to death, and leave everything for her to take over. The husband and stepsons will all be hers!

But the plot goes off the rails!

Chu Peipei watches helplessly as Song Yao kicks her future husband to the curb, moves with her family to a big city, lives in a mansion, rides in a fancy car, and starts a major company!

On TV, the national businesswoman Song Yao is as beautiful as a fairy, with a devastatingly handsome husband. Then Chu Peipei looks at her own husband and stepson, who can't hold a candle to them, and at herself, already looking old-fashioned...

Chu Peipei's whole world falls apart!

Song Yao: When the great roc rises with the wind, it soars ninety thousand miles.

A food-themed rags-to-riches story!

A satisfying read with no frustrating angst. The male lead appears later.

Theme: Women should be independent and self-reliant, and live life on their own terms!
