[Blurb]
Wen Wen, a graduate student in food science, wakes up to find that she and her dog have transmigrated together, arriving in a backward ancient era where people know nothing about cooking beyond adding oil and salt.
Other transmigrators get a golden finger like a System with all kinds of special abilities, or at the very least a prestigious family and status. She has no money and no identity at all. From the start, all she has is a pet dog!
Years later, Wen Wen sits at the head of the council chamber, stroking Niu Niu, who is curled up beside her. As she watches the councilors below eagerly offer their advice, a thought suddenly occurs to her:
How did I go from wanting to build a kingdom of seasonings to actually founding a kingdom?
He first saw her in a deserted mountain forest. She had collapsed on the ground in a miserable state, trembling with fear as she struggled to keep up a brave front and negotiate with him.
Seeing how weak and pitiful she was, he, a man usually cold and expressionless, agreed to her request and took her to a village where people lived.
Who would have thought that as they walked, he would end up bringing her home?
He had thought he would simply see the good deed through and find somewhere else to settle her.
But then...
Not only was she a good cook, well-read, and ambitious, she also knew how to charm people. The heart that had been calm and still since birth began to pound wildly under her influence...

[Blurb] 1. Wen Zhigu transmigrates into the beloved only daughter of the Wen family, a line of three generations of only children, whose grandfather is a grand tutor.
Miss Wen is skilled at eating, drinking, and having fun, but knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. She's a complete spoiled rich girl.
Wen Zhigu smiles until her eyes narrow.
Well, I'm pretty good at eating, drinking, and having fun too!
In less than half a day, Wen Zhigu is appointed by imperial decree to manage the Silver Bureau after demonstrating her keen eye for valuable treasures, becoming the first female official in the Kingdom of Heqing.
The news spreads, leaving everyone stunned.
How did that spoiled rich girl become a female official?
Wen Zhigu hears about it, looks up from her blueprints, and smiles.
I'm best at eating, drinking, and having fun, especially when it comes to using them to get promoted and make a fortune!
2. General Xiao Ruhan, rumored to be attracted to men, first meets Wen Zhigu at a welcoming banquet for envoys from a neighboring state.
How could a woman who lived secluded in the inner quarters recognize jewels unknown even to the court officials?
Her vast knowledge, ease and grace, and uniqueness leave a deep impression on him.
So when his grandmother asks that night whether he saw any interesting women at the banquet, he blurts out, "Miss Wen is quite nice."
The next day, his grandmother sends a matchmaker to propose, only to be rejected. Xiao Ruhan sends someone to make inquiries and discovers that the woman he thought was "quite nice" is actually a notorious spoiled rich girl in the capital!
But first this spoiled rich girl produces a telescope, then pulls out a pistol. Her brilliant ideas keep coming, and he finds it harder and harder to look away from her...
The noble young ladies of the capital envy the Grand Tutor Wen's granddaughter the most. She lives freely and happily, spending her days eating, drinking, and having fun all over the capital, while her parents and family dote on her endlessly.
They also look down on her the most. She comes from a family with a distinguished scholarly tradition, yet she refuses to study.
Then one day, Wen Zhigu, the very person they look down on most, is appointed by imperial decree to manage the Silver Bureau in front of everyone, becoming the first female official in the Kingdom of Heqing.
The noble ladies are envious and bitter.
Heh. Just wait and see how soon she gets stripped of her post.
But three months later, Wen Zhigu is promoted three ranks for her exceptional talent and becomes the first vice director of the Ministry of Works in the Kingdom of Heqing.
The noble ladies are green with envy and begin to deeply question their old assumptions.
Could being good at eating, drinking, and having fun actually count as a talent?
Theme: Be self-reliant and strong, even in adversity
Halfway through the chapter, I wrote about flower cakes and meat sauce. The meat sauce was mentioned briefly, the soy sauce was mentioned again and again but never made, and there were also the troubles in the male protagonist's family. It was too unappetizing and did not fit the title at all. . .
I am speechless towards the heroine, she is really self-righteous,
Earlier I was excitedly talking about hunting pheasants to eat, but now I am talking about the in-depth concept of protecting animals and I am not interested in the prey? The contradiction is not a contradiction like yours, right? . . . . . . . . . .

Calculating a pound of ten taels of pork, one tael of pork is already 70 yuan, but the meat sauce is only 50???
Xiuyan people actually saw Xiuyan jade hahahahaha
The male protagonist's attitude towards the female counterpart is really terrible. If you want to solve it, solve it completely. You procrastinate all day long. You ignore others and they pretend they don't know. You continue to pester and frame them endlessly. It's so terrible. I didn't read the article to make myself angry. I'm holding my breath while reading it now.
The male protagonist knows that Liu Yimei has evil thoughts, but he still lets her jump around and is disgusting.
The hostess is... This is so awesome. Even in a modern home of relatives and friends, you can't take other people's things without the owner's knowledge.
Isn't it good for the heroine to take the things that the old lady likes without the owner's permission? Even if she likes flower cakes, that's just what you think.
