The celebrated female culinary master of the Tang Dynasty opened her eyes and found herself back in the days when she was newly married, dutifully observing the three obediences and four virtues, cooking for her devoted husband and feeding him with all her heart.
Her husband was handsome and elegant, with an imposing presence, yet Zhao Linglong's delicate brows were tightly furrowed.
Cui Xu looked at his new wife. "I still have things to take care of today. What did you want to say?"
Zhao Linglong handed him the paper in her arms. "Let's divorce."
Who cared about a marriage built on mutual respect? Whoever wanted to serve him could do it. She'd be happier on her own.
Cui Xu: "???"
Today's most explosive news in Yuzhou City: [Linglong, the only daughter of the Zhao family, merchants in the western part of the city, wants to divorce the second son of the military governor's Cui family on the second day of their marriage!!!]
/
Back to being single, Zhao Linglong saves her ancestral restaurant, keeps her family from falling into ruin, creates Zhao family cuisine, establishes a culinary school, grows chili peppers, and opens a spicy hotpot skewer shop.
Her business reaches all the way to Sogdia, and she is busier than ever.
With everything settled, she looks back and finally realizes that while she was protecting her family, her former husband, whom she'd always misunderstood, had been quietly protecting her all along.
So what are they waiting for? Time to build a happy home with a husband and children!

--------- Upcoming story: "Everyday Happiness in the Second Branch of the Wang Family After Rebirth" ------------------
A story about all the little ups and downs of country life
[Blurb] If you like it, please add it to your collection. I'm currently building up a backlog.
Qing Cuicui was reborn, returning to a carefree time when she was unmarried and still lived in the village, embroidering with her friends.
But men and women were expected to marry when they came of age. She was fourteen this year, and her family had already asked a matchmaker to discreetly look for a husband for her.
In her previous life, she married the county magistrate as his eighteenth concubine. The villagers said she wore gold and silver and lived in luxury. They didn't know she suffered constant abuse in that man-eating household, where everyone made her life miserable. In the end, the principal wife framed her for adultery with another man, and she froze to death in the bitter winter cold.
After much thought, Qing Cuicui decided that she couldn't rely on her parents' arrangements or a matchmaker. She would have to find herself a good man to share her life with.
Actually, Wang Ermazi, from the Wang family at the east end of the village, was a pretty good choice.
He was seven feet tall and not bad-looking. He was a little quiet and awkward, but he had a kind heart. In her previous life, after she died, he had collected her remains from the mass grave and given her a proper burial, even putting up a grave marker. The ghost official said that if he hadn't offered incense at her grave, she would have had to endure punishment in the underworld before being reincarnated.
Qing Cuicui made up her mind: in this life, she would live with Wang Ermazi.
She didn't mind being poor or working hard. She owed him a debt of gratitude!
In the end, everyone who doubted this couple was proved wrong.
Everyone in Huaxi Village knew that after Wang Ermazi, whose hard fate had supposedly killed all his relatives, married the eldest daughter of the Qing family, their life kept getting better. They earned copper coins and silver, lived in a tiled house, and had two chubby sons. They became one of the village's most respected families.
[THE HERO'S POV]
Wang Ermazi had been troubled lately.
Cuicui, the prettiest girl in the village, had asked him whether he would marry her.
He wanted to say yes a thousand times over. Cuicui had saved his younger brothers' lives. He had secretly asked around about her countless times.
But he couldn't marry her.
His family was too poor. They had no farmland, only a run-down thatched hut. He knew how to fish and hunt, and every bit of money he earned went to buying medicine for his younger brother. The family's rice jar was so empty that even the mice wouldn't bother coming by.
How could he bear to let a flower-like girl suffer even a little of that hardship?
What? Cuicui was going to become the county magistrate's eighteenth concubine?
That was good. The county magistrate's family must be rich, and Cuicui would live comfortably there, Wang Ermazi thought.
What? The county magistrate was no good, took several concubines every year, and one of them died every so often?
Wang Ermazi thought it over and over, then finally stopped Cuicui on a country path.
Wang Ermazi: "C-Cuicui, do you still mean it when you said you'd marry me?"
A sly glint flashed in the young woman's eyes. She smiled, her almond-shaped eyes curving. "Of course."
Reading guide:
* A cozy story about everyday family life, with a little sweetness.
* One-on-one romance, happy ending. They're poor at first, but things get better after hardships.
* Fictional setting. The heroine has no particularly powerful golden finger.
* "We make a good life with our own two hands," says the heroine.
Theme: Young people of our generation should strive tirelessly and help eliminate poverty!

Is Cui Erchang opening his mouth just to vent his anger? You can express it but you have to hold it in, hurting Linglong who loves you so passionately and sincerely (the previous descriptions of Linglong surrounding him really made people's noses sore). And why do you still insist on pestering the other girl after you are divorced? Maybe my personality is the "if you are ruthless, I will give up" type. If I don't feel hope, I will give up 100%, give up quickly, and never catch up. Seeing that the heroine did not say no to her ex-husband categorically, I felt a bit melancholy. After seeing this, I want to buy V. I don't know what will happen next. I hope Cui Er will not succeed in pursuing his wife so easily. It is necessary to endure some hardships. (I'm crying why this article doesn't feature the second male lead. I quite admire Brother Xie's chic and straightforward character, but it's a pity…
I think it's because I have the discerning eye to see good articles, hahaha. Baicai's writing and presentation are very good, and you can write it down even without using a system. The whole article seems to be well-written and coherent, but I personally feel that the plot in the second half is a bit hollow. There is also a common problem with female protagonists pursuing a career in food novels. It is a little too smooth. It would be more gripping if there were more ups and downs. This length is considered a short to medium story, with a rich story in the early stages, but a little lack of stamina in the middle and late stages. It is more about narrative and less memorable, but overall the flaws are not concealed. I like it very much~ I have already collected Baicai~I will continue to follow your works in the future~!
It's so beautiful, but no one is there? The writing style is very good, and the narrative logic is very reasonable. It is difficult to write new ideas in food articles, but it is good-looking.
Good guy, Gao Sanniang is not an ordinary woman hahaha
Hahahahahahahahahahaha going so fast
Hahahahaha this rumor spread hahaha
"Zhao" is a big thorn in the side of the author~
Xiao Yang can also leave it to medoge
"Heaven" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ too
Two places? May I ask if the male protagonist had anyone else in his previous life?
