The Village Girl Chef

Su Qiu went to sleep and woke up transformed from a restaurant chef into a frail village girl. Her parents are both dead, she has three younger siblings to care for, the family is so poor they can barely scrape by, and people keep showing up to collect debts?

This life is certainly a bit of a struggle.

Su Qiu isn't afraid. With a big ladle in hand, she'll earn her silver.

Dare to bully me, and I'll show you what a cleaver can do!

She's got money to spare, and her younger siblings are adorable. Life just keeps getting better.

As the young woman approaches marriageable age, suitor after suitor comes calling. Even the sons of wealthy families from the capital spend all day trailing after Su Qiu for a taste of her food.

The hunter at the foot of the mountain starts to panic: My wife is so wonderful. What if she looks down on me?

The hunter's grandmother is exasperated. The next day, she finds Su Qiu and says, "Girl, we're both flowers of our motherland, so would you consider my grandson? You can call me Grandma, and I'll call you Sister. That way, neither of us gets in the other's way!"

Su Qiu: ⊙_⊙

Build a fortune, raise the little ones, and find a good husband along the way.

Su Mian's father was the county yamen coroner, but he suddenly disappeared while on an official assignment. No matter how hard she searched, Su Mian couldn't find him.

One of her father's former colleagues took pity on her and privately told her to stop searching. It seemed her father had been taken away by the royal family.

At that time, the Sixth Prince, Mei Songjin, was ordered to leave the capital on an inspection tour.

To find her father, Su Mian swallowed her impatience and set out to seduce him with tender affection. She cooked for him and sewed his robes, making sure every step she took appealed to Mei Songjin's tastes.

Mei Songjin thought: She must be my destined love. She's beautiful, kind, and innocent, and she loves me so much. But I can't spoil her too much, or she might grow spoiled and take advantage of my affection.

He'd known since childhood that love was like warfare: you always had to stay one step ahead, or you'd end up like his father, reduced to being his mother's lackey.

Fortunately, Su Mian was sweet and sensible, with eyes and a heart for him alone. He only needed to put in a little effort to keep the whole situation under control.

He was the one in control of this game of love.

That is, until Mei Songjin saw Su Mian sitting face-to-face with the handsome new top scholar, Liu Huaiying, smiling sweetly.

Mei Songjin put on a fake smile and pretended not to care. "Maybe they're old acquaintances. There's nothing wrong with meeting up."

The next moment, Su Mian's eyes reddened as she whispered about how much she'd missed Liu Huaiying, who reached out affectionately to caress her cheek.

Mei Songjin: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

When the two men faced off, Su Mian, whose father had already been reinstated, had confidence to spare: We can make this work, or we can call it quits now.

In this game of love, Mei Songjin was the only one left heartbroken. He couldn't understand why the woman who had been calling him "My dear Mei" with such affection just the night before had changed her tune so quickly.

After taking many wrong turns, Mei Songjin finally won the beauty's heart. He sincerely admired his lackey of a father: So his father had been the real expert all along!
