Night Market Stall in the Eighties

Chen Xi transmigrates into a novel set in a bygone era, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting female character. Her husband has died unexpectedly, leaving her to raise their two children on her own.

It is the late 1980s. Envious of how the heroine, Chen Ling, got rich through business, the original Chen Xi listens to a con man and heads south to start a business. Instead, she is tricked onto a ship bound for a foreign country and meets a tragic end. Her children grow up to become useless social parasites.

When Chen Xi arrives, the con man is telling her how easy it is to make money in the south. Having been scammed before, she scowls, grabs the cup of water beside her, and splashes it in his face.

"I once swore that whenever I ran into a con man, I'd beat him up! Want to find out if I mean it?"

After chasing the con man away, Chen Xi looks at the children in the room and feels a headache coming on.

Two little money pits! She doesn't know a soul here. How is she supposed to raise them?

With no other choice, Chen Xi returns to her old trade and sets up a night-market stall.

Fragrant egg fried rice, glossy stir-fried rice noodles, spicy and savory malatang, unforgettable chicken soup hot pot...

Chen Xi's night-market stall gradually grows into a bustling open-air restaurant. Every evening, it's packed, with a long line stretching down the street.

But before long, people discover that the night-market owner, Chen Xi, has taken on some other roles.

Mother of the top science-stream student in the national college entrance exam, mother of a famous violinist, and wife of business tycoon Liang Cheng.

Wait, Liang Cheng? The self-made man who amassed a fortune worth hundreds of millions and became the richest person in town?

Everyone says Chen Xi is lucky to have caught Liang Cheng's eye. Some even go right up to Liang Cheng himself and ask what he's thinking. Chen Xi may be wonderful, but she comes with two kids in tow. He's young and rich. Surely he could find someone better?

Liang Cheng, wearing a red apron and helping clear the tables, sets down the rag in his hand. "Someone better? You're not me, so how could you know how lucky I am to share a household registration booklet with Chen Xi?"
