Jiang Xuelin unexpectedly travels back to ancient times and becomes the esteemed legitimate eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yanping's household.
But before she can enjoy her riches and status, her stepsister and stepmother join forces to kill her.
Heaven gives her another chance to rise again. This time, all those ancient people who made her lose face as a modern person will pay!
But why is her new identity that of a poor, pitiful girl from the same dynasty?
Her father is dead, her mother is ill, her little sister is hungry, and they have neither enough to eat nor clothes to wear. Their home is bare of everything.
Jiang Xuelin rolls up her sleeves and gets to work!
She gathers herbs and hunts in the mountains, then clears fields and farms below. Little by little, she builds a better life.
After saving enough money, Jiang Xuelin moves her family to the county town and opens a small restaurant.
Business gradually flourishes and expands, from the county town to the prefectural city and then to the capital.
As her fame spreads, wealthy and powerful families offer her fortunes every day to cook for them.
Even the stepmother and stepsister who once harmed her come knocking: "Chef Jiang, we're hosting a banquet tomorrow. Could you come to our residence and personally take charge of the cooking?"
Jiang Xuelin: "Take charge of the cooking? Certainly. Since you've come right to my door and given me the chance to avenge my past life, I won't hold back..."
Theme: Wherever you are, keep striving and never give up.
