This story is also known as The Talented Scholar Who Died Far from Home Came Back After I Was Widowed
[Top-Tier Cooking Skills and a Stunning Beauty * The Talented Scholar Who Says One Thing and Means Another]
Song Ran had just won a gold medal for her cooking when she opened her eyes and found herself in the body of a sweet young woman from a farming family.
The young woman was fresh-faced, with skin softer than silken tofu, but she was a pitiful soul whose parents never cared for her.
To save up a betrothal gift for their son, the Song family sold her to the Ling family, where she was to marry their youngest son in a ghost marriage.
The Ling family had spent over a decade supporting their son's studies. Who could have guessed that just after he passed the imperial examination as a third-place scholar, he would die far from home, leaving not even a body behind?
The family was saddled with a mountain of debt, a sick mother-in-law, a lame sister-in-law, and a niece left behind by an uncle who died in battle.
Everyone said Song Ran's life was over.
But this is what actually happened:
Her mother-in-law doted on her like her own daughter, her sister-in-law worried she might feel neglected and fought every day to do her laundry, and her little niece clenched her fists and pounded her back every day.
The whole family spoiled her like a baby.
Then everyone said, What's the use of being loved? She's still broke.
Song Ran silently pulled out her spatula, braised pig intestines, opened a restaurant, and built a thriving life for herself, becoming fabulously wealthy.
Then everyone said again, What good is money? She'll still be a widow for the rest of her life.
Who would have thought that the brilliant scholar who died far from home would suddenly come back...
