Simmer Until I Turn into Fragrant Lard!

Jia Baoyu said women are made of water, but by middle age they become dead-fish eyes!

Xu Jia is at just the age to become dead-fish eyes. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, mother and daughter, work and career, marriage, friends, and herself: Xu Jia is caught in the eye of the storm and says, “Let me go from water to fragrant, sizzling lard!”

This is a slice-of-life modern farming story, full of everyday minutiae. No romantic entanglements, no third party, no powerful male lead, and no all-capable heroine. Just the ordinary lives of a group of ordinary men and women!
