A Guide to Building an Ancient-Era Internet-Famous Restaurant

Brilliant beyond belief but hopeless at romance, culinary whiz × double secret identity, split personality, doting spouse, and the strongest fighter around

Lin Zhiye, a formidable career woman, was in a car accident and woke up in ancient times as a poor commoner. Her father had died long ago, leaving behind a widowed mother and three daughters. Their lives were unbearably hard.

Lin Zhiye: ...I could just die again.

By chance, she took in an amnesiac who was an unmatched fighter: taciturn, honest, humble, and utterly obedient to her.

Lin Zhiye: Got a problem? Take one step forward and see what I can do.

Lin Yunyu demonstrated by smashing a rock with one punch.

Everyone: ?! Let's get out of here.

The three daughters and their widowed mother, once forced to swallow their grievances, became the village bullies no one dared mess with.

What do you do when your home is bare of everything?

You use modern ideas to reinvent ancient dishes and make them the talk of the town. You farm and raise livestock, cooperate with local farmers, and build a supply chain. Then you put modern marketing techniques to work and run circles around the locals!

The beautiful proprietor of the Lin family became a sensation!

Lin Yunyu: Your mother asked if I was willing to marry into the Lin family and become your husband. I said yes!

Lin Zhiye: Dating is fine, but marriage? No, no, no!

Though she spoke firmly, in her heart she remembered all his quiet devotion. Fortunately, he had once told her that if she ever changed her mind, he'd be willing to marry her at any time.

Later, the village food stall grew into a food empire with chains across the region, and her eldest and youngest sisters both found good matches.

The Lin family rose to become wealthy and powerful, but Lin Yunyu, who had always obeyed her, left.

When they met again, he had become someone far beyond her reach. His personality was the complete opposite of Lin Yunyu's: ruthless, talkative, cunning, and arrogantly high-profile?

She: Would you marry me?

He: I don't know you, commoner.

Finally unable to take it anymore, Lin Zhiye grabbed him by the collar and demanded an explanation, only to hear him say bitterly:

I heard you went around telling everyone, overjoyed, that I was dead that year?

She self-righteously accused him of being the one who'd let her down first, but he pinned her against the wall instead:

Since you want so badly to marry me, why don't we consummate the marriage tonight?
