Mistakenly Married to the Young Imperial Tutor's Doomed First Wife

[You can't get fat in one bite. Take it one step at a time.]

Life is a journey from a street stall, to a restaurant, to a grand eatery, and finally to a chain business, with no turning back on the road to making money.

Su Cen transmigrated into a book, into a country where food was a wasteland.

She thought she was destined for wealth and prosperity, but instead she became the doomed first wife of a young imperial tutor.

But there was always a way out. Her first priority was to raise the young emperor, whom Xie Huaian had secretly taken in, into a fine young man. If she played her cards right, she might secure a powerful ally and avoid an early death.

A good life called for good food. She had to introduce the emperor to all sorts of novelties, from crayfish to sweet-and-sour fish!

She also needed money, so she opened a dessert shop with the emperor and kept drilling into him that he had to protect his sister-in-law!

Life was getting better and better. Then one day, Su Cen opened the door and saw Xie Huaian sprawled in the courtyard, half dead. Her heart sank.

She thought she might as well run away. But as soon as she opened the door, she heard Xie Huaian's icy voice: "My dear, where are you going without your husband?"
