Lin Ruyi, once a would-be chef who graduated from New Oriental, transmigrates into the body of a thirteen-year-old girl whose parents have both died.
Her eldest sister sold herself into service at a wealthy household just to put food on the table for them.
Her ten-year-old sister and one-year-old brother are still hungry and crying for food.
With no other choice, Lin Ruyi steels herself and raises the two children.
When she hears that her little sister is wailing because their own grandmother stole the family's food?
She rushes to the home of her estranged paternal grandparents. With a kick, she bursts the door open. The kitchen knife at her waist gleams brightly in the sunlight.
She spots the chicken coop by the entrance and gives a cold smile.
She pulls out her knife. One swift swing!
By the time the so-called grandmother comes out of the kitchen, Lin Ruyi has already chopped off a hen's head. Blood pools on the ground, the chicken's head lies at her feet, and blood has splattered across Lin Ruyi's face like several strange, vivid flowers.
Lin Ruyi looks like she has come straight from hell. Granny Liu's legs give way, and she drops to her knees.
The headless chicken flaps around on the ground a few times.
Lin Ruyi kicks the chicken's head out of her way, tucks the knife back into her waistband, grabs the mallet behind the door, and starts smashing things.
She has just one thought: If you won't let me live, then none of you will!
Tip: The heroine is extremely feisty and fierce, with formidable fighting skills. She absolutely will not put up with being mistreated. The male lead appears much later. This is mainly a story about food and farming, about an ordinary person's day-to-day life. There will be no court officials or other such figures.
There's also a new feel-good novel in the works, The Maid Goes on a Killing Spree! Give it a look if you're interested. It's the kind where she gleefully slaughters her way through everyone.
Theme: Keep going and make the best of life.
