Shi Yiqing is a palace cook and the daughter-in-law of the Cai family, a minor official's family in the capital.
The entire Cai family throws their weight around because they have a little money and influence, bullying their downtrodden daughter-in-law at every turn... Then the whole family transmigrates.
The 1990s are a new era. Women can be independent instead of relying on their husbands' families. They can earn their own money and make something of themselves.
What a great era!
Her vicious mother-in-law still hurls insults at her and orders her to do the laundry and scrub the floors. Her husband is so self-righteous he can't stand up for her at all. Her sister-in-law makes unreasonable demands and orders a whole table of dishes for her to cook...
Shi Yiqing hands them divorce papers. I'm done serving you people.
Armed with her excellent cooking skills, she goes from a street stall to a state-run cafeteria, then to a restaurant chain...
When her ex-husband, who boasts about being well-read, can't even pass the technical college entrance exam, Shi Yiqing gets into a prestigious university.
When her lazy father-in-law sells the family home in the capital for a pittance, Shi Yiqing buys homes in both the capital and Shanghai.
When her sister-in-law marries in disgrace for the tiniest bit of bride price, someone throws Shi Yiqing a magnificent wedding of the century.
When her vicious mother-in-law tries to grind her down with old-fashioned ideas, Shi Yiqing's restaurant chain has spread across the country...

When Shi Yiqing first arrived in this world, a boy started arguing with her: "So girls don't need an education? They're just supposed to serve other people? They can just entrust their fate to someone else? How can you be so backward..."
While criticizing her, the boy taught her how to use a computer, took her to the library, and explained why girls must go to school.
Shi Yiqing would always remember that a boy had been the one to guide her as she adapted to this era.
