After her childhood sweetheart of a husband dies in the line of duty, Jiang Yao collapses at the memorial hall.
Her consciousness leaves her body, and she discovers that she is living in a period novel.

After she wakes up, she rolls up her sleeves and brings out her family's ancestral recipes, determined to save her father-in-law's life and raise her son to be healthy and happy.
The heroine can ride the prevailing winds and use food to earn her first fortune. As the heir to a royal chef, why shouldn't Jiang Yao be able to do the same?
And so, while raising her child and starting a business, Jiang Yao manages to sell her food all over the world.
There is a male lead, but he appears fairly late.
